Frankly, with crime so out of control, anyone wishing to spend $1 million on a property in New Providence in order to secure permanent residency needs to undergo a psychological evaluation (Shane Gibson will have a number to hand). There are many countries in the world where $1 million will buy you peace and harmony and a quality of life that is impossible in the killing fields of New Providence.

Apart from government corruption, what else is working well in The Bahamas Mr. Prime Minister?

Honestman says...

Doesn't this escalation in senseless slaughter necessitate a statement from the Prime Minister, the Minister of National Security and The Commissioner of Police? Or is it just another few days in the killing fields of New Providence?

There is a worldwide movement of people taking back control of their destiny from the elitist establishment. The UK has shown the way with BREXIT and Trump has followed up in the USA. Next year there is a good chance that France will start the process of exiting the European Union when the right wing Marine Le Pen gains control of their Parliament. People are sick and tired of not having their voices heard. It is the same in The Bahamas where the corrupt and calamitous PLP has trodden roughshod over the interests and wishes of the Bahamian people these last four and a half years. So how will Bahamians respond? I have no doubt that only the delusional and brainwashed PLP diehards and those in the PLP inner circle will vote for the status quo. Everyone else is desperate to "stick it" to the Party and consign them to the annals of history never to return. But who to trust the protest vote to? This is the dilemma. All honest Bahamians are desperate for change but too many see the FNM under Hubert Minnis as just another part of the political elite. McCartney and the DNA don't seem to have enough momentum or profile to challenge in their own right. In my view, therefore, there needs to be an electoral pact between the FNM and the DNA in order to remove the PLP. This HAS to be the single most important objective. Once the PLP is gone, the country can start to look at future leadership and direction. For now it is critical that the protest vote is not split. Another 5 years of PLP mis-rule would tip the country over the edge.
