Exactly, the comments here make me laugh, they are sometimes too reactionary.

This is mostly a PR exercise. Until we see what happens on the ground (i.e nominations, candidates, delegates), there’s not much going on here. The election is right here, and I really hope these set know that they are fighting PLP machinery, with seemingly low voter registration mixed in for extra uncertainty. I'd love to see what's happening with the DNA base.

This is not looking good...

Zakary says...

Exactly. I’ve always thought that Article 73 was written in a way to trick people into believing just that. It makes reference to "party" two or three times I think.

Zakary says...

True, I only have a high school education and I understand that those two offices are not constitutionally linked.

Zakary says...

The conditions for that are much different, and more difficult.

Zakary says...

So...if they had no plans to resign from the party, can someone take a wild guess as to what the super secret elaborate plan entails?

Again, we are too obsessed with who is leading a party rather than understanding what is at stake, and looking at the long game.

People are literally dividing and conquering themselves, no joke. I’m starting to remember exactly why this country is so messed up with a bunch of crazies steering the ship.

This is a great article.

What is their end game? Are they going to create their own party?

I honestly thought you’d do a vote of no confidence only if Minnis ever became Prime Minister. Isn’t that the point of all those credible people he nominated?

Naturally, I don’t know what going in these people’s head or who’s advising them, but this is quickly looking to be a badly made sitcom.

By the way, Minnis would/will not relinquish the reins of the FNM, so if that was the goal, then unfortunately this move will not work.

And the opposition never had much a chance of being “strong” anyway. The seats that were retained after 2012, were that of all the scrubs, and none of the heavy hitters. Relatively speaking, Loretta simply looked better because of the mediocrity of the others.

MPs like Shane, Fred, and Fritz would school Loretta (Minnis is always a given) every other week in Parliament.

I’ll give Loretta the benefit of the doubt (no I don’t, lol) but if they hand this country back to PLP, they’ll go down as some of the dumbest politicians in my book.
