This dude clearly is not what this country needs for leadership. He has got to go.

If public financing, as he claims, is needed for campaign finance reform, then why was he so bullish about it as opposition leader?

2026 cannot come soon enough

Yes, politicians are disgusting , and they keep playing games. Use your own finance to get voted in. It will level the playing field and stump out corruption . People go in worth 75,000 and come out worth 5,000,000. We , the people, suffer with expensive everything wiñl these clowns get the kings service.

Politics in itself creates corruption. To get elected individuals have to dole out ten's of thousands in the community as well as ten's of thousands to the party. So after spending a couple of hundred thousand dollars just to get elected then you will want to see that money back in your account as quickly as possible. Then after 2 years the party starts hitting the candidate up for more money if they hope to get nominated again so they spend the next 3 years slurping up cash in the hopes of getting re-nominated.
The system was created by man (hence evil) and now the system demands people to be evil in order to join.

Name one corrupt political leader who is in favour of campaign finance reform and an effective freedom of information act! He's really flying his true colours now when it comes to protecting his own crookedness!!

Couldn't have said it better!

What a despicable lying clown

The premiership's decision **not honour** his party's **put in writing** pledge, -- If elected as government, -- The party **would use** its governing power **to enact** regulating campaign finance.--- Is himself -- **Now fraught with** 'trust difficulties'. -- Yes?

I wish some wealthy, successful businessmen who actually know how to run something, and not just want to go into politics for greed and money, would put themselves up for an elected office.

@ComradeWhatsUp, we didn't have this much of a problem -- When foreigners were allowed to run for House seats. -- Would be a smart promotion launch --- Offering **39** chances to **WIN** House Seat Tourism campaign.. --Yes?

You m3an like a Donald Trump.

Nope....a Bahamian who loves his country more than money

They went the way of the Arawaks.

So basically, it's Storytime. -- 'Your team' -- Make up a story and then you lie to voters' -- Throughout the duration of the 2021 National Election. -- Yes?

Mr.Davis has gotten it wrong. No one is talking about public financing of political campaigns.What people are asking for is the disclosure of the financiers of these parties. The public wants to kow who is donating to the political parties here. That should be as matter of public policy.

Some of the local ones we already know quite well: The Symonette Family, Snake, King Sebas, The Greek, and other insatiably greedy vultures like them. But the really big ones are all foreign, including state actors like the ChiComs, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, etc.

**Meantime over at Mackey Street Headquarters;** -- **They,** — 'namely, the UBP wing'
like much the general idea of, — namely, the toxic House-seated member for the constituency of Long Island -- As they march onward, forward, united, toward -- 'Standing', -- Come National Election. - Can't make this up. -- Yes?

The real question should be, "What is the real public cost of not having campaign financing reform?"
Perhaps we all know too well that the country goes to those who donate the most to the PLP.
Wonder why Nygard has not been charged here?
Do you really need an answer?
The PLP knows that if the national IQ goes above 80, they are in for some real trouble.

Where is the Pea? ...Under which Shell??
The Politically Elite will play "The Shell Game" till their called by God.
Believing & Keeping the populous as dumb & ignorant by Political Shenanigans & Poor Education, has no effect on OUR INTELLIGENCE!. We know right, wrong and we know better.

Part of the problem is the people. And the majority of the people. It appears that people actually believe that if they campaign for an individual they're entitled to something that equates to a monetary reward. A good job that they're completely unqualified for, crown land that they have no plan or resources to develop or some diplomatic post with their only intention to eat lobster and drink wine.

On the other side, there are the criminals with mega money who buy politicians and get to sit next to the PM at public events.

Somewhere in the mix is the independent who isnt suited for politics either, has no real plan, really just wants a regular salary, and campaigns on not being on either side and being poor.

Shenandon Cartwrights statement in the house in response to allegations of misuse of lands and parks funds for undeserved contract awards, ~"*come on guys, everybody does it*", is truly frightening. What will he do should he become DPM?

Last is the mega donor who doles out millions like candy to buy the right to own the govt. 62 Chinese nationals with no passport? No problem, call the DPM.

We are in a giant mess.
