My friends, the end is near!

The abomination of desolations?? Is this it?

Don't be dramatic.

Unfortunate, but we have politicians whom did not listen to and respect our vote to blame for this slap in the face. I do not support this . You cannot buy me with no amount of money because I have self respect. I would rather eat bread and live in a hut( with AC) , than take money from apparent , ill gotten gains.

This is a disaster waiting to happen, if he goes through with it. SMH

And the rot sets in deeper on the political level.

Everyone saw this coming. Politics is all about lining pockets. Too bad there a few good ones & many who should not be there. Now if only drugs can be regulated, then maybe 90 can run too.

Political Consultant's fees for political and business priorities are mounting, and we the Bahamians have to pay for it. Also, them Christmas Hams and Turkeys have to be paid for with Bahamian interest rates! Let the Bahamian multi billionaires commence at the expense of us bruised, battered, grade "F" Citizens. Those too smart and refuse to spin, have to be bought into the "FOLD" somehow!!

gangsta's paradise

Oh Jesus

Was it not inevitable?
Money is never enough.
Like cocaine, very much like cocaine, money goes to one's head and distorts everything.
People become insatiable.
If there is nothing that is more apparent in this world at the present time, isn't it that WE should never, ever elect rich people to office.
Please, tell me when electing rich people to office has ever worked out for the Common People?
How can they represent people who are struggling when their biggest decision of the day is what kind of helicopter to fly to their party?
Let's get real.

The US is dealing with this same level of corruption from a 6 times bankrupt casino owner trump .... it will not benefit the Bahamas in any way. This fella should be satisfied that he has already bought off a number of current politicians ... greed is intoxicating

The 'underground' Numbers Operations, may have grown to be far bigger than before legalizing 'only' the 'top 5' numbersmans'. -- The underground Haitian operators alone are said to be far bigger than Sebas Bastian was during his prime underground days. -- Yes?

H. E. Sebastian Bastian with his helicopter, billionaire status, business sense would seems obviously to all to want all the Constituencies in the Bahamas to park his helicopter in their Constituency, and have a well run efficient job as he has constantly done.

In having H.E. Sebastian Bastian as owner of numbers of rwide ranging variety of businesses, existing office spaces and the vast knowledge and business knowledge to want to be a 'second fiddle' to anyone, ----- would be a massive and obvious under utilized professional in achieving his aims of development of his Bahamaland. Already, in the short time of his emergenge as a notable Bahamian, H.E. Sebastian Bastian seems to have accumulated experience in a vast numbers of critical areas than probably than efficiencies or lack present and run in almost the government ministries.

If H.E. Sebastian Bastian wants to be a MP, it would being a sweetheart of the nation to start his own Political Party, being his own boss and with his business sense to move the Commonwealth of the Bahamas ahead with widest possible prospects.

p.s. I already have a friend who knows a spot in another Constituency which could have a helicopter landing spot.

This person is the Bahamian equivalent of Donald Trump. It makes sense that he is making his entrance into the political arena at this time. My prediction is that he will become the Prime Minister of this country. Morality, ethics and integrity are no longer criteria, as if they ever were important, that our leaders need to have.

He has had time to see the blueprint of how to get the top post in politics . I hope the Almighty helps us.

We have Perry Vomit Christie, Slo Mo Sears, and our Jack-Arse PM Davis to thank for this slime ball thug now wanting to take control of the PLP party using the ill-gotten riches from his criminal empire that should have long ago been taxed out of business and replaced with a national lottery. Instead, many honest and hardworking Bahamians have been taxed out of business. And to think our puppet PM and tooty-fruity Fwreddy Boy are having to lick this scum-bag's dirty arse while giving him whatever he wants. Makes one shudder at the very thought of what's to come!

All true.
Sad, but true.
And yes,think about the hundreds of millions of dollars the web shops bring in annually. That should all have been the People's money. Would we have to rely on philanthropists to get things done? This country could have been in a much, much better financial situation had we established a national lottery.
We could have agreed to pay Sebas to run this lottery for us, and give him 5 million dollars a year.
For that, he would stay out of jail.
Remember now, prior to the web shops being legal, they were illegal.
Why doesn't this bother anyone?
Why doesn't it seem to bother anyone that we handed away billions in dollars that is now being used to buy a political party, or two.

The 'other' Excellency: - HER EXCELLENCY LESLIA MILLER-BRICE, **MP** -- Yes?

After he wins in Fort Charlotte, Davis makes him a Cabinet Minister, then he runs for PM in the following Elections.

Good comment Whatsup.

Question is which CABINET MINISTER portfolio or selection of alternatives CABINET MINISTER portfolios do you think H.E. Sebastian Bastian would be best suited to be selected ???

Minister of finance of course. They could create a new ministry of illegal gaming

Comrade SABAS 100% - (SOBC) 0. -- Says lots about the stance of the Save Our Bahamas Committee (SOBC) - the group that opposed the 2013 gambling referendum. -- Comrades, that was 12 years back in time and like -- how many election moons ago....not talk, how many changes of governments and House-seated MPs'? -- Of which, Comrade SABAS, has as his ambition, set upon. --- Ask, WHY would he, even bother -- Yes?

This doesn't surprise me. He's clawed his way to the top of the business world on the backs of Bahamians too foolish to know better and he's lined the pockets of the politicians who enable him to have this kind of say.

Let me guess. They're going to amend the law to allow a game house owner to be in Cabinet because there is no way he's not going to settle for just being a regular old MP.

And there you have it folks... corruption at its finest. After all, money still talks and the other stuff just walks.

Well, yes, Comrade SEBAS is generally accurate. -- Provided he hasn't been sentenced to Death and he meets the few other **constitutional and legal requirements, can run for and provided the majority of voters decide that he be House-seated. -- Yes?

Thank you PLP ........ For giving us the 3 Nation for Sale PMs

Pindling with drugs & Haitians

Christie with Bahamar & numbers Mafia

And Davis with FTX, carbon credits, Pike & now Sebas

Bahamians are not fools, they won't vote for this obscene PLP brand

So true

This guy is a criminal that was made legit by a government full of crooks, instead of sitting small and enjoying what he got away with, he wants more. Well I guess government is where criminals thrive, however this one could create quite a mess seeing as he has shown outright disregard for the law to build his empire, he'd gamble with the well being of the country the same way.

Astonishing what criminal political cronies are able to do and get away with.

Absolutely NO!

ALTERNATING GOVERNMENTS have for decades been voted in on their mandates to do better and to correct issues and given massive majority in control by the people and for the people.

Most Bahamian political parties have been voted in with huge majority of seats for numbers of times repeatedly.
