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.

Mr. Whitfield needs to read the cases and the Hawksbill Creek Agreement.
(21) That subject to the provisions of subclause (10) of clause 1 hereof only, the Port Authority shall have the sole right to construct and operate utilities (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing word “utilities”, **in particular electrical supply**, gas supply, water supply, telephone and sewerage disposal system) within the Port Area, and the necessary distribution systems in connection therewith, and **that no licence or other permission or authority shall be required by the Port Authority from the Government or any department thereof in connection therewith**, and that (subject to the provisions of subclause (6) of clause 1 hereof) the Port Authority shall have the authority to and **may charge such rates or other charges for such utilities or any of them as the Port Authority shall in its absolute discretion deem fit and proper,** Provided Always that all electrical supply installations made by the Port Authority or by any Licensee within the Port Area shall comply with the provisions of the Canadian Standards Association Canadian Electrical Code.
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.

Gomez has done nothing to clean up the PHA or our health system which can't account for upwards of $100 million of our money each year.
How can we as a people agree to something that a man who loses us $10,000 dollars for every hour that he has been minister recommends?
NHI is suicidal. for The Bahamas.

Agreed, there is no difference between the FNM or the PLP on the subject of crime. The two parties are getting closer in there approach to everything.
It is difficult to see any difference. A vote for the FNM will get you the same result as a vote for the PLP.
