Don't need Jamaicans or Americans to tell the reality on the ground. Fact is the FNM base has been shaky in every election since 2012 (with the exception of 2017) and third parties have drained enough to cost them seats. When the FNM or a third party eventually takes power again FPTP needs to be thrown out in favour of an STV or PR type system in order to accommodate the reality that we are no longer a two party democracy. (this would have benefited the PLP as well in 2017 because they would have had a lot more than 4 seats but don't expect meaningful change from them).

That said Bahamians are largely ignorant of how unrepresentative and archaic our FPTP electoral system is. Half of the New Providence seats (plus some of the Family Island ones like Abacos) were won on plurality and not majority. The Bahamas is no longer a two party democracy (hasn't been since 2012) and yet we are continuing to try make a two party system work. A party with 52% of the vote should not have 80% of the seats, we unironically have one of the most unrepresentative Parliaments in the world according to the Gallagher index. We need to get with the times and update our electoral system to fit the actual reality of our country.

The Jamaicans have a valid point to be made regarding Long Island imo, the FNM vote share has steadily dwindled each election since 2012:

2012: 979
2017: 883
2021: 728
2026: 728

The PLPs best performance was in 2026 with 591 voted. Long Island won't be sending a PLP MP in the coming cycles but overall there is a definite trend towards the PLP visible in the statistics. That said that isn't Rollins fault, he matched Gibsons total with a CoI candidate also draining the vote, but the decline has been visible for several cycles now.

Shhh. This is what yinna voted for so shutup and take your licks. Fix your face and twist good, you got 5 more years of this BS so enjoy. We tried telling yinna you was ga suffer but that fried chicken and rum was hitting real good. Hope your belly still full.

Minnis was completely correct when he called that the feds don't trust the gubermint which is why they aren't sharing any info. Why would police tell the criminals when the raid is going to go down? Listen whoever is in gubermint doing this shit is so screwed, once they caught the eye of the feds that was it. Heat is on and when its convenient for the feds the little party will come crashing down and house will be cleaned. Nobody in this country is rich enough or wears a kippah to get off once the Americans are involved, Bahamas is little leagues tiny tots wybes compared to stakes in states. Don't be surprised if you see Bahamian politicians them sharing one cell in NY next to Maduro one day.

This matter is nothing to do with Trump. At the very least one high ranking politician (likely more) is involved with drugs and brokering deals in the HoA. The feds are not just making shit up off air, the fact they are willing to put it in writing tells you they already have the case and are just waiting to see where other chips fall. This is not a democrat or republican or American politics issue, this is a Bahamian corruption issue and if Trump is the one to clean up the Bahamian government he would be doing us a huge favour.

Exactly. PhellP only talk about laws when it's beneficial to them. Other than that they don't exist.

Idk why so many people are super excited about this. Yes these dudes probably was juicing the clock for money but someone had to sign off on that OT and it's incredibly obvious the gubermint is just sacrificing these dudes as scapegoats to soak up public anger while doing absolutely nothing to fix the structural problems inherent to BPhelL.

Missing forest for trees. Rental reform is one thing but there needs to be serious effort to improve home ownership opportunities. Young Bahamian home ownership rates are just as bad or worse than US or Canada and the gubermint needed a plan 10-20 years ago but doesn't have one now. CoI is the only serious political party with a vision in this country, all of this crown land is collecting dust or being given away to foreigners when we can be planning a head start for the next generation. The way it looks now Bahamians will be an endangered species and the nation will be entirely foreign owned in another half century unless we get real political change.

So let me get this straight: when Cay did gone to the clinic before election and showed them sitting their ass up in the dark with no power they got mad at him and told him to leave but now they want to complain about their issues lol. Cay might carry on stupid sometimes but at the end of the day he talks the truth and points out real issues, but don't worry I'm sure the PhellP will fix this lmao. This why I don't feel sorry for Bahamians anymore though, a lot of Bahamians are just like these stupid battered wives that keep going back to the man that's beating them. At some point you just have to wash your hands and chalk it up to natural selection. Make low IQ decisions and you will get low IQ results.
