In a mature democracy any house leader who has lost the support of his colleagues would have stepped down. But of course, the Bahamas is not a mature democracy and the politicians are, with few exceptions, barnacles clinging to and weighing down our ship of life.
It would help if that younger person wasn't an American citizen and hence constitutionally ineligible to run until he is no longer an American citizen!
Key's issue was not in an insistence on running. It was on already being assured of the nomination by the party's leader and hence already working as such.

Key will be 79 next year and still want to run, when are the young people going to get a chance.
