DIANE PHILLIPS: The good, the bad and the unfinished of the current government

I promised myself when I started writing this column four years ago that I would stay away from politics. In close to 200 columns since, I’ve held politics at arm’s length except on that rare occasion when discussion of policy trumped distance from party.

However, after six months it would seem as though most Bahamians are succumbing to a pervasive feeling of voter dissonance.
