The Chinese are the only global investors willing to put money out right now ........ they want to get as close to the US market as possible .... we can spark a US-EU-China "highest bidder takes all" for the Freeport lease if there are any American or European investors up to the fight.
But right now Freeport is becoming a national liability
GBPA is a finished case ........... 60 years into the GBPA & Hawksbill Creek Agreement, the tank is empty. Jack Hayward, Edward St. George and their Bahamian minions have emptied the chest and now the pirates have fled with all of the booty ............. The only chance is to put the nail in the coffin buy out GBPA & Freeport .......... all 100,000 acres of it to the Chinese ........ they own half of it now. Then ask all Bahamians to vacate Freeport City and lease Freeport to the Chinese for at least $1 Billion a year for ten years, witha aright to renew the lease every ten years.
In my humble opinion.............. the government and the private sector are deliberately setting this VAT thing up to be a failure to PROVE to the IMF/S&P/Moodys etc that VAT cannot work in The Bahamas despite their insistance on "tax reform".
Whether we like it or not the Bahamian politicians will find a way to "out-slick" the IMF fellas.
Bahamians do not like to change ............ this is classic passive-active resistance at the national level.
Government is not PLP or FNM ............ crime is a national issue that requires bi-partisan effort. This is not like the politicised gender vote (that the PLP hi-jacked in 2002).
Safety, security and piece of mind of the citizen is a function of government.
ALL three branches of Government (Legislative, Executive & Judiciary) are responsible.

Yep ................. what goes around comes around. Now the PLP wants a constitutional referendum on the death penalty. The PLP is in a conundrum.
