This fight represents one of the major problems of the country-affirmed by the "rules" cited to fire the minister. Rabid partisanship. Party politics over country. Continue on Mr. Chipman. You have no need to resign.

OMG, everyday there is new nonsense. They already fired them, what more do they want? Just a day ago the "die-hard" FNMs here were saying they went against protocol and they should be fired. Okay, so when does it end? This is why I'm NOT a 'die-hard' anything. I vote for the person representing me (sometimes FNM, sometimes not).<br/>
This is utter NONSENSE!

True that!

The country regrets choosing Hubert Minnis

The "country" didn't really choose him- the FNM did. We got him by default.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Chipman regrets choosing the FNM!

He's been an FNM for a long time. I am sure he is disappointed in the party.

Because he sacrificed making more in the private sector to advance the country and its not working out!

Minnis has serious debilitating mental limitations that make him very insecure within his own skin. Consequently, he much too easily feels very threatened when not afforded undying loyalty. And this is the principal reason he will now do any and every thing that he can to try snuff out the political lives of the four FNM MPs that stood by the interests of their constituents and the vast majority of voters throughout the country on a most significant matter, i.e. the most outrageous and not well thought through surprise 60% increase in VAT from 7.5% to 12%.

Well_mudda I believe it was you who said the FNM will now make the political life of these gentlemen miserable - good prediction. I didn't realize how petty the FNM could be. I am very disappointed.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. . . yinna know that yall talking nonsense. . .none of those men talked with their constituency associations. . .their CA is their party WHIP in their areas. . .no MP can do such nonsense as they did and expect the waters to remain calm!! Everyone of you know that those young men decided to "fly by mesef". . .they killed their political future in the style of Andrea Rollins. . .TOO HURRY FOR POWER.

Now, that all the outdoor toilets have been removed, give them Perry back.

Sadly, if the dimwitted Minnis survives another four years as PM, most Bahamians by then will have naturally succumbed to remembering Perry as being an almost angelic leader by comparison. Minnis as PM can only behave like a fish out of water.....gasping for air, flapping about everywhere and not knowing what to do!

If an 80 year old Perry the best we can do- we are doomed!

He is sure "outwitting" the DNA and PLP. . .now if ya ask me. . .if he is dimwitted. . .that make both parties "dimmerwitted". . .because he sure make azzes out of all yinna politicians so!! He is now heading to be seen internationally as the most honest, non-political and progressive PM the Bahamas has ever had. Me personally I am waiting to see the reality of FOA and MP recall legislation and he would have made if there in my mind. Self-interested politician retards like you will never be able to turn back the hands of time. Non-political politicians are good for change. . .but when they become "soiled dolls" dishonest politicians like you portray. . .corruption is the order of the day! When doc "get smart" as a politician. . .he too must go. . .

The Free National Movement’s Centreville Constituency Association is being STUPID, and like many of their 'senior" MP's, very arrogantly short-sighted.

"“There is a disconnect between Mr Chipman and the association. He feels he could make decisions without informing us. Right now, we can’t support anybody we have such a disconnect with and who makes decisions for personal reasons.” Now THAT is rich!

Oh blind fools and deaf. . .now that the information coming out shows that your hero is no hero but a "self-interested spoil doll" politicians that led ya politically naive hip down his "garden path" you want to row out everybody who don't go along with you and ya bouy!! Them fellas seem soft and spoiled men who want the "big job" or "he will not play with yinna". . .

Query.....so if there.... IS..... a FNM Constituency Association of Centerville that the FNM MP Representative must consult with before voting in Parliament.....
.....shouldnt there also be a PLP Constitutiemcy Association for Centerville ???
......And....if there isnt one..what happens to the voices...needs...concerns of the known PLP constituents ???....or that of any other non FNM constituents in the Constituency..???.
Apart fron the FNM Constituency Association isnt there a Centerville Constituency Office paid for by the taxpayers.???.....so is the Constituency Association above the Constituency Office ???

You are right on most. . .there are both CA for the area. . .ALWAYS. . .they are the Board of the constituency. . .the CA President is the Chairman for the party in that area!! The Association is the party's hand in the constituency. . .NOT THE MP. . .they run the constituency and invite the minister in when they need him. Counsel Rep is the person who runs between the party HQ and the CA! The minister is nothing in them areas. . .he don't even win no election in them areas. . .CA win elections for ministers/MPs.

These constituency associations just need to go away, they acting like they own somebody. I'm 100% confident that their members were but a small fraction of the people who voted for Chipman, this was PLP country for 40 years, Remember they was only mad at Perry now they mad at you.

Wrong again. . . they are the whip for the party in the area. . .rally up the people and even those who are PLP and swing voters. . . MPs do very little to get themselves elected. . .CA and party campaigns do the trick for them. . .some of them don't live or hang out in those areas. . .the CA members all do!! PGC had one of the best and strongest CA in this nation for a very long time!

What seems to have emerged ...is that there is the interest of the political party to be served absolutely....and....the interest of the constituents voters. latter..without whom one would not be absolutely elected
Who do the constituents voters elect ........party or person..??
Do voters vote person out or vote a party out instead ??.

Parties are elected. . .CA pick candidates. . .CA do the work and get their man elected. . .they are funded, do the work for him and run his campaign. . .then get him elected! He/she is only the "face" of the CA . . . then they go on their own and doing fool. . .without his/her war council. . .that man is out of order!!

These are the same people who caused all the out houses to disappear from the consistency in less than 360 days. They're spot on. Chipman needs to go. It was the association that won this seat. We just need to determine which member is gonna be the MP.

Lol, I'd like to see the force a by election in Farm Road. Lol. Actually it might be a good thing to bring them back to the reality on the ground. People are not pleased with the FNM right now

MPs who ride a party "wagon" to election victory and then refused to "tow" party rules and regulations do not seem to be a moral hero. . .that is a political parasite. . .they are lost. . .well except Travis I think. . .but if he go into the PLP. . .it is over for him. . .they eat their young over there!!!
