Desperate and perverted??? How about a flat our racist attempt to win in an area that the PLP will never win?? And getting rid of Montague for historical (racist)reasons? There aren't too many more landmarks in our country that have "more" history then Montague. Racist fucking crooks . . . .

Will never win? They almost won it in 2012 and with the cuts now are very likely to take it this time. Do people actually pay attention to what happens from election to election? Regardless of a name change and whatever the rationale for it, how does a name change, change the minds of the voters if the voters are minded to vote the PLP out? If Montagu means "white" to the PLP, it obviously means the same thing to FNMs, else why the anger?

I agree with you sea.... It's gerrymandering at its finest.

I live in Montagu, I am black and I am offended.

If names don't mean anything, how about we rename Centreville "Outdoor Toilet Headquarters" since that has historical significance as being the one constituency with outdoor toilets that's represented by the man with the highest position in the land. How about that?

> the “deliberate elimination of middle class areas” from the former Montagu constituency.

Oh FNM just be honest. You are talking about white Bahamians who your candidate is now miffed about no longer being able to work with. Bahamians are Bahamians. We know the PLP's mindset, but why are FNMs so angry about whichever class of Bahamians they will have to work with in the newly drawn constituency? Is the constituency suddenly of lesser value because poorer black Bahamians and less white Bahamians, make up more of the numbers therein? Again as I always say, we can never have an honest discussion about race in this country, on both sides and the sides in-between. Are white Bahamians nearly as angry about all this as the FNM's candidate and others? I'm not. No name change or line change in the world could make me see the world or the PLP in a different light. If you are a solid PLP, you are going to vote for them come hell, high water or a line change. Same with hardcore FNMs. Can we please focus on the issues at stake instead of crying about who gets to represent white Bahamians and who does not?

> Playing on the emotions of the public, particularly the vulnerable and less educated is a perverted methodology and has no place in a modern Bahamas.

Why isn't this considered a racist statement? So black means vulnerable and less educated?

Perry Christie will come on the stage and say to these plp fools and shout "I have change the boundary to reflect the ancestral history of a major part of the constituency" and the crowd will go wild !lol this is the best Perry could do !lol #votetheyassout

PM is showing-off his latest new shuffle dance move - No more UBP Montagu!

Even the current MP Richard Lightbourn correctly says there is nothing in a name and it won't change people's minds. So what is all the fuss about from other FNMs? Times change and so has Montagu. Other constituencies across this country have sustained major changes under both parties, including historic name changes. The FNM should just be honest about what truly bothers them in this, but let them do that on their own time and focus on the issues and the needs of the people of the area. And if the FNM has that much of a problem with representing mostly "vulnerable, uneducated" people in that part of New Providence, perhaps they should simply concede the seat now and let the PLP deal with "their people". It truly bothers me the way we see each other in this country and the way our politicians play on the same.

**No Matter How They Slice It, PLP Are Still Abject Failures With No Chance Of Winning**

PLP clowns couldn't win with a buoyant economy and a 7% unemployment rate in 2007.

They certainly cannot win after promising "Bahamians First" "We Believe In Bahamians" "Help & Hope Is On The Way" "Mortgage Relief" "Solution To Crime" "Investors galore waiting On Christie", then doing a complete 180 turn "on day one" that TOTALLY decimated their own lower and middle-class base!

Look at Bain and Grants town constituency, a PLP "grassroots" stronghold that actually has the lowest voter registration to date of any constituency.

People black and white, rich and poor, across the board are sick and tired of the PLP non-stop deception, shenanigans, empty promises and outright lies which began unabated on "day one" of their winning in 2012.

Cut and gerrymander as they may. Cutting boundaries don't change the facts. Too many people are unemployed, suffering more than they ever imagined possible, and see no plausible reason to place further trust in the PLP.

Bahamians have come to the conclusion "Dis ey makin no sense". And THAT spells catastrophic doom for the PLP!

The PLP did to the FNM by renaming Montagu what Ingraham did to Perry when he renamed Centreville back in 2002 .......... take your pick Freetown for Farm Road ........ smdh

Christie and the PLP are getting desperate now. They will very soon be gone. The people have had enough.

Jack, they blame the billy goat because nature changes. The plp is a lost ship. They will be ploughed under the ground. Colour doesn't matter - it is only a convenient and cheap excuse upon which to be the reason for their own wrong doings.
