Well done, Mr. Pintard. You have shown that there is hope for our country yet. When this is over, please return to politics; we need honourable people like you. This also speaks to the possibilities of an FNM government. People need to look beyond leadership and look at who makes up the party.

Do not vote for a leader. Vote for the person to best represent your constituency. A party is made up of more than a leader.

I agree completely with this letter. When I first heard that Michael Scott said that white Bahamians would not support Minnis I immediately thought how arrogant he must be to appoint himself as spokesperson for white Bahamians.
I also agree that political parties are more than their leaders and as a governing or opposition party they are made up of MPs. Too much emphasis is put on who the leader is in our country.
I also believe Minnis may be a good Prime Minister if given the chance. He is more low key than our previous Prime Ministers which I think makes people believe he would not be up to the job but I think it just means he will be a different Prime Minister. Perhaps that is what we need.

Having read the "update" on this story, I would say The Tribune have a lot to answer for. It looks like irresponsible journalism where the facts were not checked. Shame on The Tribune. I feel less and less like reading this paper as the level of journalism has been sinking lower and lower and the fallout is serious when scandalous stories are being printed with no truth to them. Sir Etienne Dupuch must be turning in his grave.

"If this is true.." is the point. If the FNM are keeping things in house, who leaked this information to The Tribune? Also, I am beginning to wonder if The Tribune reporters have their own bias against Minnis. Why run this story anyway? It is hardly newsworthy. Read this story in The Guardian; it sounds like a less biased report.

I have twice had to call police for neighbours in psychotic episodes (one was drug induced). Both times the police came and calmly and compassionately dealt with the situation and persuaded the person to go to hospital (an ambulance had also come). I was impressed with the professional way they handled both situations.

If the PLP are "handed" another five year term it will be by the voters not by the FNM party. Also, I think there is too much emphasis on who the leader of the party is; we must look at the party overall. If people think the PLP need to go, then they need to vote for another party not another leader.

Where in the article does it say there was music and rum?

I think it has everything to do with the police if people convicted of crimes are released into society.

He is right in that the legal system is not dealing with offenders fast enough, hence they have to be let out on bail. Then they reoffend.
