"A $100 fine; a suspension period of up to one year, or expulsion from the party."

So resign from the party or the worst he can do is expel them from the party? Yeh, makes sense. I bet they're quaking in their boots.

Who are the misguided souls standing up in support of this poor excuse for a leader.

Last nights introduction of Minnis as the next Prime Minister of the Bahamas truly scared the sheet out me. Sorry FNM. I couldn't vote FNM with the seven and won't be voting for FNM without them. The problem for you isn't the seven - it's your so called leader who got Goosied on the floor of parliament yesterday. You have to remember that the FNM could never win with just the people in the room from last night. Your leader does not appeal to the wider population and has done a PISS POOR job as leader of the opposition. He is painfully incompetent and the sooner you all realize that the better for us all.

So you're saying that in spite of Christie's clear demonstration that he never has and never will embody any characteristics of a leader, you would still be willing to vote for his leadership again which is not only incompetent and piss poor, but devastating to the future of the Bahamas itself and the Bahamian people?

Let them remain part of the party since only one of them is ratified a candidate in the person of Loretta. Minnis is still leader of the party so he still call the shots, run an independent against Loretta, win the seat and then join the FNM. (Sounds and looks familiar.) That would be more devastating to her than having her resign from the party. One thing for sure, she can't win in Montague, St Annes and especially Long Island. Dr. Minnis should have ratified Andre to run in Long Island in thew first place when she was complaining about Rollins and Minnis undermining her. He would have a better chance with that. Now the two hugging up like nothing happened. Politics do make some strange bedfellows.

I cannot understand, for the life of me, why Minnis would want to continue to bring all this humiliation on himself?

Everyone and their mother has said that he is not a good leader, why continue?

He has destroyed the FNM and should resign the leadership, the party and politics.

(Ok, I know, you have to care about The Bahamas to do that.)

Minnis is going to cut off his nose to spite his face .......... and he is already disfigured ...... Minnis time is over ............ 400 delegates cannot save his lousy ass in Parliament ............... the time for change is NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

The job is only half done. The entire leadership apparatus of the FNM party needs to be dismantled otherwise it will remain a failed party hijacked by the very deceitful, arrogant and incompetent Minnis. If this cannot be achieved in relatively short order, Bahamian voters should simply consider the FNM party to be a politically defunct organization of the past, with no future political purpose whatsoever for our country....much like the PLP will be after the next general election.

What disciplinary action is he talking about?. Butler Turner is the only one who has been
given a nomination does he have the power to throw them out of the party? And what about
the wide bench Doc always talked about.

The seven need to cut a deal with the DNA and we The Bahamian people will do the rest, ego's aside, it is now or never.

**...................... DNA Cannot Be Stupid Enough To Touch The Nasty Seven ..........................**

McCartney better have sense enough not to allow these 7 untrustworthy vermin into his camp, as **general perception of the electorate** is BLT and Rollins cannot be trusted beyond line of sight, and the rest fall into the same boat!

DNA needs allow the FNM to continue to implode and try forming a solid coalition with the Gate Keepers.

These 7 proven wackos carry little weight and would be more of a liability than an asset to DNA!

Asiseeit and SP ........... a compromise of all parties that are anti-PLP must happen by January or the PLP will get an easy election victory .............. Minnis needs to see the writing is on the wall for him and Perry ......... he should now do the right thing and step aside and let a third party leader like Jeff Lloyd, Bran or Greg Moss to become the new FNM-led coalition leader and unite both FNM factions and bring the UDP, DNA etc on board to kick the PLP out of Office in 2017 ........ watsayu??????

The FNM party is no more and the root cause of its demise was Hubiggity's piss poor sore loser conduct in response to the thrashing he received from Christie in the last general election. Hubiggity's angst and utter disgust at the conclusion of the 2012 general election resulted in shameful post-election bahaviour on his part. Hubiggity's disgraceful walkaway from the FNM party back then created a power vacuum easily filled by a blithering incompetent corrupt imbecile with zero charisma and absolutely no ability to think quickly while standing on his feet to address or debate anything. We all know Minnis was never possessed of the qualities necessary to be or become a political leader; he could never overcome his many obvious limitations. Hubiggity knew all of this when he observed Minnis maneuvering to fill the leadership role in the opposition and the FNM party shortly after the last general election. But, like a spiteful child, Hubiggity did nothing to prevent the disaster he undoubtedly knew would be coming the FNM's way under the failed leadership of Minnis.
