Deep in debt but offer free duty on building materials, furniture etc. Madness and just " what catchy gimmick can I dream up to get your vote". Mind you you can just see the corruption in administering this scheme if it were to happen.

So amusing to see dedicated followers wasting time, money on useless parades, free tee shirts, cookouts, backhanders, when in reality whomsoever wins cannot, I repeat cannot do 90% of their pre election promises because thete is no money. As for free breakfast, snacks and lunch for all students, totally impossible financially or practically. When will these stupid people adorning their cars in posters and sitting for hours honking their horns realise that nothing will change apart from a few more loyalty civil service jobs.Wake up.

Nonsense. ministry of education leaders have failed for years. From hiring Cuban teachers to teach subjects they are not qualified to teach, irregular or no supplies at all, nonsensical schemes to change the way practical subjects are taught, centralised computerised report card scheme abandoned, over 15 high school workshops closed through lack of teachers. Are we still sending BGCSE exam papers to Cambridge in the UK for checking and then having inspectors fly out to see if it is being administered properly ?So can you imagine IF there were funds for this grandiose free food scheme that they would be able to organise it ? Funny how just before the election Minnis promises this scheme plus increasing the minimum wage .One asks why these things could not have bee done months if not years ago.

Neither of the parties can carry out all their promises because of the national debt. It's that simple.

But what you say is true.

Having taught in the school system for over 40 years the ministry is incompetent and can't even get regular school supplies for departments such as woodwork, auto, cookery and science to name just four. I and many others gave up the annual farce of completing a requisition because very rarely did anything arrive. If this food idea had any hope of taking off ,just how will it be delivered. The lunch vendors will not be happy and given all governments tardy payment of bills history there will be stoppages far and wide, Funny how just on the eve of the election this idea springs up. All parties will come up with ideas just to get your vote and then quietly forget them. Has Minnis actually done the maths and costed this out-I very much doubt it.

A the man with a big magic wand flew down to the Bahamas and said " here you are Mr Davies, as much money as you want for all these splendid ideas, and just forget what we already owe".
If the PLP get in watch for a host of broken promises and raises in taxes. Enjoy the free tee shirts, chicken and beer whilst you can because harder times ahead whoever gets in.

Whomsoever wins be it PLP or FNM they all face the same problems of huge national debt and the difficulty of replacing decaying buildings. In fairness had the PLP been in power for the last three plus years can they state with absolute clarity how they would have handled the devastating hurricane and the equally devastating covid epidemic and done it without incurring massive debt. What the average Bahamian seems not to realise is that running a country comes down to basic financial maths. Income in - expenditure out. If you spend more than you earn then you have to borrow. Its that simple whoever you support.

Get your free chicken, tee shirt and beer because PLP have you believe they have a magic wand. Funny how they are going to promote vaccinations , how exactly.

So so many had a go at Brent Symonette for being a millionaire. Smacks of racism. Bear in mind Hank Johnson FNM incumbent MP is a self made businessman but not even close to being a millionaire as opposed to the three contendors. Just saying as so many seem to get wealthier once in offoce.
