Look at Article 54 of the Constitution. This is not like the Numbers.

Government has to hold a Referendum.

Economist says...

You are correct because the Constitution says "if either of the parents is a Bahamian".

But the Government says if you are not married then how do they know you are the father.

Yet still, they will give the child citizenship if it born outside the country even if they are not married. Go figure

Economist says...

No, she won't do anything but talk about it as the Country continues to bleed money.

And that would be retroactive too. So all this would go back to 1973.

But Dame Sawyer is not correct.

For those who think she is correct, you don't have to worry, you don't need to vote.

Those of you who vote "no" may wish to consider, "what if she is correct?

Economist says...

**Think of this. If Dame Sawyer is correct,** then every person born outside The Bahamas to a Bahamian Woman, married to a foreigner, is entitled to their Bahamian Citizenship right away, just as like a Bahamian man married to a foreign woman.

Those born in The Bahamas to a foreign woman and a Bahamian man (unmarried) would be entitled to their Bahamian Citizenship right away just like those born to a Bahamian woman and a foreign man.

The Foreign Husbands of Bahamian women would be entitled to Bahamian citizenship just like the foreign women married to Bahamian men.
