Are you serious. Hubert Minnis and Loretta Butler Turner both have their share of actions that have not served the party well though ofcourse Minnis gets the lion share, but it is the Bahamian people of Long Island - who had absolutely no say in any of the things Minnis or Loretta have done - that would have destroyed the FNM?
What I took notice of is the Opposition uttered not a word during this announcement even though it is widely known that this investor is unsuitable and even though nothing was tabled in Parliament with respect to this matter.
There are no words for this level of foolishness in the Parliament of The Bahamas. Is Minnis really this simple-minded to haggle over what he knew would be a change of seats? And is he really this ignorant to invoke Pindling?
> Most Bahamians fail to understand that a UK styled Westminster parliamentary system of government has been ill-suited for an independent Bahamas since July 10, 1973...Our political parties do not have a true democratic purging mechanism for the party leader who invariably successfully hijacks the entire leadership apparatus of the party in order to cement his/her position as party leader with unquestionable and unlimited authority to remain in that de facto dictator role.
Parties control this, not the Westminster System. The Westminster System is a Parliamentary and Legislative system. It does not instruct political parties on how they are to organize themselves. If parties want a more democratic system they can constitute it. Their constitutions are reflections of their political philosophy.

She is not a de facto leader of the FNM though. And even if Minnis were to resign, the Party is not going to elect her as leader. Since I know she had no actual end-game going into this, there would be no point to my asking, even rhetorically, just what she hopes to accomplish. She will not be running as an FNM obviously since her nomination is certainly going to be pulled. Yet she claims "we" will get rid of the PLP, though she says she is not joining the DNA or any other Party. She is lost in space.
