What a mess

There are no words for this level of foolishness in the Parliament of The Bahamas. Is Minnis really this simple-minded to haggle over what he knew would be a change of seats? And is he really this ignorant to invoke Pindling?

Oui. Yes. Si. etc. etc. in every language. What a shame.

About right for Minnis. All about himself.

Comrades! Under the spell of confused fuzziness, the house Speaker Kendal rose to ask the red party's chief representative Minnis to take his seat to allow the Queen's official representative Loretta to stand to confuse the honourable house even further - all while the green party's senator Bran, the red party's point man's in the senate, looked down from the window of the upper red chamber. "Only in Bahamaland politics, you say's" Pity..."

Whatever Minnis is smoking , I want some. "the FNM remains stronger than ever" what planet is he existing on ?

Minnis and his two supporters should have been placed at the end near the gallery ........ why are they sitting up under the Speaker??????? ................. Rollins and Chippie should book-end the Sterling Seven ............ for what its worth ......... I will enjoy the show

Prayers are seriously required for our country!!

Registration numbers will surely increase now...my appetite for politics and casting a vote has surely been renewed with this Butler-McCartney Coalition...now I gotta find my old voters card and go reguster.

The headline is misleading
There was no argument.
Minnis commented that he was relocated to the end seat that was the same seat that Sir Lynden sat in.

Theo Neilly then started apologising and then Loretta explained what kind of tumour she was.

"*then Loretta explained what kind of tumour she was.*"

LOL. It's so funny that the people supporting Loretta believe they've "won" something. They seem blind to the fact that the only thing they did was divide the vote further. This is like King Soloman's decision to divide the baby between the two women. Only this time, I don't think any of the women love the baby enough to give it up.

Hardly, my dear ignorant ThisIsOurs! Keep watching. There's much more to come. Win or lose, it's far from over.

Oh? Are you joining the UDP and Peoples Movement? Are more FNM's going to fall behind Loretta? Jokes. Can't wait for that to happen and the ensuing battle over who will be leader. No, Deputy leader. And who will be disgruntled in month 2 because they didn't get it. Popcaarn please. LOL. PLP all the way. ROTFL.

The main problem with this setup is that Loretta didn't get to be leader via a vote of "confidence", ironic isn't it? On her side she will swat hard at anyone who questions her authority. She will feel threatened because she knows she didn't get it the right way. From the other side, people will question her authority because she didn't get it the right way. The road ahead is clear, the baby is in danger.

Divide the vote further? It looks like they are forming a coalition with DNA which will diminish the split vote. (Note I said "coalition", not joining parties.) That is the best move to go against the PLP in the next election.

Wow! All it took was a Senate seat to get Bran to turn over the DNA to LBT thereby abandoning and betraying all longtime supporters of that political party. Next will come a most interesting re-shuffling of the DNA's leadership apparatus along with changes to its slate of candidates for the next general election. It seems Bran was always about Bran and Bran alone as many of us suspected, explaining why his party was never able to secure a seat in the HOA. The implosion of the FNM now seems to have led to the implosion of the DNA, leaving only the PLP standing.

Crooked Christie's enrichment of the Dimwitted Doc's pocketbook has bought Christie much more than he (or his Red China friends) could have ever expected or dreamed. Yes, it certainly looks like Red China has decided and made it possible (by dishing out the cash) for Crooked Christie to have another five-year term. And to think the Obama-led U.S. government is worried about the Russians having interfered with the recent U.S. elections! What a joke!!

By the way, who in their right mind would now cast their vote for Lloyd or the constantly yapping white-haired little poodle?!

Anyone who believe a coalition between lorreta and bran is a recipe for winning is more deliusional than perry christie. The elephant in the room is the fnm voters which accounts for at least 40-45% of the voters. The dna won 8% of the votes in 2012 the fnm 43% the plp 48+% do the maths

Wishful but not smart thinking. Now much more like FNM 20%, DNA 25%, Undecided 45% and PLP 10%, with most of the Undecided to vote for who they perceive to be the better person regardless of the voter's past party affiliation or the candidate's current party affiliation or lack thereof. It's the 45% Undecided that will keep the register of voters to an all time low until the last minute possible. They simply don't want (and don't need) to tilt their hand and for good reason. They want to make sure the Boundaries Commission has no opportunity to throw them into a bucket of voters where their vote will count less towards the outcome of the election they desire in their constituency. Bahamians thankfully are not as D - stupid as the PLP might think and have uncanny instincts.

there is no data that shows undicided voters represent such a high %. his torically swing voters in the bahamas range between 10-15%. You are day dreaming.

You must have been one of those rather naive and uninformed supporters Hilliary Clinton!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. . .and the those whom the gods will destroy they first make mad. . .you are now lying to yourself. . .the blind leading the blind. . .yinna gat a date with one ditch just down the road there! Lol! Watch out nah. . .word on the street is that doc will not allow the "UBP-FNMs" and they will give their money to Bran and LBT. . . doc want to give the "lil" man a chance at the pie. . .that's why yinna "jooking him up" . . .he is the man for the people! Whether this true or not. . .IT HAS TAKEN ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN AMONG THE PEOPLE. . .AND NOW THE DNA HAS BECOME A PART OF THE "SELL-OUT" BACK TO THE WHITE UBP-FNM GROUP! Now it has two white persons who added to that perception. . .enough said. . .word to the wise! The race has been effectively handed back to the PLP or FNM. . .make me wonder if this was not a clever plot by doc to "kill" the DNA by the ego of its leader. . ."bait-and-switch" . . .throw him "lil power" and he can't resist. . .now he all over the place saying things. . .contrary to some of the things he stood for in the past! For example, when doc said they want to "talk" with the DNA. . .LBT WAS THE ONE WHO JUMP-UP IN THE PUBLIC AND SAID THAT THE FNM WAS THE ONE WITH THE "BRAND" AND BRAN MUST DISBAND THE DNA BEFORE SHE WOULD PAL-AROUND WITH HIM. . .THIS GER BE LONG! Now everybody saying something else. . .hehehehehehehehehehehe.....................I hope the FNM don't get rid of LBT. . .

This joining has effectively "neutralized" the DNA factor for CLEAR RUN-UP TO THE PMship for Doc. . .the seven and the DNA all one time! I may be sitting on the sidelines among these "political strategists" around here who cannot think their way out of a wet paper sack. . . I will do like Minnis, Pindling et al. . .don't give them any advice. . .stand aside and watch them self-destruct!! I will comment when this group eat its "own dung"! A party leader who stood before the public and lied to us about the "talks" that was going on with the DNA...lol!

Doc is a can't do, have done nothing in 4 years dud. He sure as hell will make sure that I don't vote FNM if he stays.

FNM needs new leadership period. And that includes the executive and most of the geriatric council.

Your figures are not correct

Rumours are running rampant that Bran has promised LBT she can run under the DNA banner in the Montagu constituency if she senses Long Islanders will not give her the support she believes she deserves and that this apparent fact has greatly offended and incensed the constantly yapping little white-haired poodle who has very foolishly and prematurely proclaimed his undying loyalty to the Dimwitted Doc Minnis.

There are times when silence is golden. For some in the political arena, this might be a good thing at this time,

This dimwitted greedy tyrant and the few who choose to cling to the party he has hijacked are going nowhere. His political wings have been clipped but good....he will now flounder around on the ground for a while making more noise than a squawking albatross suffering from excruciating labour pains, but thankfully he will never fly again over our country's political landscape!
