LBT may not be the right one but she is better than Minnis. The party needs a smart young (40ish) leader. Someone who the young can identify with and who the old feel that there is hope that the country will now do better.
There are way to many old politicians who just won't let go of the party. They want to keep it "their way" and are destroying it in the process.
They like Minnis because he doesn't rock the boat.
Minnis has done nothing in 4 years so why should I expect him to do anything if he becomes PM? I don't. So why vote for a do nothing?
You go Doc! By the way the background in the picture says "ourfnm". You mean "yourfnm" because it sure isn't mine and many others anymore.
But you don't have to worry because the ones who have lost faith in the FNM, because of you, are the young upwardly mobile and they are the ones leaving the country.
She was whopped by a the FNM council which does not reflect the real voter. It is controlled by a group of "has beens" who's loyalty was with Cecil under whom they could not win an election. They still have no idea of how to run a winning party.
They only know how to pick and support losers like Minnis.
LBT may not have been the choice with a young dynamic group. They could have chosen someone else who one of the other MP's would have stepped aside for and been elected in a bye election.
This old crowd have no idea of how to create a winning party.
The only reason that this has occurred is that a group of very old men (Wells, CA, Moore, Thompson and Dupuch with some of the original fossils of the FNM) have hijacked the party. They have resisted, as much as they could, having young council members and, by and large, have kept the old and decrepit as a large majority of the Council.
If they had allowed and encouraged a younger council we would not be in a situation where half the FNM's traditional voters want nothing to do with the FNM.
I keep running into people who either are not going to vote or will vote DNA again to protest the FNM.
Some have said that if Sears were to win the PLP leadership they would consider voting for the PLP before they vote FNM.
