Never count on these politicians to discuss the deeper, more fundamental aspects of statements like those made by the Prime Minister. Symonette has never been a deep character in Bahamian politics anyway though.

And incidentally, Christie did not say he may soon be drafting such legislation, especially since such a change would require what we all know he will not have, a referendum, because such a change would necessitate other changes to the Constitution in order to make such a change Constitutionally and conventionally sound. Christie said that last term when Kenyatta crossed the floor, he thought about it. And then in his typical wax-ineloquently style, he said that maybe we could think about talking about it again.

Y'all Jusssssssss seeing dis now doe...........

We see so much evidence of the dictatorial leanings of many of these politicians, but we play dead to it and will continue to do so until one day we will wake up and realize that we are so far into the quicksand there is no salvation at the ready.

This is nothing new, guys.
Hubert Ingraham defected to the FNM too, after having "fallen out of favor" with Pindling back in the 80's. Perry Christie also left the PLP at one time and ran as an independent candidate in Centerville after contending with then Prime Minister Lynden Pindling.

The only thing that makes this headline so intriguing, is that it envolves two individuals rather than one, both leaving at the same time, for the same party. The fact that it was conducted so expeditiously and willingly by the FNM party, may have an negative effect on their attempt to win-over the Bahamian electorate. Just saying.

You would think someone like Brent Symonette would have enough common sense and decency to stay out of active politics for the rest of his life by recognizing the huge role that his family and his extended family have played in laying the faulty foundation upon which the dire problems today of most honest hardworking Bahamians was built. The Symonette family are not too dissimilar from the Christie-led PLP government, or the FNM leadership for that matter, when it comes to the greed and corruption that has brought honest hardworking Bahamians to their knees. He reminds me very much of Franky Wilson aka Snake. Snake would be only too quick to say the Symonettes are ripping off Bahamians with the excessively high interest rates on consumer loans charged by Commonwealth Bank and Brent would say that Snake is ripping off Bahamians by his outrageously priced fuel sold by FOCOL to the Government (more specifically to BEC and for all Government vehicles at the gas station pumps) not to mention his land deals involving Arawak Homes that deprive Public Treasury of the tax dollars any other honest hardworking Bahamian would have to pay.

Tribune love dis dude doe....

Excuse me, but isn't that how the PLP first came into power? Tribune research the story.

Comrade Sansoucireader I take it you do not believe there is merit to rumours
that a group of Red House MP's had sought an appointment with the Governor-general to have her remove Minnis as leader of the official opposition in House of Assembly - nor that Dr. Andre and Renward are being used by Minnis for his own leadership selflessness?
