Minnis should apologize for making those statements.
"Insensitivity cannot be a trait for the leader or anyone who can imagine to be leader of a country."
Do you follow international news or know much about world history? Putin, Trump, Duterte, Mugabe, Erdogan, Roussef, Jingping... I haven't even touched the European leaders who had their episodes over the migrant crisis or even half of the 20th century. what you should say is that insensitivity should not be a trait for the leader.
IDB IMF are tools to be used for development. Get your facts together people, debt is to leveraged not burdened. We have uncontrollable spending and this fiscal year we have the largest Budget in Bahamian history to date. Our current budget is basically double that of 2007 and the deficit is twice as high. This is not the fault of international agencies, it's shit management of resources and rampant corruption.
I understand that but you are missing the point. Forget the FNM and move the hell on. the party isn't going to change and she doesn't need them. If she is as strong as she and her supporters claim then she needs to lead a platform elsewhere. The fight with Minnis is a complete waste of time. Forget trying to get him to resign. For fk sake you don't need the two major parties to win.
you know people seem to not understand how democracy works at all. Hijacked a party? This may be similar to the Tea party gt a foothold in the GOP making them go far right on the political spectrum. It's not some diabolical scheme, it's fucking democracy. You want to change something? Then rally your people around a candidate/s or issue and vote for that cause, Which evidently they may have done which has many of you so butthurt. If you find the conventions of a party's constitution unfavorable and you lose 3 times to change it, what do you do? If you can't rally enough support for you/your candidate then you/your candidate should join another flipping party or start one. This extreme salt from LBT supporters is hilarious.
You don't need the FNM to win an election, people are tired of that foolishness. Let these dinosaur parties die if they refuse to adapt and move the country forward. Most Bahamians don't give a crap about these party struggles, we just want an effective government that can reverse the course we are on! Break tradition and move forward.
Minnis whopped LBT's backside 3 times in a row for FNM leadership. With that being said end this fuckery for god's sake. I don't care about this ego trip or the power struggles between these millionaires. I want policy positions that aren't asinine. Cut the Pump and pageantry and all this "historical" BS. Lay out policy and a roadmap through legislation.
Because if LBT lost to a horrible leader like Minnis she must suck 3 times as much o not gain her party's support. Some argue Minnis had his cronies vote for him... guess what? That's kinda how democracy works lol. Move the ship forward with or without the FNM, bring out a policy platform that will make the young people vote.
Bro, sorry to tell you but coming home will not end the brain drain and in many cases, depending on your discipline, it's utterly asinine to do so and will only hurt your career. Maybe in your case it will benefit but I know of person who wentto Ivy League schools only to come home and work in a shoe store. Thankfully they went back to the US/Canada and got employment in their fields.
If you want to end the brain drain then run for office and make the change OR stay away and raise the money then come home. Anything outside of Finance, Healthcare, Law or Engineering (debatable) may be damn near financial suicide for someone without the proper connections and family pull.
Brain drains are ended by policies and effective planning and governance. what this administration is doing will only add to the push factors that lead the educated to leave.
