Now comes the nauseating race-based arguments on both sides; those who have an issue because he is a mulatto (though white to the eye), and those who want us to believe he is white, and that this by itself makes him the person every "intelligent" person should want to be Prime Minister.
Well only the party can elect him deputy leader. Deputy Prime Minister meantime holds no constitutional weight and is simply another member of the cabinet, so that post is not a power play if that is what Brent may be thinking.
Minnis does not need to lose his seat. The post of Prime Minister is an appointed post, not an elected post. When a Party wins, the elected members can advise the GG that someone other than their party leader commands their support in the House. That person would then be appointed PM. I wasn't suggesting that this will happen in my original post, but it can. Many Bahamians do not know or understand this. What I was alluding to however, was the inner party dynamics and how this is going to turn very dicey very quickly.
What is his money supposed to do for the FNM just weeks before a general election? Pouring oil into a bottle full of holes still results in a messy floor and a slipping hazard for everyone in that room.
> The FNM’s Freetown candidate yesterday accused the Government of seeking “to create a country of dependents” through ever-increasing social programmes that the Bahamas cannot afford.

I see that he announced his candidacy instead of the party doing so. Anyone with eyes can see what this is going to be the start of.
