Speaking of preferences, people also would have preferred FNM money men not funding the DNA in the last election - but we can't always get what we prefer, now can we Brent?
As stupid as this guy is, he has the nerve to try to take all Bahamians for fools. So stating the obvious about crime is supposed to make Bahamians forget how worthless Minnis is and how worthless the FNM has been under his leadership and the leadership of the office holders of that Party? And a man who secretly and repeatedly meets with alleged murder conspirators is seeking to lecture about crime? The FNM is a disgrace now. The PLP has always been what it is. Now the FNM is actually showing what it is where in times past, it was either better hidden or not permitted to get to this point.
Are there two different FNMs now? They issued this dated the 31st:
The Central Council also agreed pursuant to and consistent with Section 23 of the Party’s Constitution, practice, custom and precedent that, if necessary, there will be, an election for the Office of Chairman on Monday, April 14, 2016. The process for the election of the said Office begun at the Thursday, March 31 meeting, as Nomination was opened and one individual was duly nominated in the person of Sidney Collie, Attorney-at-Law. **Council decided to have Nominations for Chairman remain open until the close of business day, Monday, April 4, 2016.**
But in this story, Rolle says that nominations will open/begin on Monday the 4th. The Party's statement meantime, says nominations opened last Thursday and will close at the end of business day on Monday the 4th. Which is it? Are there two FNMs now, the one Rolle is Acting Chairman of, and the one that met last Thursday? And if nominations began as of their Council meeting on Thursday night and Collie has already nominated, why hasn't Rolle nominated? Why didn't he nominate during that Council meeting as the Party says Collie did? He is the Acting Chair right now, and when speaking to the media about that acting post, he was talking as though he was already the Chairman-elect. And as an aside, whoever wrote that statement needs to take some refresher courses on sentence structure, punctuation and grammar.
> The outcome of this election will tell Bahamian voters whether the entire governing apparatus of the FNM party is corrupt beyond all hope for the party's ongoing viability in Bahamian politics.
Actually, the process and outcome of their 2014 convention told us that.
Allow? That is not his call, that is the call of the Central Council of the Party. The Leader does not have authority over a declaration of the Central Council.
Look Maurice Moore. We know what Minnis promised you if he were to become Prime Minister, hence your actions in support of him. But carry on if you think it will get you somewhere. You are making yourself a disservice to the party you helped to form.

There is nothing new about that approach for the FNM; that is the FNM's way.
