Unfortunately the electorate is in the bottom half of the Caribbean as far as literacy. If this was not the case, perhaps The Bahamas would choose a new direction as Canada has. The other problem facing this nation, is the choices for leadership at present no matter what the level of education, It appears the political elite of both parties have it exactly where they want.
90% of this is self serving PR along with the stomach staples. Does one need to fly in a chopper if that weight could be better served carrying supplies!
Independence ushered in "sunshine" styled oppression of the masses very cleverly disguised. Indeed, its benefactors will be as the camel seeks to enter the eye of the needle and find no Paradise.

Canada is in recession and warning their people to avoid The Bahamas. The EU is teetering on disaster. Given The Bahamas is publicly rowing with its largest investor and stating future investors should be psycho-analyzed, I would imagine Cuba is looking pretty interesting to US investors more and more. I guess the PM knows something that the ratings agencies and the rest of us do not.
