What a total narcissist Bran is. He has to get over himself, he cant win one seat on his own yet feels he can demand. What a joke

The CIA hack is going to reveal what what the CIA was doing to young, black kids in America and around the Caribbean. Giving them chemicals to turn them into super predators where they go out and kill up one another without remorse and without guilt. Now the country will know why the murder rate is so high and cannot be controlled. Yet Greenslade still have policemen some high on the same rope they locking up young men for, and others half drunk, judgment impaired, harassing and imtimtating young men, verbally and physically abusing them and pushing them further off the edge. It was dispicable how they carried on when they pulled up on this young man recently. The officer was using language his mother taught him because he kept calling her name, "mother " and saying what she was doing when he was being made. He threatened to 'tear off' the young man's head and stomp him into the ground. Even after the young man who was standing at a lunch window told the goon officer he was only 15, the officer continued with his verbal abuse and threats while a bus load of other officers looked on. Greenslade if you think this is proper policing and a way to treat our young men then I challenge you to take your goon squad down town, on Bay Street and let them do two male tourists the way these officers did this young man and what they do to many others each day. Sir Lyndon Pindling is the father of the modern Bahamas. He was credited with helping free Nelson Mandela and the eventual liberation of blacks in South Africa. Yet in 2017 this country has a police force that are denying young men freedom of movement and even the right to commute back and forth to worked without being searched and harassed and intimidated by officers who are armed to the 'T' and prepared to shoot on the drop of a hat. From Bernard Nottage needs to go do some research and find out what is happening with these young men. Bring in the experts, get them rehabilitated and help them find jobs and become productive citizens again. Your Pre-Mandela, South African tactics are not working.

Utter rubbish. You're beginning to sound like that idiot TalRussell.

First of all, your post has nothing to do with the above mentioned story. Maybe it was intended for some other headline. Second of all, we're all tired of you playing the "race card" and the "blame game" when it comes to national issues, especially crime. This is the Bahamas, not America. So we couldn't care less about America's issues and what the CIA is doing.... and even if we did.... we couldn't do anything about it because we're just a small country living next door to a global super power.

Crime is high in the Bahamas because of poor parenting. Period!
Bahamians need to take responsibility for their own actions and inactions. We have taken God out of our homes, out of our lives, and out of the lives of our children. Women and men in our country continue to have intercourse out of wedlock and breed children they are not financially and morally able to support. The result is young criminals, as well as other social ills.

"and blamed the former Bamboo Town MP for enabling the Progressive Liberal Party to win the 2012 general election, “causing pain and suffering” over the last five years." So a party that did not win any seats is responsible for the pain and suffering in our nation? How Minnis figure that? And if they are, as he proclaims, "the party of choice" why was he even meeting with McCartney? Go ahead and let the people choose.

they split the vote... that is assuming those that voted for the DNA would have supported the FNM. I wouldn't blame them for that loss, but if you examine the numbers and votes by constituencies it was the PLP base, which is now a minority in the country, that won the PLP that election. It will be that same base that will win the PLP the 2017 election as well with a once again divided opposition.

And the overwhelming final ranking of who to vote for from an independent polling of more than 20,000 registered voters throughout the Bahamas is as follows:

Number 1: Any independent candidate of generally well known good character.

Number 2: The DNA candidate, but only if he or she is of generally well known good character.

Number 3: The PLP candidate, but only if there is no number 1 or 2 above and you must reluctantly accept that the devil you know is better than the devil you know nothing about.

Number 4: The FNM candidate, but only if there is no number 1, 2 or 3 above and you feel compelled to exercise your most important constitutional right, i.e. the right to vote.

Number 5: Spoil your ballot or not vote at all if you believe all is lost and exercising your
constitutional right will accomplish absolutely nothing!

I am more than curious to know the identity of the polling organisation.

Ipsos.

Yep. I got a call from Independent Domain that prompted me to ask a friend if he knew whether these organizations were governed by any ethical standards. One question asked, ~"*should the government fire policemen or eliminate VAT*", and on and on the biased questioning continued. I don't know any ethical pollster who expects to get any real data with questions like that. Just because it's a "poll result" doesn't mean it's worth crap.

Now this is interesting. I heard several weeks ago from a prominent local attorney that the Chinese Export-Import Bank had commissioned the conduct of a study (scientific poll) to determine the likely outcome of the next general election. Apparently the poll was undertaken from within the U.S. (Atlanta or Jacksonville?) using the voting register from our 2012 general election and cost upwards of $500,000. The low voter registration until recently prevented use of the current register of voters. How did you learn about this?

You seem to know more than me....I didn't know CEXIMB were behind the secret poll. At least we can take comfort in one of its key findings, i.e. the odds of the Dimwitted Doc being our next PM are slim to none.

Mudda / Reality: You don't half come up with some nonsense at times. This might be YOUR voting strategy but I believe most voters will look at their choice and choose the candidate that has the best chance of defeating the PLP candidate.

Too vague to be considered a serious poll of any statistical value. How many of them are aligned or a part of a political party, what is their income level, level of education, age, sex, what areas do they live in, days in which the poll was captured, what was the specific polling question/s, what is the margin of error.

If these items were not taken into consideration then the poll isn't worth a damn.

Comrade Minnis, who called for the PM's resignation when all the PM demonstrated was a less polite finger gesturing physical way to tell the fella messing with his head - where to go. I thinks majority us thinks, both Bran and that other fella, deserved swift kicks to the rectums - before verbally sending them on their respective ways.
Amen!

Obscene he reverted back to his Bains town days. Did he give Bran the Finger? Symonette
Turn Coat on Butler Turner. Enriched his own Company and his Delivery Boy built a container port gave them a monopoly for twenty years. and he thinks he is a great white Knight comming to save the Poor Black Bahamian people.

The Rev believes that the FNM Party will cause Bahamians to fear God. No wonder they can not save any souls for Chriist.

Both Bran An Doc would love to be PM. If I had to choose and I hope I do not I would choose
Bran the lesser of the two evils.

Thanks birdie. . .Lol! We know what you think. . .you are saying opposite to it. . .as usual!! But I do believe you that both men would like to be PM sooooo badly. . . who cares. . .just so it is not a PLP as PM!

Bran has a different story. "Roc with Doc" can tell some Whoppers. It is so bad that he believes
his own lies. It seems to be in the FNM's DNA.

I never though I would see the day that a PLP talks to anybody about lying. . . now birdie that's rich. . .real rich! Lol!
