172,000 out of 350,000? Not good numbers when only half the population is eligible to vote.

Because we have 100,000 illegals or "others" living here

Oh boy, someone is preparing to lose a cabinet post. #cantwait

Comrades! Upon refection over the past 5 years, Fox Hill's MP Freddy will be entering the 2017 General Election as the only current cabinet minster with broad cross political parties support.
Too bad for constituents that a candidate can only run for one political party in any election to the House as a MP.

Reflection over too many glasses of whisky is unreliable! Fred Mitchell personifies the immaturity of The Bahamas as a sovereign Nation.

Comrade Honestman, unless something dramatic occurs prior to the PM runging of the 2017 General Election bell, a new poll indicates that the really hard-core group of voters who will make up about 37.02% per cent of all registered voters, are of the mindset to mark their X's for the various PLP. candidates.

And polls were really reliable in the case of BREXIT and the more recent US elections weren't they? In all my years of living in The Bahamas, I have never known a more unpopular Prime Minister and government. I can't find anyone who has a good word to say about them but then I don't travel to Fox Hill very often.Mitchell is probably in safe territory in that blinded constituency.

Tal has a mental handicap when it comes to arithmetic. He/she/it makes up numbers. Remember the wildly popular Rawson Square March, and Tal said that there were exactly 437 marchers -- an invented number that was an order of magnitude or more inaccurate. Tal - the .02 was an incredibly nice touch. It is the exact fraction of a decent person that Fred Mitchell is. Have you read the Wikileaks about what the Americans have to say about Fweddy? Or the Chinese intelligence agencies for that matter when he went to China to visit our Ambassador, Phillip Miller, who is a bird of a feather. I am told that it was a culinary feast, they particularly enjoyed authentic dishes like Sum Yung Guy.

Search Mitchell on this site or Guardian. He is well spoken( unlike our vocally crippled and challenged PM) but his record is horrid. Especially on issues of free speech.

Hope Minnis is taking hints. The window is quickly closing for elections to be called. One print shop is burning the midnight oil printing political posters and paraphanila. So apparently when Christie does ring the bell all of his party's battle gear, including money bearing t-shirts will be ready.

> The next election must be called on or before May 9.

Not correct.

True ............ Perry has until July- August (if he so chooses) ........ people need to know what is in the law .......... Pindling used the "delay tactic" many times!!!!!!!!!

Can't happen till after the euphoria of the relays and carnival

THE HOA MUST BE DISSOLVED BY MAY 2ND. . . HE CAN MAKE THE BIG FIGHT IN AUGUST. . .BUT IF HE DOES. . .HE WILL SHOW US THAT HE KNOWS WHAT WE GAT FER HE BACKSIDE. LOL! Either way. . .may 2nd we are done with his bucha poor politicians. . .how long after that he wait for that bust him we ger gee him. . .let him wait!!

Re-post: For Brave Davis to confess that the Bahamian government was aware early on of the human rights abuses by the Red China government occurring on Bahamian soil but did nothing about it is tantamount to an admission that these abuses were sanctioned by the Bahamian government and, worse still, in the eyes of the world, the Bahamian people. The crimes committed here go well beyond the human rights abuses many claim the incarcerated at Fox Hill prison are subjected to. The CCA employees were foreign nationals on our soil who were effectively enslaved by their employer (CCA) with the knowledge and consent of the Bahamian government as a result of CCA taking custody and withholding their travel documents (passports) and work permits. This is unconscionable and violates numerous international accords on human rights abuses to which the Bahamas is a party. But true to form we do not hear a peep from **Fred Mitchell, as Minister of Foreign Affairs,** or Perry Christie, as Prime Minister, about the reasons why the Bahamas government allowed itself, by its own inaction, to play a duplicitous role in foreign nationals on Bahamian soil being subjected to abject conditions of forced labour that meet the very definitions of human bondage and slavery. And to think our DPM, Brave Davis, has effectively confirmed that these same human rights abuses are likely still going on in our country today with respect to CCA's employees engaged at the Baha Mar and The Pointe construction sites. This is truly unfathomable as we have here proof of Bahamian government officials confessing to having knowledge of, and participation (by omission of necessary action) in internationally recognized crimes of the highest order against foreign nations. Perry Christie and **Fred Mitchell** truly belong you know where for having effectively sanctioned these atrocities!

Very well put. These gangsters MUST go!

If the PLP and people like Fred Mitchel are the best The Bahamas has to offer, God help this country.
I have never witnessed such a shabby group of individuals, dressed up as respectable people, with their heads up their butts.
Mitchel alone is enough to make one wonder what this world is coming to.
an it really get any worse.
Sadly, it seems, yes.

Mitchel says thank you; Perry and I say Fook you.
