.....the old guard of the FNM want a funeral director to lead them. Guess they will provide more efficiency when dealing with the bodies left behind by crime.

....what credibility The Bahamas had is now gone. Investors and resort operators would rather deal with a communist regime in Cuba. Get used to it. When Brookfield finds a buyer for Atlantis, they will cut their losses and catch the first flight out.

...the difference is that the casinos derive their revenue from foreigners and not the food off the table from locals.

...sure! The US has over 300 mass shootings per year. I don't see where any ministry sends any condolences on the mass shootings anytime, even when involving school children but hey, we are dealing with sissies here!

...so while crime is successfully eroding away tourism and shutting down any normalcy of life in Nassau what do the aspiring "leaders" offer as remedy? Nothing! Not one plan has been brought forth from prime minister wannabees including the fat woman and the short man. The only motivation politicians have is to control the country's national purse. They have no idea how to manage a small nation of 300,000. Both political parties have done a wonderful job in creating a couple of generations that can hardly read and write but now the genie of out of the bottle. While the blame constantly flows back to days of non-majority rule and beyond, this still does not eradicate the fact that in less than 50 years the stewardship of both political parties has all but destroyed the country and despite rhetoric, the "elites" lobby heavy to be on the Queen's lists for recognition. If one attends the political "elites" parties, one would assume nothing is wrong with the crescendo of laughter from those who cannot touch their toes. They should be hanging their heads in shame.

You are obviously thicker than your comments lend one to believe. Know your facts before you spatter nonsense. Burns House, backed by Heineken, bought out Butler and Sands for approx. $30 million. This was years prior to Heineken getting sick and tired of dealing with Mark Finlayson and buying out Tiger and ABDAB for a reported $100 million.

....if other " entrepreneurs" had access to the tens of millions his family received from Heineken and the financial backing of Lyford Cay, then they too would probably be expanding and making a lot less noise beating their chest about it.

.....this woman's own constituency did not even follow her lead so now she points fingers - again! The only reason the old guard in her adopted party push her for leadership is they can manipulate her for their own agendas. All they have to do is wave plates of food in her direction.

.......b_ _ _ _h, take that!!

.......does anyone expect a population with a considerable percentage poorly educated to understand economics and logic. It will all boil down to which crew has the dollars, parties and tee-shirts that become six week fashion.
