The possible candidate seems quite obvious to use his abilities and zest to BEST serve our beloved Bahamaland.

There are a number of New Providence constituencies who would be happy to have him regardless which political party chooses to have him.

Now I understand why the tribune is so protective of the plp and quickly remove articles that have negative comments about the plp

his grand father sir Etien Dupuch will be so proud of him We use to kneel at the same altar at st Francis

LMAO

> Historic Political Tremor

***Dupuch-Carron’s Potential PLP Candidacy Rivals Ingraham's FNM Defection***

A Dupuch running on a PLP ticket marks a seismic rupture in Bahamian political tradition—one that reverberates beyond MICAL and echoes through the corridors of power. From Sir Etienne Dupuch’s trailblazing anti-discrimination motion to the family's staunch affiliations with the UBP and later the FNM, the Dupuch legacy has long stood apart from PLP orthodoxy. Now, with Robert Dupuch-Carron entertaining candidacy under the very banner his lineage once stood against, the moment is being likened to the most significant political realignment since Hubert Ingraham’s defection from the PLP to the FNM.

PLP Chairman Fred Mitchell and senior FNM officials have chosen silence—an eloquent indicator of just how delicate, and potentially transformative, this development may be.

If even traditional FNM-aligned families are now weighing the PLP as a viable vehicle for representation and delivery, the message from voters is unmistakable: performance now outweighs pedigree. Across MICAL and the southern Bahamas, the call is for real, measurable progress—improved infrastructure, reliable emergency services, and long-term development strategies. To remain competitive, the FNM must do more than reference its legacy; it must reconnect with neglected communities, field candidates rooted in both place and purpose, and present a governing vision built not on nostalgia but on delivery.

If not, this political “earthquake” will not be a momentary tremor—but the first rupture in a generational shift that redraws the Bahamian political map at the FNM’s expense.

***"Torch Out”***

-
***When lifelong supporters begin to say “the torch is out,” it is more than a slogan—it is a verdict. The FNM’s symbol, once seen as a bright beacon of hope, reform, and forward motion, now risks becoming an emblem of unmet expectations and broken promises. For many stalwarts—myself included—this is not mere disappointment. It is a reckoning.
The torch once lit the path to a better Bahamas. But today, amid silence, stagnation, and missed opportunities, that flame flickers dangerously close to extinguishment. If the FNM has any intention of reigniting that fire, it must re-engage the Bahamian people with clarity, courage, and competence—starting in the very communities now drifting away.
Until then, “Torch Out” will echo not as a whisper, but as a declaration—the people have moved on, and they are not waiting in the dark.***

I'm surprised at this. I wouldn't think that anyone with Robert's smarts and general intelligence and common sense would consider teaming up with the PLP and risk going down with the ship one day when all of their disgustingness finally sees the light of day.

To be even loosely associated with the PLP is a horrible thought. If he wants to leave a legacy for God's sake make it a good one - free of the fog of corruption.

Robert, please picture yourself on stage with Sebas (potentially) and having to show a united front with him by your side. He don't like your kind!! YIKES!!!!!

I hear you Sickened—loud and clear. The very idea of Robert aligning with the PLP certainly raises eyebrows, especially for those who view the party as having long exhausted its moral and political credibility. But let's not forget our own history. Hubert Ingraham, once the PLP’s rising star, crossed the floor and transformed the FNM into a potent political force—shaking the very foundations of Bahamian politics and offering the people a viable alternative. He didn’t just switch parties; he redefined the conversation.

Today, we are again at an inflection point. Bahamian politics is in crisis. The FNM is directionless, leaderless, and hollowed out of conviction. Meanwhile, the PLP is trapped in a fog of public mistrust, where corruption and cronyism have become synonymous with its brand. Yet, amid this political vacuum, the appetite for change remains very real. And sometimes, change does not come in the shape we expect.

If Robert were to enter the PLP—not as a loyalist, but as a reformer—it could provoke the kind of disruption that many had once hoped Brent Symonette would deliver. That never materialized, of course—Brent became a symbol of lost potential and political timidity. But Robert, with his intelligence, independent mind, and unfiltered candor, might not follow that path. His entry could rattle the establishment, awaken a dormant electorate, and—"if leveraged correctly—force internal reform. It could even position him as a serious contender for Deputy Prime Minister, or more ambitiously, for the top post itself."

