But most people don't seem to care.. Mainly because so many don't understand the effects and consequences.

But when Buddy Hield gets criticised, the whole nation rises and comes to his defence. When a women writes an article about us, the whole nation rises and ridicules her. When the issue of gay marriage comes up, the whole nation is suddenly interested in politics and wants their voice heard. Everyone seems to have their opinion about the politicians, but only a few seem to have an opinion about their actual policies and decisions! It seems as though only the petty and trivial things are able to gain enough attention to warrant Bahamians to speak out.

Meanwhile, the government is systematically, piece by piece, destroying the financial stability of this country and they are facing little opposition in the process. Where is the public outrage? Why aren't they getting slammed by the press and the public to the same degree as they would in any other modern, democratic country. Only now do I see the opposition speaking up, and they aren't even saying much... WHERE have you been the last 4 years!?!? Sleeping?! This is pathetic.

But if you ask Perry Christie, Brave Davis and and the rest of the crew they will tell you how everything is fine and how the economy is healthy and growing!! It's an absolute joke. You can't script this stuff.

Bahamians, please, I am begging you to wake up and make noise. The PLP are only able to spout such nonsense because most of what they say goes ignored or unchallenged by the Bahamian public. Indeed, even the opposition has been playing a disgracefully weak roll in holding the PLP's feet to the fire over the last 4 years. This government is destroying the economy and every aspect of social life faster than I could ever imagine.

And the nerve of Perry Christie the other day calling for future leaders of the country to undergo some sort of "test" or some method to determine whether they are fit to run the country. Christie... you are unfit to run the country. What planet are these people living on!?! Have they spoken to business owners lately? Have the looked at the figures? We are in negative growth, and have been for some time. Our debt to GDP ratio is at a dangerous level. Our credit rating is near Junk status. Even if this gov. wants to continue to borrow money without any foresight, soon we won't be able to because no one will want to lend it to us! And the PLP has the nerve to tell us about all the supposed benefits of their nonexistent "economic plan" and how much revenue has been raised from vat.. lol. These people are utterly clueless.

This country is in serious, serious financial problems. I don't think the Bahamian populace truly grasps how serious the matter is. They'll know when our currency gets devalued, when investors roll out, when the gov. tries to ban how much money bahamians can take out of the country, when crime gets even worse, when education gets even worse, when even less jobs are available.. That is where we are headed folks. It's going to get real, real ugly unless radical change comes very soon.

I'm not surprised really. Bimini has witnessed shootings before. The drug trade is the root cause of the problems on that island..

Resign

In less important breaking news the Uk leaves the European Union.

Cameron did the honourable thing. How can you lose two referendums and not resign? PM Christie should take note.

Serious... When the topic of homosexuality comes up, all the thieves, liars and adulterers all of sudden become the most Christian people you'll ever meet! lol

They need Buddy Hield on the team man

He should

Im looking at these polls and comments on Bahamas News facebook page and seems a lot of FNM supporters want Minnis as leader.. I don't get it? What has he done since becoming leader of the party to demonstrate that he can actually lead the party? The party has has been plagued by internal conflicts ever since he took the helm. I don't know.. it seems like the Bahamian public make decisions purely on an emotional whim these days. It's just not adding up. I also cant believe some people actually like that lame slogan "ROC with DOC"!! Who gets up in Parliament and says that sort of thing? It's not even witty or funny.

Minnis is definitely a valuable member of the FNM, and a well educated, and very intelligent man.. but is he leadership quality? Can he lead the FNM to victory in the general election, and future general elections?! I don't know. I think the PLP want him as leader because of the answer to those very same questions.. if that's not saying something then I don't know what is.
