Agreed...I will be the first to admit to only ever voting FNM in my voting lifetime...I had serious reservations when Tommy T was running, and not surprisingly we lost that one. As it stands now, I know I would not vote PLP, but with the FNM in its current state, I would not vote FNM either. They either need to up their game...and earn the respect of the people by doing the right thing...quickly...or a third party (not necessarily saying the DNA) needs to come about as a solid viable alternative. I am afraid for this country come 2017, obviously the PLP and PGC have got to go, the FNM are still blown apart and struggling, and I'm not too sure if the DNA roster last election could have led effectively either, so if we end up with the same again come 2017...what the heck are we going to do...sign up for another 5 years of poor governance? Truly frightened with the prospects for a good government come 2017.
What needs to be addressed before any National ID card comes into play is corruption... Police are too busy shaking down Haitians, both legal and illegal and threatening to take them out to the detention centre unless they give them all the cash they are carrying. You have scores of illegal Haitians living within blocks of Fox Hill Police station and it happens almost every day. They know the Haitians won't argue or report them, mention the detention centre and they immediately know to offer up cash and they can walk free. Ain't no national ID card going to stop that and get these people deported

Some people are truly delusional if they think the Bahamian People or the Government got the better deal. This nation is screwed because people cannot see past their own noses.

3...you can guarantee your bottom dollar that if there is any government 'administration' of the trust, it will be raped and pillaged to the maximum. That trust will be donating money right left and center to some random and obscure event at inflated values to line peoples pockets.
