Statement by Hon. Perry Christie MP Leader of the Opposition Progressive Liberal Party On Referendum Victory Sir Lynden O. Pindling Center Nassau, Bahamas February 28, 2002
Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you all for coming here this morning. Let me say, firstly, how grateful we are to Almighty God for the events that have transpired in this country over the last twenty-four hours.It was a magnificent victory for the people of The Bahamas.They are the true and only winners in yesterday’s referendum. I am especially gratified that the Bahamian people have spoken in such resounding numbers.I believe that they understood our position and why we arrived at that position.I am satisfied that my personal position has been vindicated.
I would like to thank our religious and civic leaders for speaking out so wisely and courageously to the Bahamian people on the referendum issues and the flawed process the Government was following.I would especially like to salute His Grace archbishop Gomez; the President of the Bahamas Christian Council, Bishop Greene; Bishop Neil C. Ellis; and reverend Dr. William Thompson who, with many other leaders, both religious and civic, gave good counsel to the Bahamian people.
The pilot would have known...or SHOULD have known that the gear was not right before touching down at Staniel...Knowing that Staniel has no facilities to deal with a damaged aircraft, I would not have continued the landing attempt, go back around and head the plane back to Nassau and belly it into Nassau where you have fire rescue and maintenance facilities.
Well...we know voting 'No' to the gambling surely got twisted around in a big damn hurry to suit their (government) needs...not surprising that it is already coming to light that no matter which way we vote we will likely get slapped in the face with some legal angle that no commoner was privy to or informed about.
Do we have a new acronym for BPL yet? There were a few floating about for BEC...bungying every customer...bring emergency candles...gotta come up with some good ones for BPL...summer is upon us and I suspect nothing will change.

They were promised action before the last election, that once they voted PLP they'd be taken care of. Only took them nearly 5 years to ratify that.
