Except for Kelly's in Freeport, all Bahamian Business men are sissies, they have no balls.
Bahamian Businesses are too timid to take on Government. That is why it is so easy for Government to do as it likes. Who is going to stand up.....no one!
Bahamian Businesses are the biggest reason that the economy is in a mess.
The point about Doc being for the Small man is the very problem. Doc talks of tax breaks in certain areas of Nassau. Sounds great to the Small man except that it means nothing as the"Small Man" will not be able to take advantage of the tax break unless several other things are put in place.
Doc has not mention how he plans to put those much more difficult things in place which are necessary for the "Tax Breaks" to be effective.
Doc is no better than the PLP.
Full of talk about a rosy day that will never come. How is that being for the Small man?
The ability to delegate by empowering people. Lyndon Pindling did this well. He empowered A.D. Hanna, Clement Maynard thus broadening his own power base. In his early years he surrounded himself with young intelligent people like Fred Mitchell, Sean McWeeney, Hubert Ingraham
He had a vision, or had persons (those young intelligent people) who gave him a vision and was able to communicate that vision to others.
A good leader must have energy. Good leaders never seem tired.
Must have a good command of what is going on and be able to answer questions quickly. A good leader is confident.
He must be able to articulate so as to lead people. The ability to create a creative and energetic team. Not just a yes team but an innovative team that is able to adjust to different political and economic events.
Delegates, this is not about Minnis being your good buddy or paying for stuff. This is about his performance over the last three or four years as leader. The fact that this convention is necessary should indicate to you that he has been unable to show many of us that he has any ability at all.
I don't know Minnis or any of the contenders, but can go on what I have seen and read. I will not vote FNM in the next election if you put Minnis back in, I have no confidence in him as a leader. This country is facing the most serious crisis since the 1930's. He is clearly incapable of dealing with the situation.
He maybe a very nice person, but he is not a leader.
The Bahamas is not an agricultural exporter but it does provide Financial Services. Look who has been the biggest beneficiary of Bahamian Financial Services Head Offices. Yup, Barbados. Why you may ask is that? The answer is the WTO.
Tourism and Financial services are the basis of our economy, not agriculture, nor do we manufacture very much, except in Freeport (and they have suffered by us not being in the WTO).
Ask yourself why all those good paying Head Office jobs are no longer in The Bahamas and are now, for the most part, in Barbados.
WTO does not deal with freedom of movement of labour.
Bahamas dollar will soon lose its value when The Bahamas gets 'junk bond' status.
Migrants will want to go to Cuba where they have better education than The Bahamas, better health than The Bahamas, and will soon have better job opportunities.
The Bahamas is going down hill fast. WTO would improve our businesses and business opportunities. The country would be much better off if it went into the WTO.
They are not going to be able to reduce the immigration and other misleading statements used to get the old, who want to turn back the clock and the lower educated labourer, who wants the old union days back to vote for leave.
And now they find that it is not what they thought.
SP etc. you are making misleading statements that do not accurately reflect reality.
"But proponents of remaining in the EU view the position as wishful thinking because the UK only possesses 13% of the EU’s total sea area, but is allocated 30% of the EU’s current fish quotas."

Hammond did not address the need for access to the single market. The EU has said "access to the Single Market comes with free movement of labour."
They have said that is non-negotiable.
