This Michael Scott needs to stop it with pretending to speak for white Bahamians in this country. Why is he, as a white man, bringing race into the picture while at the same time condemning supposed supporters of Minnis for doing the same thing? Why is he singling out white Bahamians when Bahamians across the board, regardless of race, do not support Minnis?
> That one reason is that if a U.S. Court was permitted by the Bahamian government to take jurisdiction of this matter, all the corrupt dealings between the Chinese entities and certain well connected persons in the Bahamian political class would have been fully exposed, with lawsuits to follow. That is the whole sordid story.
> “We ought to inquire of both Mr Ruffin and the Financial Secretary as to the status of those taxes. We’re going to issue the request for information next week, and get to the bottom of it.”
The PAC has not convened to make this decision, so how does Peter Turnquest, who is not the Chairman of the PAC, think he can announce this at all, or arrogate unto himself the authority to make such a declaration?
Women make up the majority of the population and the majority of the electorate, yet the FNM, which actually does have a fairly decent track record in terms of policies and legislation geared toward women, is now treating its female parliamentarians like trash. Splendid. I don't favor politicians based on gender, but that does not mean I and others like me cannot see these kinds of things for what they represent and can represent in terms of voter perception and efficacy.
> Some have stepped up and written to the press under the cover of anonymity, leaked documents to the media...
If the writer truly considered this to be "stepping up", then why at the same time decry their silence? That is because one can never truly step up, hiding.
> This was the FNM of the 70s and 80s - the pre-Ingraham era. Isn’t it sad after all the time that has passed, that it finds itself back here once again?
Then, what did Ingraham actually change about the organization? If it is supposedly the way it was before he came, that strongly suggests that no tangible and lasting change was made to the organization under his leadership. It suggests he lead in manner that was able to hold things together to make sure his tenure stayed in tact, but that is not necessarily the same thing as leading the charge in building an organization beyond the point in which one encounters it. It's a leadership problem that exists nationwide.

So much for the angst against "games". FNMs writing letters and columns going on and on about the obvious but never ever being able to present voters with any answers they can look forward to or believe in.
