So we're not a country dominated by a two-party system? Last time I checked, only two parties have successfully led an Independent Bahamas - plp & fnm. This suggests that we are a strongly partisan nation. Am I wrong on that? And this will not change any time soon. PLPs will continue to vote PLP and FNMs will continue to vote FNM.
Fact is we are a strongly partisan country, divided right down the middle when it comes to our political affiliations. From observation, birdiestrachan is strongly (and I may be wrong) PLP, while the majority on the site are strongly FNM. Fact is, most would blindly support their party of choice despite of their faults. Am I wrong? FNMs will still vote FNM and PLPs will still vote PLP. This won't change any time soon.
They (Moss, Rollins) were only elected because of their affiliation with the PLP. They will not win as Independents. The only chance they will have is if they go to the FNM, but would they be welcomed in the party?
It is baffling the $60 million the guy said Carnival could generate...how is that even possible? Even the most generous guesstimates is between $2 - $10 million.
Obviously, its not just admission fees, but moneys spent on food, buying costumes, tourist (if any) arrivals, nights in hotels (if any), renting cars (again if any) etc. I'll admit though, $50 million seems a bit of a stretch. Wishful thinking.

10,000 tourists for BJC is a bit too generous, maybe a couple hundred. lol
