Leader of the Opposition. 82.- 1. There shall be a Leader of the Opposition who shall be appointed by the Governor-General. 2. Whenever there shall be occasion for the appointment of a Leader of the Opposition, the Governor-General shall appoint the member of the House of Assembly who, in his judgment, is best able to command the support of the majority of the members of the House in opposition of the Government; or if there is no such persons, the member of the House who, in his judgment, commands the support of that largest single group of members in opposition to the Government who are prepared to support one leader: Provided that this paragraph shall have effect in relation to any period between a dissolution of Parliament and the day on which the next election of members the House of Assembly is held as if Parliament had not been dissolved.
The only reason that there is so much noise in the market is that this is a foreign owner. "How the foreigner mistreats Bahamians and how bad done by we are."
Were was the noise when Tiger closed Solomon's Mines? There wasn't much talk either when he closed City Market.
We only make noise when a foreigner is involved because we have been taught (by the PLP especially) that when a foreigner lays you off you should run to the politicians, labour department and especially Immigration to put pressure on the foreigner to hire you back.
Over the years these politicians departments have protected their voter regardless of the circumstances.
What is significant is that so many Bahamians have come together. This could, I hope, be the beginning of a new awareness that we can stand up together for a better Bahamas.
A united population is a political force that must be listened to by wayward leaders.

As I read it URCA nor any government department or agency has any say.
The problem is that there is little or no difference between the PLP or the FNM. Neither are capable of leading the nation out of the economic depths.
Neither has come forward with a realistic economic plan because they don't know what to do.
Both parties are filled with old people with old ideas.
While the DNA doesn't sparkle either, it may be time to let them run the Country. They can't do any worse than the FNM or the PLP. Indeed, the DNA might surprise us.
