I've always had zero respect for Carl Culmer and his admissions here only serve to prove why.

Had Carl been much more concerned about the Bahamian people and much less concerned about keeping the FNM party in power under the prime ministership of tyrant Minnis for as long as possible, tyrant Minnis might have been forced to call an election much sooner than he did, thereby ending much earlier his most wicked and evil authoritarian rule over us.

Carl Culmer did a great disservice to all Bahamians by choosing not to speak out back then on the matters he now chooses to speak about in order to curry as much political favour as possible with Pintard. It is a sad reality that the more senior lodge brothers in our political system are always much too loathe to speak out against a fellow senior lodge brother even when doing so is in the much greater interest of the Bahamian people at large.

CARL Culmer should refrain from speaking because there was a lot of "worse" in the former Minnis-led FNM Administration. It is disingenuous to paint a picture as if Minnis was the only "worse" aspect of that failed administration.

Carl Culmer calls himself an accomplished "leader" in many social circles ........... but how can he as FNM Chairman be so docile and reactive in his capacity, while looking for excuses not to rein in one executive member of the organization???????????

This expose clearly explains why Bahamian (political) organizations are so dysfunctional because they do not understand how LEADERSHIP functions ............ one person (regardless of the title) has NO right to hold an organization hostage in a democratic society. There are four major types of male leaders and it is hard to pinpoint where Culmer falls.

Culmer as FNM Chairman had every right to confront Minnis and settle these matters INTERNALLY. Instead, he waited 5-7 years later to come to the media with his sad story about why he could not function (effectively) as Chairman in the FNM ............... He was a weak leader.

So, if Culmer is supporting Pintard now, both have failed as senior FNM executives in the past Minnis-led FNM organization. This is really a sad revelation to read.

Actually **Culmer spoke out long ago.** People just forget. when asked what type of candidates the FNM was looking for for the leadership race (post-Minnis, pre-Pintard) Culmer provided a list of wholesome qualities, then as if a light bulb went on he added "*and we dont need no petty connivin people*", was very clear who he was referring to

Wasn't as clear to most people. He should have been man enough to say this clearly during the pandemic.....otherwise, go sit down quietly.

Comrade Carl Culmer **was and remains aware** of the **Internal "available" Post-General Election Report** that concluded that had the RedShirts' Movement, **not rung** the 2021 General Election bell, **the loss,** could have been **even worse** than the **32 House-seats** which they failed at winning.--Yes?

Yes indeed but all of you are just like him and this includes the other Hubert

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz......

I think the criticism leveled at Culmer is rooted is bias. I think he explained what he went through
lucidly and it was obviously done to try and project an atmosphere of party unity. Having not done so would have only made matters worse for the FNM. The article did its purpose to show
the type of person that Minnis became when he got more powerful. We all know of many instances when Minnis believed he needed nobody besides someone who would tell him how great he was. Just how Culmer spoke of when he knew of the early election call,a cabinet minister at the time told Minnis that he heard that a lockdown would soon be inforced,to which he responded in denial,but two hours later he was on ZNS announcing an immediate country wide lockdown.

Tyrant Minnis long ago cooked his own goose and hopefully the good people of Killarney will put the final nail in his coffin come the next general election. Carl's revelations to the public are therefore much too late with no apparent purpose other than to endear himself to Pintard. The equivalent of a non-public confessional would have been a better place for him to get these now very "old" matters off of his chest.

Are Long Island RedShirts' **abbreviated nationalists'** playbook, not feeling **deflated** to outplay the Pintard camp of 1 June. -- Yes?

Long Island will remain FNM ............. doesn't matter who is running the party. The PLP will continue to use its political machinery to harass the MP.
The island will continue to find means and ways to survive and thrive.

The PLP is serving absolutely NO purpose to the island ........ except to provide the PEPs with jobs, contracts and slackness.

Just another day in Paradise .................... SOS

@Sheepunner12, Irrespective, when people from all parts of the globe, ask Google **"Who"** is the Member seated in the House of Assembly for Long Island - what will it say **sounds be attention grabber** about the honourable Member. -- Yes?

Doc Minnis and Mr culmer one and the same did the Fnm headquarters have a break in or not was barry major Fnm Or not

I could not vote for Dictator minnis after the lockdowns. He was a doctor and knew we needed vitamin D during the pandemic. minnis closed Churches, Schools, small businesses, beaches, playgrounds and told us to stay inside or our neighbors should report us. He came on tv every night like he was God {with his wet, slimy lips} telling us what we could and could not do whle he was raking in the money from CDC. He knew there was no need to be extreme like he was, but he thought he was
God....he still does. Him and his stupid face masks and distancing, for what? GREED AND POWER

I am so glad (for ppl like you) that HAM will not be the excuse for the FNM in 2026 ....... But HAI & Pintard will do a good job in bringing the base out. The New Day PLP should not be hard to beat after Simon's meltdown
