crime and corruption are the biggest cries against the PLP. And while hard times started under the FNM and continues under the PLP government that promised relief, the biggest strikes against the DNA is that they are untried as a government, Bran is too aloof and does not know how to cater to the grassroots and his style of leadership is dictatorial,

Tell me if I lie the people who complain the most and cry the loudest is be the first one in line to vote PLP. Is like one ole gal u was promising to break up with since the money change. Now people worrying bout the $$ getting devalued and you and her still going strong

Soon time to register to vote. Voter's cards are free but under this government the price will double by next year. Will that mean they will become too free? hmm...

Shut up and Shake! Carnival is a coming, or is it?

Since most commercial property will exceed $100,000 in price, persons wishing to sell such property will have to become a VAT registrant, if they are not already registered Since VAT is a "pass thru" tax that resides with the end consumer, the purchaser will have to pay VAT if no prior arrangement is made, such as VAT inclusive pricing on the property when advertising it for sale.. Otherwise the seller will have to collect the VAT and remit it to the government.

According to the acting controller of VAT, stamp tax on a (commercial) real property transaction will transform into VAT. So VAT will replace stamp tax meaning it will not be an additional item. But this will mean that whatever the stamp tax is now will become what the VAT is now at 7.5%.

if elections were called today, the major contest would sill be between the PLP and the FNM. The major difference this time is that the DNA will draw as many or more supporters from the PLP, or more than it drew from the FNM last election. This would be interesting because the DNA must now transform this support into seats in parliament. To go without winning any seats in two consecutive elections can spell and end for the DNA, while gaining one or two will give them political clout and the power to negotiate. The question then is should the DNA field a full slate of candidates and present themselves as a viable alternative to government, or should they focus more in divisions where they stand better chances of winning seats? While many supporters have claim to have abandoned the PLP this, at this point will not transfer into a easy victory for the FNM. Many who were disgruntled with this party last election are still members of the DNA. Some are still bruised by Hubert Ingraham's iron fist form of leadership. Yet many feel that the FNM under its present structure is not ready to stand up to the PLP machinery. The have government resources at their disposal, and Bah Mar, along with Atlantis is on stream, along with others to line their election kitty's and the Casino boys will have been tamed It appears that they have already started pumping money to mobilise their campaign and if the opening of Bah Mar does kick start the economy, persons will be so grateful to find jobs, they will quickly forget hard ties. Some believe that if Hubert Minnis does not show more 'leadership' qualities and ability to run an election that may not only be strongly contested, but fought dirty, some may come out of the woodwork to steer the party through the election and wrestle power from the PLP. Of course the DNA is till holding a trump card because if they join with either of the two parties, the chances of that party winning the election will increase twofold. Perry Christie may definitely not be up to another full term as prime minister after 2017 and the question of who will replace him is better answered sooner than later. Many in his tow has credibility issues or just do not have the dynamics, the appeal and the leadership skills to win this election. Who will you vote for?

At least four of the murders this year proves that persons no longer wants their victim dead. They want to torture them and make them suffer while carrying out the act then still want to destroy and dishonor the body after it is dead.

Wasn't this the same government that criticized Loretta Butler Turner for remaining quiet when threats were made against her? In this day and time nothing is to be taken lightly. There are many disgruntled persons in society and many who have fallen on very hard times. A lot of persons are under the influence of drugs, alcohol and other mind altering substances and are not thinking clearly. Even in the US there have been some very close calls for the president of the United States and his wife is no longer as much in the public as she use to be. She too had some close calls. Many younger persons in the US and other countries have shut down their Facebook accounts because many of these accounts are being monitored for persons who may have contacts with terrorists groups or plans to join ISIS.

On the other hand government seems to be warming up its election machinery. This can lead to hundreds of millions in reckless spending over the next two years.
