Mr Mitchell to much too soon , take it easy or like some say take it light , try to win the next election people will turn against the PLP for very simple reasons,

Why should we go “Third World” by changing a System that we have benefited from both reputation and financial perspectives … indeed we should be actively seeking to strengthen ties with the UK, not distance ourselves.

It is time to accept that we are a truly microscopic country, smaller than most small towns in the US. We cannot afford all of these pointless appointments and silly ceremonies.

Mitchell: "Some day, some generation will have to fix this". Really? I'm sure there were similar sentiments expressed prior to independence. How has that worked out?

To remain colonial subjects --- Matters not --- Should we continue on the destructive path --- **Not-so-distant ancestor Billy Butlin colonization** --- Tourism — Designed to destroy --- out islanders economic lifeline. --- **its culture.** --- Yes?

Operate the system you have properly before you think about a different system of Governance.
A glaring example of failure to this point is the lack of accountability in the elected and the general population. Laws not observed, new laws written to remain unobserved, basic government responsibilities neglected with overstep into all sorts of frivolous wastes of treasury funds.

Mitchell is aware that he will never be the Prime Minister despite pining for that office for years.

I guess he feels that should the Bahamas become a Republic the Presidency is still within his reach.

We have a proven form of government. Republics have proven to be failures everywhere. Say no to a politician's republic. Let us stay close to our friends. There are far more important issues to deal with than changing our form of government.

It seems as if he should not have gone on that trip according to his views ,why did he go

lol Meg.

Yet Mr. Mitchell is the first to go running to any UK event. Such hypocrisy, as usual.

Let me guess, he would be happy to be that Bahamian head of state...

First thought was flying Fred didn't get to go.

The irony in his statement is that the main reason no one feels we should leave is because we don't trust PLP with forever. You see it with Freeport's choice of the Port over gov't despite needing ownership since the inheritors don't stick to the contract. Especially if your pick is Pindling ..(who's also had her say about y'all).

Secondly, wouldn't there still be privy? Privy is more so the problem because we need crime control more than anything.

That's Meghan wielding influence over Jamaica.

Let's see what we can work with from Charles before throwing it out. He's different and so is his ability since Brexit.

Denmark?

'When a European leader is the embodiment of the state of dispersed Africans on the far-flung islands in the Caribbean'. Well, Disney just joined Charles. What works for them.

How is that going to improve the constitution?

They're 50 this year too! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xd3tW2IQ…

There is so much familiarity in amongst the Commonwealth to be recognized which explains the stark distinction from our eastern and southern neighbors. We should really forge more connections to those states with the heritage in place of American influence.

Fred is 💯 right. Charles should be the last king of our country.

What he didn't say was the need for us to BURN this present Constitution like he did back in the day under the silk cotton tree and gave the ashes to SLOP.

We need an elected President who will oversee a unitary Parliament with an elected MP from each island (31) and an elected Prime Minister, who can only have a 12 person Cabinet to run the Central Government, and mayors to run each island with proper Local Government.

Not this democratic facade that we have now where the appointed PM is King & one man Government.

But William is already shaping up to be a tremendous option. I think even his development portfolio already surpasses the port authority kids'. Too bad the Wales role doesn't require a term as The Commonwealth Secretary-General.

Don't elect the prime minister separately.

WHy should New Providence only have 1 MP for almost 300,000 people, and smaller islands with less then 500 people have an MP? Divide the population by 31 and allocate the MPs based on that, if you have to have a number of islands put together then so be it.

Ah hah ....... That is true democracy. NP should be treated as an equal, just like every other island.

NP local government divided into 5 districts, (East, West, North, South & Central) with 5 mayor's will deepen democracy on NP.

Let our House of Assembly be based on population like it is. Reform the Senate with a little more power and make the Senate a elected body where each major island group gets 1 Senator sort of like the US Senate has 2 Senators for each state. One house based on population and the other more land based. This will would do more good than any other reform at this time.

Jamaica is ready. They have an army. Their public doesn't even know the Queen was head of state. So there you have it.

Why exactly would there need to be a head of state besides the president? Mainly due to constitutional reference? If we were capable, we would be able to write a constitution without it

You can run a constitution but can you write one? Don't forget that's for today's world not a colonial imitation, and for whatever future we can possibly imagine.

Fwreddy Boy Mitchell is one sick ............... !!!

Maybe you should change your language too, dispersed Africans using English should be wrong too right? You can attack the past all you want but it's not going to change what happened.
