I don't know if NEMA's mandate is looking after natural resources. It might be... but Darville is talking about a plan to protect the natural environment, since BNTs mandate is conservation it fits, and theyd have the human resources to develop that plan
They should focus on one or 2-5 seats. Get good candidates and seek financial backing for those limited few with a plan in hand. The goal is to be in the house to be prepared professional and put forward solutions. The funding would have to cover a reasonable salary for the candidates (if elected) because they would have to shine and to do that it should be a fulltime job.
Extremely difficult and would require truly extraordinary and influential leaders to pull off. An Obama/King type individual
True. **We are suffering from decades of moving unqualified people to the top ranks of administration. Unqualified people have a vested interest in stifling ingenuity, talent and hard work**. If they dont get there on merit they must shift the paradigm. They do it by amassing "things" and shift the mindset of the masses that possession of "things", no matter how you get them is the definition of success. Hence Sebas.
The party system in the FNM and the PLP is the main driver of this phenomenon. They appoint people based on who supports me. The *my supporters* mantra is so embedded in us one MP stood up on the floor a weeks ago complaining that he was denied the opportunity to hand contracts to his people. And nobody took note of it. This man just openly admitted to a corrupt practice on the floor of the house responsible for drafting laws of the country. He is why talent doesn't flourish
They collected a billion in VAT in 2015. THEY were surprised. And immediatrly they started spending what we didnt have and dug us an even deeper hole, before Dorian
"*We don’t just pay your rent for you to go and live somewhere and find out you don’t have a job and then what’s going to happen then? Really it’s for persons who could somewhat assure us that they could get some sort of assistance on the outside so they don’t always depend on the state.*"
Also social services is reinstituting the Rise program, by its stated goals it was very well designed. Families would receive assistance but would have goals attached to thst assistance that they had to meet. The goals were specifically designed to get them off of social services. I recall the program was discontinued and got very poor ratings from the IDB for execution. Hopefully this time they have a project team who can see to execution of the program to meet its social and reporting objectives
The weird thing is I think we have all the money we need to fix roads every year. The problem is the money keep dropping in the hole into somebody pocket... ok they say that dont happen cuz someone have eagle eyes on the treasury and no money is go out without them knowing. .. in that case.. dropping in the hole and falling into somebody overinflated and outrageously priced and poor quality delivered contract
Also we have really world class talent who are deliberately kept down. There is an active move to suppress growth. We call it victimization. Dont know him personally but Jimmy is clearly a world class athlete. There are many others here who just dont get the right soil under their feet.... by design of the masters
To be honest what exactly does the FNM lose if they do lose the killarney seat. With only 7 people in the house they cant influence a thing. They cant present any more bills, argue any more points, stage anymore protests than they could do with 6.
What do they gain if Minnis disappears. They get rid of a huge distraction and they have an opportunity for another FNM not currently in the house to shine
Well have to wait to see what a 30k donation buys these days...They say in the old days 100 dollars for a vote was the exchange for a seat in parliament and construction of a million dollar home. How many people in a constituency 1000?...So max 50k
