You are making a 'press statement' on what Leslie Miller says? Keep to the important facts man.

The US has reported corruption. What are you going to do about it? How are you going to fix the problem?

Stop the blah, blah, blah and say something for a change, like "I resign as Leader of the Opposition".

The current leadership in the FNM is ineffectual. They can't do anything to do anything

On FNM urged: Push on BOB report tabling

Economist says...

As I understand it they are only saying NO to #4 and that people should vote their conscious on #1-3.

Economist says...

The FNM is full of old people in the Counsel and the leadership.

They can't see that LBT is their only chance, because they are already blind in their old age (been in politics way too long to see).

Economist says...

The Receivers work for the Chinese. The government gave the Chinese all the decision making power over what happens to Baha Mar.

The Receivers, like the government, have no power to help.

Economist says...

Well, I guess that about sums it up.

Economist says...

If we had Freedom of Information together with Open and Transparent bidding for Government contracts there would be a lot less corruption.

The Bahamas would be much better off as well.

I think that you will find that the Constitution was set out as a schedule to The Bahamas Independence Order 1973 laid before the UK Parliament (1973 No.1080) on 20th June 1973.

Can you give me the details of the Order in Chief 1972. Thanks

Economist says...

I agree that this is the Constitution that LO and his team came up with. Indeed it would have been much worse had it not been for the fact that the UK supported the opposition and, I am told, made the current one the minimum they would agree to grant independence under.

We have an opportunity now to put some of this right and to bring our country into the 21st century.