Now, as for standing beside Sebas—yes, the optics are tough. Very tough. You're absolutely right to raise that. There's a real cultural and ideological dissonance there, and it would be naive to pretend otherwise. But politics is rarely clean. What matters is not the lineup on stage, but the principles that one brings to the stage. If Robert stays true to his convictions, refuses to compromise with rot, and anchors his every move in service to the Bahamian people—then perhaps the very thing that now feels so troubling may instead become a stepping stone toward redemption for our politics.

Ultimately, no matter what jersey one wears—FNM, PLP, or otherwise—what Bahamians are desperate for is real leadership, decency, and delivery. If Robert can offer that, then perhaps, just perhaps, he can bring new life to a broken system.

LOL. His mother got him that multi-million dollar BACSWN contract with the help of the U.S. government in exchange for making sure all employees at The Tribune understood that no heavy criticism of the PLP government's failed policies would be laid at the door step of PM Davis via the pages of her family's newspaper. The FNM party is truly history now that both Chairman Xi's ChiComs and King Trump's Oligarchs have apparently decided they want to put an end to our country's two-party political system that makes "buying" and propping up a puppet dictator that much more difficult. And yes, Hubiggity's family and the Dupuch-Carron family are birds of a feather for having duped loyal party supporters for many years before crossing party lines. But the big difference here is that Hubiggity, unlike the Dupuch-Carron family, did not do his duping for many decades using a national newspaper. Poor Pintard...and poorer yet....the betrayed Bahamian supporters of the FNM....have been revealed as suckers or saps for the last 50+ years. Put another way, the old wealthy Bahamian supporters of the FNM have either died or moved on to much greener pastures and the FNM simple lacks wealthy corrupt financial-backers at home and abroad with skin in the game of royally screwing the Bahamian people. I suspect these thoughts will ignite the 'bot' mindset.

---- Neither the Devil nor Mitchell can just ignore such a Dupuch-Carron run under the PLP General Election banner bombshell drop. ---- Goin' gets harder to keep track of as to the rules governing "who/what" genetic offsprings' may lie long-hidden away behind them wall-boards' as potential runners' under the PLP General Election banner. --- Mitchell wants to believe it's all some kind of "AI" generated newspaper's article. --- Who other than "AI" would've written in such manner? --Yes?

The Republicans freed the slaves in the USA, but Trump is now leader of the Republicans.

That's where we are in 242 as well.

Yes, politicians and their loyalists have a way of framing the narrative to suit their own narrow interests.
And yes, certain tropes do morph over time.

Some have long associated the name "Dupuch" with Haitian origin. -- I seem to recall a Dupuch having been associated with a family that had ties to Haiti, particularly through a court case involving a man of Haitian descent who was deported from The Bahamas back to Haiti. --- Yes?

**Sometimes, it’s necessary to restrain yourself in the face of ignorance—pause, exercise patience, and offer a bit of education instead.**

For those willing to learn—and if intellectual curiosity hasn’t been completely extinguished—let it be made clear:

These Bahamian surnames are of Haitian (French) origin. Their presence is a testament to the rich, interwoven history of migration, colonialism, and cultural evolution across the Caribbean.

Bahamian Surnames of French/Haitian Origin:-
* Dupuch.
* Bastien
* Dorsett
* Moncur
* Delancey
* Laroda
* LaFleur
* Deveaux
* Duvalier
* Le Mance
* Jean
* Pierre
* Chea

These names form part of The Bahamas’ overlooked French-Caribbean heritage—shaped not only by British rule, but also by Haitian resilience, Loyalist diaspora, and wider colonial movement. To dismiss or erase their origins is not only ignorant—it is historically incorrect.

I understand that reading may not be one of your strengths, but I challenge you to make the effort and look up "Caonabo." His historical connection to both The Bahamas and Haiti might surprise you—if you can manage to reason beyond your apparent racial bias. The facts are there for those willing to confront them. Try engaging with history, not just prejudice.

You remind me of the very articulate Frweddy Boy. LOL
