Low voter registration is a sign of voter apathy, given the desperate desire of the politicians to cling onto their jobs at any cost to the country. You have to ask why any educated individual trained in a well paying profession would enter politics for what by comparison is a measly salary. The answer is obvious and applies to most other countries as well.

if the deal were to be agreed, very little of the cash would be used to pay of the national debt rather a few token projects with the usual lack of accountability.

It is obvious that so much money needed for essentials is being squandered in these number houses. Surely as the Government totally disregarded the wishes of the public it would be wise to have a national lottery so that at least the "consolidated fund" would benefit .

$55,000 plus perks for a part time job, is this on top of a pension ?

Wish on. Accounting of any sort from school funds , fund raising events and Government expenditure is a dirty word.

No supporter of Christie and the damage he has done but that comment is nasty and not warranted especially coming from a supposed Christian.

The PM and his followers visited central Eleuthera on Wednesday to assess what? They looked at the sink hole on the road leading to Cupids Cay which was damaged way before the Hurricane then visited the site of the proposed new hospital in Palmetto Point and then had lunch at a local restaurant where I am told over 80 people got their noses in the trough. Apart from the cost of such trips are there not more important islands (Andros/Freeport) that need his undivided attention.

Funny counry this, love donations from other countries of equipment, cash from winter residents to allow voluntary groups such as family island ambulances and fire engines to operate, assistance from free dental groups, supplies to the clinics but "we don't want foreigners". Get real Mr Miller this tiny tiny country needs all the help it can get and can easily be by passed by more efficient countries. Most developed countries have long realised that one or more qualified individuals from whatever country can often run local industries efficiently and therefore provide more jobs. If devaluation and downgrading occur which is looking more likely you better hope Mr Miller that you and your mindless cronies know where turn for help.

Has he paid his BEC bills yet ?

Jobs will be given to the party faithful, there will be no estimates or competitive bidding and as for accountability, these guys couldn't get pay for a round of drinks without loosing track of the cost. Carnival-looses money two years on the trot but now we hear it was never intended to make a profit, and the list goes on and on and on.
