These fool dem worried about the "utter chaos into which our beloved party has fallen"......

What about the Damn Country?!?!?!?! stop worrying about your title and status and actually do ya job. i ein sorry of none of them because guess wha, if they was doing they job, they wouldn't be kicked from council, they wouldn't have lose their constituency, they wouldn't be a completely redundant waste of space and wages in our political system!!

Kick them out completely!

Boi... you try really hard to disguise your intelligence... but I can see through it. During the trial of Christ, it was said, "Your speech betrays you". In any event, you right!!! let's do our job and it won't be so bad.

Here we go again with these cowardly FNMs wanting to remain anonymous and the Tribune continuing to facilitate this tabloid-style foolishness. Why didn't this person make this noise in council itself? Why would you leave the most powerful body in your party and come run to the Tribune with a limp-wristed mask over your face? If your party means so much to you why the heck wont you stand up for it like men and women instead of hiding behind the pens of newspaper editors? Either way, the Bahamian people do not care about what is happening in your party and this is the actual reality that these people refuse to accept. With all that is happening in this nation, nobody cares about a bunch of people in a party who are too hapless and worthless to preserve what they are coming crying to the public about via the papers. The FNM is an embarrassment now. If this coward is so concerned about how the FNM looks or stands going into the next election, why is he taking council matters to a national daily?

Agree!

Good riddance, move forward.

Look, Bahamian citizens have more pressing concerns right now than the FNM's internal politics. If Minnis is to be your leader then get behind him. If you don't want him then get him out BUT DO IT SOON because the country needs a strong an united opposition party heading into election year.

right

A real coward he or she should get kick in their ass on the way out

... that is prepared to be the Government; to continue with what you were saying.

Comrades is it fair says that the high frequency this one particular "remain anonymous" red source popping into this one particular story has gotta left more than a few Tribune detractor readers to be thinking, if they are going "unnamed" cause they never did really exist in da red flesh?
Can it be just me own curiosity why it sure as hell does feels likes "Fisherman's from Cooper's Town" keeps sprungin ups me much skeptical mind?

Naw, dems jest want to erase da Fisherman influence, especially his "son" from the other side of the blanket .... wink ... wink ...

Mr:Pintard is a very good fib teller. he lies as fast as he can talk. Mr: Roberts should leave them alone with whom ever they choose to run on their party ticket. The worst they do. the better for his party. But my question is why is Mr: Pintard always on some Highway with a lot of traffic talking to news reporters from the FNM TV station?

I have a question for all of you hypocritics who have posted negative comments herein above. Why are all of you using nom de plumes as signatures for your posts? Are you all hiding as well? Are you all cowards?
Hmmmm? I'm certain that just as the former FNM Candidate has a good reason for not disclosing his/her name so do you all.LOL…LOL.

This person is a moron. None of us hold posts in a major political party and are running to the media for the media to do for us what we are too cowardly to do for ourselves. Are you putting us on the same level as a member and former candidate of the FNM who feels aggrieved about voting rights in their party? Obviously this person who is also hiding, had something to do with this story, because anyone who defends people hiding on matters they ought to be man or woman enough to show their face and name about, has an interest in why these trite and frankly useless tactics are being employed!

Yep

What is you actual name? Mine is actually Godson Andrew Johnson, aka Nicodemus.

Unless I am mistaken, persons who lost in the constituency they were running in, were asked to step down from the council? I do not mean to sound callous but this is not some Scouts or Junior Achievement group. We are discussing the effective running of a country. The lost of your seat to another party, sends the picture that the people do not wish for you to represent them.
Let us now find someone else to sit in those seats. I am saddened as some of those persons were seasoned veterans, but we have to make way for others to now sit on the council. If those dismissed feel disenfranchised they can speak out or/and join another party.
Also this anonymous thing shows me that if elected, you may also be afraid to stand up for your constituents. If you feel so strongly about what you are doing then do it openly. As for those of us writing on this forum under an alias, those who know me, know I am always on the frontline and as a Unionist, I have even had a former employer attempt to sue me.

What then is you actual name? Mine is actually Godson Andrew Johnson, aka Nicodemus.

Comrade Fitmiss, the "many" failed 2012 General's red candidates were indeed rejected by voters. If you either get rejected for a job or fired, how can you expect be hanging around a company's offices or premises?They would call the policeman's come remove you're red backsides?
Likewise, didn't the red party's convention delegates just recently do their own vetting "against" Loretta?

Exactly.

Well... Dr. Sands lost his bid for a seat a couple times and he was in the first group named as candidates...Why him and not Bannister and Hunt for instance who lost- but ran well in my opinion. I never thought I would hear this come out of my mouth and PLP Roberts might have used flowery language in his rebuke- but he ain't far off. Disappointing Mr. Pintard. I expected better from you. So please do better with the next batch. And VET these people- Don't ask their friends and family about them- ask people who used to work for them, from the lowest to the highest on the totem pole. Frankly you should have asked some clients and employees of the first 8.....A couple of them won't be elected dog catcher after things get hot.
