It seems true that this country would have been better served by remaining in close association with the UK, like Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. Their evident prosperity when compared with our parlous state is striking. Look at what they have that we don't:
1. Budgetary control; 2. A functioning public educational system; 3. A functioning system of law and order; 4. Properly functioning ministries; 5. No corruption at the highest level of government.
By contrast, in our country, the challenges ahead dealing with education, jobs, crime and failed/ineffective government agencies will not be met with any true solutions. Throw on an ever-increasing national debt and a government that cannot or will not contain spending and the future is pretty predictable. Poor Bahamas! We are truly incapable of running our own show.
