Dr Minnis where do you get this idea that persons are disappointed in electing the PLP ? You must know that The FNM's are disappointed in you as their leader. What nonsense that you will govern from the opposition just plain foolishness.

I guess he listens to "disappointed persons"....just a guess

So I guess VAT is not coming despite them trying to force it down our already strangled throats, and the STEM cell project is on hold and the Prime Minister himself regrets the decision of spending one million plus dollars on a referendum that he didnt respect in regard to the majority vote that in turn increased our national debt. Hmmm, seems like they love to sell dreams to the people, because of the fact that their own agenda did not reflect or encompass these three main issues that they all of sudden became interested in and it is now holding the country hostage on an international level. Power itself has time and time again proved to be detrimental to the human mind and works, once they technically possess it. I really dont think the FNM is going to make any more of a difference other than try to cover or clean up the PLP's mistakes on top of their own.

If an election were to be called now, I know for certain I would not vote PLP, and about 99.9% certain I would not vote FNM...they'd need to pull some small miracle out of their backsides to prove to me they have what it takes to govern again...in their current state, I do not think they do.

Amen to that. I agree with you 100%

This country is crying out for a third party with people not blindly aligned to the PLP or FNM. The DNA doesn't seem to have enough depth but that could change if enough influential people become disaffected with the same old tired and failed politicians from the mainstream parties.

Isn't it un-blissfully sublime to have the opposition's leader say he wants an immediate election when he is in absolutely no position to contest and win an immediate election??? i feel sorry for the decent, right-thinking people of this country

Yep. Thought about that when I heard it, if elections were called next week, would he be ready? I doubt it. We'd get another group of straggly candidates get-rich-quick because no one is preparing seriously to help Bahamians...

I must agree that both major parties are not what the Bahamas needs right now. But members of the FMN party are a little more sincere with their undertakings. I can say for sure that they are not of the same ilk as this bad boy crew. It is like night and day: Those who cannot see the difference are either complacent with the mess around them and are perhaps contributing to the mess, fooling themselves, too caught up in party allegiance or should never have voted.

I agree, something really seems to be missing in the character of the PLP representatives. They're just deal makers concerned only with their own enrichment. Shane at NIB??? That was **really** weird. it's almost as if they feel they are some elite class, way above the average Bahamian. Nothing said it better than Bernard Nottage being escorted out of his own immigration road block while hundreds of Bahamians sat and waited because they were too "ordinary".

That said, the standard of performance for the FNM should not be this bunch, their standard should be Excellence.

The best thing the PLP has going for it these days is this idiot Mr. Minnis!

It was always going to be difficult for the FNM following the landslide deception in 2012. However, there is no question that they are performing poorly in opposition. I would be amazed if there is not a successful leadership challenge and complete re-vamp of the party before the next election.

But seriously though-In a REAL country, PC would have been made to resign or would have gotten a vote of no confidence, because of his blatant incompetence.

PM Christie would scare the living you know what out Leaders Minnis and Loretta, if he were to call an early General Election. The reds are a still "leader away" from the 2017 General Elections much less an early one. But he did make Bahamalanders laugh. But a leaderless red party might do better than a Hubert lead managed to pull off in House seats back in 2012.

Minnis is a Jackass! I've never voted for the PLP, and don't think i will ever, but i certainly won't for the FNM again with this jackass as the leader.

We call for Minus Minnis to ''PLEASE SHUT THE PUKE UP"

This is so Third World

We might as well settle for a COUP

Yall dont like PLP, FNM, DNA

What about da Ton Ton Macoutes???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
