Something must be done to stop this constant wastage/ mismanagement of public funds. Else when the PLP is ready to demit office in 2017 the VAT rate will have to be trippled just to keep the country going.
I disagree with you fully. A lot of young people who support the PLP are tech savvy. They are politically aware and they do have a social conscience. They are the ones who feel more let down and betrayed by their PLP leaders, especially when many of them are not working and cannot find a job and are in hard times and they hear how many millions of dollars are being mismanaged and misused and squandered by this PLP government. They will be the ones with the most valuable vote come next election. And if they decide to swing their vote against the PLP "it over"!
Do you think the legalization/decriminalization of marijuana will be a major issue in the upcoming elections? It will definitely be popular with the young male voter and if the issue is raised early enough, it may encourage a lot of them to go register and go out and vote
Then there is Michael Halkitas, Obie Wilchcombe's, Freddy Mitchell and Glenys Hanna-Martin. Take your pick. While tourism numbers are up impressively and the number houses are being regulated Obie seems to have dropped the ball on Carnival. Fred Mitchell seems to be making inroads on immigration reform but most will not trust him with question four on the constitutional amendment. Michael Halkitas seem to have done well with the implementation of VAT and going after outstanding taxes but he can't seem to get his party to control spending and wastage and double dipping and corruption? The biggest factor Glenys Hanna has against her is her gender. Are Bahamians ready for a woman prime minister? Unfortunately it is the female voter that will have an issue voting for another woman and unfortunately women make up the majority of voters. In the US the Republicans have already started to beat up on Hillary Clinton even though she is not yet officially announced as a presidential candidate for the Democrats.
The credibility of these people is incredible. We the taxpayers are paying two and three times for everything this government does. Maybei they need to sit on their hands until 2017
Many believe that Brave Davis has now become too tainted to be prime minister. It will require more than polish to clean up his image for the number one post.
A US judge has ruled that America cannot deport children of illegal immigrants. These children are now considered stateless and can only be returned to the country of their parents if that country agrees to accept them. Otherwise these children will have to obtain status in the US.
