People get tired of the Political Rhetoric, promises that vanish, overall corruption, nepotism, waste of the limited resources, ineptitude.
Add to that potential Covid exposure, snap election, and a serious anti Minnis sentiment, and splinter groups bleeding off votes but still winning no seats,
you get a flip flop. Again.

Yup

The election turnout was very low for only one reason which the vast majority of us know only too well, but which The Tribune's editorial staff apparently prefer not be mentioned. It's certainly no secret to the international lending community. LMAO

Say what you mean with complete information. Assume we know nothing, even if it may be obvious to you.

I would happily do so but any reference to the close ties the PLP political elite have with Red China seem to now draw the wrath of The Tribune's editorial staff. Oh well, it's abundantly clear it's a New Day with a New Sheriff in town. LOL

"The official turnout figure, which will include those who participated in the process but spoiled their ballots, has yet to be released by the department.

Parliamentary Commissioner Lavado Duncanson could not say yesterday when the voter turnout information will be released. He said officials were currently processing that information."

Why? What takes them so long to tabulate ballots and provide basic information? The election was Thursday, it is now Monday.

The fact that Davis believes that people did not turn out to vote because of a so called snap election (which he was advocating for but now trying to distance himself from, always calling for Minnis to ring the bell) is symptomatic of the fact that he is not a leader, does not have hindsight, insight, or foresight, and does not wish to admit that the people did not want Minnis and they did not want Davis either.

You are quite correct. People just weren't interested in either of them. The fnms who didn't want doc couldn't stomach voting for bwave so they stayed home. We are in trouble when brave said one of the reasons for low voter turn was people didn't register. Please tell him that the low turn out was among registered voters

Maybe nobody wanted to serve jury duty during Covid...

Nothing escapes you....ROWL

I would like to see the official number as well. WHY NOT? It is not that I don't know how to obtain that data from the raw tabulations given! But it don't look good that they gave no total for votes cast or voters registered. . .but can give how many votes for each candidate!! What up with that?

But I must say. . .HOW CAN ANYONE OF YOU SAY HOW MR DAVIS WOULD BE AS PM WHEN HE HAS NEVER BEEN PM BEFORE?? My my my. . .here we go again. . .throwing nanny on the wall and hope some of it sticks!!

Just as I used to say when it was Doc's time in office. . .when we are not willing to be honest in our assessments of a political party does nothing to help our nation as we move forward!! As the world was watching when we "refused" to be honest in our assessments of PM Minnis. . .they are still watching if we fail to be honest in our assessments and criticisms of PM Davis!!

So again. . .I call on persons on this site to "act" like ya have some sense. . .the world still watching yinna!

Up until the early part of this year, Minnis had sufficient support to, at least get re-elected but with fewer seats. Then he started his game of musical chairs as to when the elections will called. He should have went on a campaign to get more young people registered instead. People started to grow wary of when the elections wou be called. Some tried to do a balancing act to ensure they would be here (Bahamas) and available to vote if the elections were called. In the main time the Covid pandemic raged. There were unprecedented numbers of cases and deaths. People were being urged to get vaccinated and to stay home as much as possible. And then Minnis called the Election. Some people had already decided they were not going to take the risk to go vote. Then the early voting came up and was described as mad chaos. No social distancing, long lines, and little in terms of safety measures to protect voters. Then the debate came up about persons in quarantine. The Meltdown Minister said the police would be patrolling the polls and will arrest anyone that is supposed to be in quarantine. And the narrative then changed as to whether these people were being disenfranchised and should be allowed to vote. Then at the ninth hour it was announced that these quarantine persons will be allowed to vote and would attend the polls as part of the general population. This alone caused many people not to show up. And that is why New Providence and Grand Bahama are tge most affected by tge low voter turnout

Don't forget the "games" they played with Public Servants about when, who and why they may or may not get their arears. . .one month. . ."yinna gettin the money the end er did month". . .to get no money at the end of the month! Again, " get ti straight, it coming the end of this month. . .again". . .sure to faith, the end of another month and no money in the bank!! By the third time the PS dem een had no more :stomach" for doc and his amature "schemers" trying to swing them to win votes. . .they basically decoded that they will "get rid of heem". . .
