Who in their right mind would fund a political party led by Minnis thereby supporting his efforts to become PM? Deep pockets know Bahamian voters have certainly been foolish at the polls in past general elections, but they are not insane. Allowing Minnis to be elected PM would be the very definition of insanity! Lord knows, Christie needs to be given the boot in the next general election, but must at the same time ensure Minnis never becomes PM as he would be, as difficult as it is to imagine, much worse than Christie has been or could ever be.

if Perry Christie the worst Prime Minister ever in the Bahamas can be given another chance by PLPs why cant Minnis be given a chance? we see what we got with Christie, we havent given Minnis a chance to run the country as yet and cant be judged until he does. I sometimes wonder what Bahamians want, perhaps its another five years of the PLP, anything is better than that.

You obviously don't know the real Minnis. There is a side to him you are very lucky not to know. Our financially crippled country is on life support and barely surviving under Christie; it would not survive one year with Minnis as PM! The safe bet in the next general election is to vote for the independent candidate running in your constituency or not vote at all. Just don't support any existing or wannabe politician with ties to the PLP, FNM or DNA; they're all corrupt incompetent dead beats.

Precisely!

Dear finance committee, take the advise of Leslie Miller and "carry your ass' The FNM will win with or without ya'll!!

Comrade Minnis still got the scare tissues from surviving all what Brent and Long Island's Loretta attempted to do to him since becoming the Red Movement's party leader. And both continue doing it in their pretend be supporting Minnis mode.

Who fabricated the blatant LIE that the Prime Minister is elected at the polls? Go do ya research.

Comrade Observer, while Constitutionally you are correct it still remains the road to the prime minister's office - whether it was "POP" Symonette as the nation's first Premier, Pindling, Papa Hubert or Christie as Prime Ministers, all the men's although not directly elected to the highest office of the land by the public, did in fact act during their respective parties elections as the public "face" and "voice" should their party win the right to govern. But with today's red politics being what it is, who in the hell knows what face does Loretta, Brent and Montagu's Richard, have in mind should it be Minnis coming out of the 2017 General, as the victor?

Minnis and Wells now need to explain how The Tribune received confidential government (Cabinet) correspondence and other documents pertaining to Stellar Energy and the LOI matter. It seems when Wells realized he was about to get shafted by those higher up than himself in the corrupt Christie-led PLP government, he went to Minnis and said: "I would be willing to cross over to the FNM under certain conditions." Minnis naturally responded: "What are the conditions and what do you have that I can later use to my benefit?" Wells would have then handed over to Minnis an envelope of documents and said: "I pledge my loyalty to you and by the way this envelope contains the full story on the LOI matter as I know it, showing who knew what when and did what at what time." Minnis would have opened the envelope, quickly looked over its contents and said: "Welcome on board my ship; you have made a wise decision my boy and I expect much from you on the loyalty front." End of conversation. Now months later Minnis chooses to leak some of the documents to the press while making sure to hold back on leaking other more incriminating documents for later use. As Edison Key would say: "It's always better to keep some dry powder on hand for later use at the most opportune of times!"

Minnis just wants to be the leader for his own ego. He doesn't care about the FNM or the country.

Why would anyone fight to finance that? Wells maybe? Let's see him put up some big money to back up his big "very old" mouth.

Comrade Economist, this ego nonsense done run it's course even by your choice of Red Movement leader, the lady wakin around since 2012, with the real ego thick brain. You
Lorettaêtes will need to work on a new Minnis attack and with a different leader than the one presented and busted out in the open at your August 27-29, 2016 convention lady.

Comrade ProudLoudAndRed, give Minnis credit for his smarts cause who else could have snagged $100,000 out Long Island's embattled Loretta and the party doesn't even have pay her back? And, snagged it certainly was when you consider what the media was reporting how she did try old wiggle trick out her from her obligation to hand over that $50,000 balance the media couldn't stop talking about??

Hilarious!

No shock there. Minnis is a has been. The only idiots who believe he can beat the PLP are those who are going over the cliff with him. Carry on smartly! Dead Perry will shuffle into another term and the sad reality is the idiots who insist on keeping him won't realize it til it happens. Child all I could say is run for your life!
