The Bahamas should not be criticized by you using the views of late Michael Manley of Jamaica said of politics in the Bahamas. You obviously seem to be jonsering for some pseudo consultancy or advisor's position with the above party as seems many others.

If Bahamians were to compare Jamaica politician's and in your views on the Bahamas who you keeps mentioning, then you would just twice a bucketfull back at you on Jamaica.

Simply utter nonsense to be using a Jamaican politican views to thrash the Bahamas especially knowing the differences and comparisms, dynamics etc., between Bahamas string of populated islands and Jamaica. Bahamas is not Jamaica.

@Bonefish, Bahamian cronies boot lickers like yourself should take their heads out of poIiticans rears and fully know that it is after the politicians are elected that the political appointed have been made afterwards...but politicians should not be condemned for giving perview for qualified persons to be part of effecting their promises.

You will note in above that I stated in bold "should also" especially for cronies and defendants of cronies to take the bait.!!!!!.

The reason is that with the best intentions of prior utterances by campaigning and later elected politicians, the Appointed cronies, cohorts, is not in sync with politician first utterances to the electorate. Obviously Bonefish you are just one of the political shoes licking lackeys gravy train suckers willing coming out. Aspiring politicians are not denied to be open of their intentions of likely qualified persons or cronies to be in key roles.

China seeks not to dominate as many nations, ...but seeks dominance of the world relayed in reputable media and in economic sphere is likely to dominate it in a few decades. It is difficult to see peaceful mmeshing of economies or two systems existing under one when looking at the Hong Kong situation and protestors, Taiwan, Tibet, Urghurs genocide and creating fixed land masses to establish dominance in South China Seas with disputed borders, disputes with Indian border etc. Local history and tragedy in dealing with Communists powers was the Bahamas Navy boat flying Bahamian flag in Bahamian territorial waters doing lawful duties and being gunned down by Communists Migs warplanes and wickedly and evil gunning down Bahamian sailers swimming for their lives in the water. Other Communists wicked saga was stockpiking missiles on Cuba just off our border bringing Bahamas and world to extreme dangerous position, Thanks God and our brothers and sisters and JFK in the US for saving our behinds. Forgotten, NEVER. !!!!

a significant part of the effectiveness of any campaigning political party, wanting to be the next Government should also list their selections of key persons to be their politically appointed Heads and Members of the Boards of government agencies. Frankly, given the extremely poor repeatedly yearly performance of some, at great detriment to voters and future generations ....even known to by external agencies, there would not be any candidates of any political party being voted in in the first place !!!!!

Knowing the candidates also to be selected as politically appointed positions like Chairman and members of the Boards would clear up the process on whom is elected as government !!!!!

Is Her Royal Majesty's Opposition Party have a word to at least say something ??? or, on vacation ???

Good intentions. Reality is these ideal improvements are only as good as a functioning opposition sitting across the table. Regretably, those in the Opposition sit on their hands making the token outbursts, token chest thumping,arguments around Debate Parliament rules, withdrawal of statements - no substance of tangible Opposition role, just hot air doing nothing. The main play of the Opposition at forefront of party is to let the electorate know that they (blank) party can only do anything when they are elected to be the next government. Perfectly ingrained pattern merry go round or commonly known as they dont get voted in, they get voted out.

...er...need not to build and expand Fox Hill Prison for Debtors. The upsidedown world is that the Prison would be privilaged for regular meals etc., while the outside population have to beg for bowls of gruel long lines, water bills gone up water cannot be paid and looks time for the outhouse or historic metal potty inside house at night, lights off no jobs no money no electricity 24 hrs lights off, confined curfew stresses on the outside etcetc. Seems that prison is not inside Fox Hill Prison, seems Prison is on the outside with population tortured prisoners of events.

Isn't it still a co-founder of the major web shop, and partner of Mr. Bastian, a Mr. Adrian Fox a "fugative" and wanted by a US Court after all these years ???

Extremely sad. The officials should locate their cell phones to see whether the phone's torch lights were activated to illuminate the way. Really really sad.

These deals needs to be fully investigated when the politicians use thousands of acres of Bahamian property with foreign investers.. Last four including Izmirlian major deals involving thousands of acres of land....like the $2.8 billion dollars Ginn in Grand Bahama,,....the I Group some $1.8 billion dollars and thousands of acres almost all the beaches in Mayaguana,....like the recent Oban some $5.5 billion dollars in Grand Bahama.

Investigations are needed on these failed projects. The only investigations seems subsequent to these billion dollar deals and with known investigation and audit, seems to be the already known irregularity in the Govt Ministry already exposed is the usage of $582.40 (five hundred and eighty two dollars and forty cents) used to make medals with the Minister's pphoto on it, and female Minister was rightly reprimanded and forced to repay the $582.40 ...versus... the string of billion dollar failures and thousands of acres and millions in concessions..
