EDITOR, The Tribune.

The past undemocratic behaviour by Hubert Minnis is simply counterproductive. The many mysterious manoeuvrings with the constituency associations especially before the last convention will eventually be his Achilies heel.

On Shenique Miller’s “The Conversation” Senator Lanisha Rolle, a Minnis senior cheerleader, viciously and disgracefully spoke of Mrs Butler-Turner in a way like she was a PLP.  Senator Rolle in her passionate support risks “pissing off” other FNMs who are uncomfortable with Minnis.

The vicious attacks by Minnis’ surrogate Rolle on Loretta Butler Turner or anyone who dares to say anything about Minnis will not yield good fruit. It was clear that Senator Rolle was reading from a prepared statement.

What Rolle or Minnis cannot fathom is that if the FNM is to even be relevant in the upcoming election, he desperately needs for the FNM to be united. But the rookie senator, with little experience other than being a Minnis minion, does not understand politics or the Bahamian people.

If the FNM don’t want Butler-Turner and hate her as much as Senator Rolle displays, just kick her out in the street, and you will see, someone will have her, before you can count, 1, 2, 3.

I say to Senator Rolle, no one has to be in any organisation to be subjected to the ridicule that has been visited on Butler-Turner by her own party, and especially by you. If the FNM don’t need Butler-Turner, then do the best thing.

Life goes on after the FNM.

Finally, there are many hard core influential FNMs who are discussing not even registering this time. So the result would be the same as 2012. I sense there is a mass exodus from the FNM because of crude and crass behaviour like that of Senator Rolle.
