if a stitch in time saves nine, by my estimate BEC has about 27 stitches to take. A little late Minnis, ship done sailed

Oh the PM offering sympathy?<br/>
Well that's good, cause I ready to have a **funeral service** for BPL and the FNM at the same time if they don't turn this garbage around!!!<br/><br/>
It's so ironic that the day the PM was there, was the day my power was out the most in **one day**. I thought you put on ya **best** when the head honchos come around????

Could have huge generators here in a day from Florida if they wanted.

Obviously it’s not enough of crisis to bother

The problem BPL is facing now in New Providence, Grand Bahama faced 10 years ago. Abaco faced the same issue before the new plant was built. What a lot of people really do not understand, is that the equipment at BPL in New Providence is extremely old. The new plant that is coming on stream will deal with all of those issues.

And what you really do not understand, moncurcool, is that the existing plant equipment did not become old over night and was well known to be old before our dimwitted and most incompetent Minnis became PM in May 2017. Stop making excuses for our PM's obvious ineptitude which, quite frankly, now constitutes nothing but gross negiigence on his part. Minnis was focused on all of the wrong things at the time he became PM. When he took office as PM he was obsessed with only one thing: conducting costly and time consuming investigagtion after investigation of the previous Christie-led PLP government. And so far nothing stolen by the previous government has been recovered and no one of any great importance to the ripping off of our country has gone to jail. Truth be told, Minnis is an abject failure as PM and has no knowledge at all about what it takes to properly govern a nation for the benefit of its people. The man is clueless on any given day as what direction he himself is headed - east? west? - so how can he possibly lead our nation in the right direction? God only knows how this man ever became a medical doctor. We would be better off as a nation if Minnis spent all of his time drinking tea with his wife and her friends on the public's dime.

“Minnis is an abject failure as PM and has no knowledge at all about what it takes to properly govern a nation for the benefit of its people. ”

Your assumption, that Minnis, or any other elected leader in the “free world” has any interest in governing “for the benefit of the people” is gravely flawed.
There is a pattern of governance found in the “free world”, it’s always the same, it’s not now, and never was for the people.

Once you come to terms with reality, it’s vastly easier to understand what’s going on

If you don’t agree, take on the challenge and tell us about a government “working for the people”.

You any most people have it all wrong. Governments are not incompetent, their goals are just different that what they say and what the populous expects.
Calling them incompetent is much better for them, than to be recognized for the corrupt group they are.

Consider the actions from the pre supposition that they are in fact completely corrupt, trying to enrich themselves and their cronies, and you will find them and their actions and rhetoric quite brilliant.

We did not get here in the last 2 years ,,its been 40 years of not being able to supply reliable energy at a reasonable cost .Minis and the FNM ordered 95 million dollars worth of new generators , the most ever spent , it takes time for them to be built ,get here ,and be installed .In the mean time you have certain union leaders and their henchmen that know their days r numbered if the FNM gets Shell in , burning and destroying equipment ..

I dare any of you above, if you think you can do a better job fixing our country to take a shot at leadership, run for office! It's pretty annoying to read every day how the government needs to do this or the government needs to do that and this one is incompetent or the next one is incompetent.

For God's sake people, you **can not** fix 40 years worth of neglect, abuse and corruption in 2 years! I don't care who is elected, putting the Bahamas on a path of success, **will not** be achieved in 2 or even 5 years. What makes it even harder is our mindset as a people. We would rather argue and degrade people if they do not represent our party colors instead of doing our part in contributing to our country's success. We are our own worst enemies, all we do is complain and criticize.

You don't have to be a leader to recognize one.

Ignorance is a bytch err bliss

The problem is that it’s a complete system. An outlier who is not in the system cannot get elected.
The whole team works together, big business and rich people as donors, media, political parties etc.
At best an outlier can become an independent, but we all know it takes more.
And even if a new party could get a majority, which could never happen, new style legislation could never get passed. Remember it’s hard to get rid of appointed and unelected senators.
Most importantly, one does not need to be an elected member to call a spade a spade.

The good news colony's populaces at-large is we beloved Comrade Queen, does not have sit around wait the one big power that the Guv'nah General has to be activated from atop Mount Fitzwilliam, yes, no ... the Queen can at any time bypass her Guv'nah General to fire the prime minister, or the entire governing crown ministers appointed cabinet Imperialists red shirts....even if only in limited circumstances can the Queen, constitutionally issue Her Majesty's royal pink slip or slips.... question is, does crisis at BPL, sufficiently fit constitutionally slam dung PM out PMO, yes, no .... If not, what about PM's pink shirt ....

Late again. What is his job exactly?

Comrade prime minister Minnis is reliving his childhood - except the Doc spends his days up in PMO where he sits he self in corner dreaming up all kinds weird imaginary stories in he head to then go downstairs practice his material on tourists roaming around in public square below - before traveling about colony spin his tales unsuspecting populaces out islanders, yes, no .... You can't just make this up how often american tourists will asks taxi drivers - why is your colony's PM, so Trump-like ....... Our colony's tourists are Minnis's, Fox News ....

We cannot expect to fix 40 years of corruption in 5 years. However, we do expect to have those PLP & FNM's responsible held accountable for destroying our country!

These people absconded with tons of the peoples' money and should be brought to justice just like anyone else.

The FNM running scared. Even the most die hard FNM supporters has had enough of BPL and its disruptive and costly blackouts. Businesses are suffering old people and young people are terrified and suffering. The sick and bedridden are miserable and getting bedsores and heatstroke. And if Minnis had taken the stand he’s taking now four or five months ago the situation will never gotten this bad. And so now it’s a life or death crisis situation for Minnis and the entire FNM government.
