There is political red-meat and then there is over-the-top remarks. We are still very much a democracy and the PM/FNM was democratically elected. To suggest otherwise with phrases like "poisoned our democracy" and "intoxicated with power" is turning a wheel that itself is counter to our democracy and cannot so easily be shut off. More profoundly, it is self-revealing: It uncovers the naked, odious odor of a weak soul that is heavily burdened with all but three of the Seven Deadly Sins: There is evidence of Pride, Wrath, Envy, and Lust. This is monumental, almost Shakespearean. A tragic figure no less in an unfolding tragedy. The FNM victory ensures an irretrievable career for Mr McCartney.
It amazes me how politically savvy this man, Hubert Ingraham is. Spot on with his political calculation that we witnessed in the last 9 days. The crowning jewel, which, I am convinced will be the reason ALL of the Family Islands voting for the FNM was The Red Splash: an absolute stroke of genius
I agree, both scenario suggest a bias towards the FNM, however, the storyline/theme has been very skillfully shaped by the FNM (even to the point where you make distinctions in your argument referencing the 80s!) It is less about "the mess" and more about leadership. It comes to this: Are there fewer persons who support Hubert Ingraham compared with those who will support the PLP among the swing voters. I would argue that there are persons in that category who supported the FNM in the past and are now questioning their future endorsement of the party, but there is substantially more persons who will not support the PLP and its leadership or lack thereof.

PEOPLE, this is NOT a scientific POLL. There are some PLP operatives trolling the website and multiple voting... Wait, why am I surprised at that?
