"Slow" will always be the more operative word for Minnis when it comes to looking out for the people's interest - but "Fast" will be the applicable word as he now goes about looking out for his own interests and the interests of his select few cronies. Minnis, Symonette and D'Aguilar will be greatly emboldened and enabled by the fact that they will effectively face no opposition in the HOA.

Without a Royal Commission of Enquiry the Bahamian people will end up with a very watered down and filtered view of what actually transpired over the past five years as regards the abuses of office (criminal conduct) involving : The Baha Mar development, the 'legalization' of the gaming web shops, the BoB debacle, the Crown Land giveaways, bec/bpl, Cable Bahamas, and so on. Much will simply be swept under the rug; just wait and see. And rather than trying to shrink our bloated non-productive public sector work force, Minnis will instead focuse on increasing government taxes and fees wherever he can, all the while crying that he must do so in order to carry out the landslide mandate to govern that the people have given him and the FNM. Folks, braze yourselves - it ain't gonna be pretty!

I think it's safe to say we won't see a Minnis-led FNM government seeking justice. Minnis and his cronies would be much too busy .......well, you know what I mean.

Bahamians will be shocked to know how many high ranking FNM officials received loans, overdrafts and/or other credit advances from BoB that have been seriously delinquent for years and for which no collateral of any meaningful value was ever put up. Collie, Minnis and Hubiggity are all talk about wanting the beans spilled on who has defrauded BoB, but they know they cannot afford to press this matter any more than they have.

And so says a non-Bahamian (possibly American) whose mind is trapped in the bubble of "fake news" created by the far-left leaning media that still likes to think of itself as being main stream.

@sheeprunner12: The answer to your question is the Symonette family, the Mosko family, the Holowesko family, the D'Aguilar family and so on.

Just vote for who you believe is the best candidate running in your constituency. What more should anyone say! The good people of Killarney have a chance to vote for either of a couple of newcomers in politics, neither of whom has had the horrific dismal record that the greedy power hungry dimwitted Minnis has had as a sitting MP.

While opposition leader in the HOA, Minnis could not even handle LBT and his other fellow FNM MPs, eventually resulting in his replacement as leader of the opposition and much embarrassment for the FNM. Truth be told, Minnis is responsible for the FNM party becoming much more like the PLP party than it has ever been before. Most of us familiar with the history of the FNM party never for a moment thought we would ever see the the day when the FNM party would have a Senator like Rodney Moncur or a party leader like Sidney Collie. These two come from the very bottom of the barrel. There's just no way in hell someone like Minnis could lead the government of a country even under the best of times and conditions, so there is certainly no way he could run our Bahamas as PM in the condition it is in today. And in any event, Symonette and D'Aguilar who control the FNM party's purse strings would soon turn on the incompetent feckless and weak Minnis and this would surely give rise to civil disorder of the kind we have never seen before as part of a cataclysmic break down of our government and democracy. Minnis for PM, hell "No!"...not by my vote!
