Minnis tried the unity route and it failed miserably. To bring LBT back is absolutely foolish. My advice to Minnis is deal with them in the same manner that HAI would have dealt with them
Andrew Allen is absolutely wrong. I grew up around Haitians and hardly any of my childhood friends remind in the Bahamas today. The majority of them along with their parents now lives in the USA. My maid once she got her visa never returned. In fact, I got a call from a USA mortgage broker regarding one of my laid off workers, who I didn't even know left and he was in the process of getting a home. Another worker left in October. Their final objective is the USA.
It appears that some of you drank some of the same Kool Aid Perry got at the convention. During the last election more people oppose the PLP compared to those who supported them. Eight seats the PLP won by less than 100 votes. Consider the fact that another 10,000 youths have graduate and are without work. Even though, the majority of them are unemployable they cast the blame on the government. They are looking for a scapegoat.
Minnis has every right to be distrustful of the Ingrahamites. It was just last month when they rebel and successfully strip him of the title leader of the opposition. Phenton Neymour didn't utter a word. He could have shown his loyalty by condemning the move. Silence shows consent.
Fred Mitchell has brilliantly plotted his rise in the PLP right down to convincing Perry to gave him the Department of Immigration. Fred Mitchell knows that tough rhetoric on immigration will endear him to the populace. Alas, I thought his fanatic desire to be PM would have compel him into an arrange marriage but he doesn't seem prepared to make that sacrifice. He is betting that the seem way Jamaica overlook PJ Patterson singleness, Bahamians would also give him a pass.
Like I said previously when quite a few pundits were singing her praises, the move was ill-conceived. All she had to do was wait. If the FNM lost she most likely emerge as leader. If the FNM won base on her forecast, Hubert Minnis would be disastrous for the country giving her the opportunity to again challenge for the leadership. Staying putt was a win win for her.
25 % reduction in the public service - 350,000,000 annually. Sell remaining shares in BTC - $300,000,000 (premium for the government not been involve). Sell BEC - $500,000,000(The reason why BEC is not profitable is because they are not allowed to operate like a real business). Freedom of Information Act $200,000,000 ( Openness has a financial impact). Provide the Chinese with a 100 year lease in part of Andros mirroring the one the Chinese gave to to the British in the form of Hong Kong. Permanent residence or even citizenship for those with doctorates, engineering, Ivy League graduates etc(offset the brain drain).
There is quite a bit more ideas I can suggest but those would suffice for now.
The bright side is that those who have US dollars purchasing power increases. The solution to the problem.
