Flyingfist wants to get rid of the first past the post electoral system because it results in a 2-party political system, A little learning is a dangerous thing. The English 2-party system of governing has worked better than all else for hundreds of years. Getting rid of it for proportional representation instead will always result in a weak government coalition of several different parties. Such a government has difficulty getting any effective legislation passed without compromises that undermine its effectiveness. There are several examples of this over the past 50 years or so.

The first King Charles was such rubbish that we had to separate hi head from his body. King Charles the Second was a dissolute waste of space who through his stupidity caused the death of thousands; see; Reasons behind t he Battle of Culloden. Let us all trust that King Charles will not follow the examples of his two namesake predecessors. Long Live The King, and Paddington Bear too.

If I understand this article correctly then the firing of 90 workers saved the company 3 million dollars. So, it costs a million dollars in wages, so, to keep every 30 employees, it seems like you need long dollars in this country to be able to employ people. The government has over twenty thousand workers on its payroll which explains the country's downward economic spiral.

This columnist writes: ""Biden condemned them en masse as unfit to participate in the nation’s democracy." Well, no, President Biden did not do any such thing. He was referring to instead the Ex-President Trump's supporters who entered the Capitol Building in a failed attempt to stop Vice=President Pence from affirming the Electoral College result. Where is this former diplomat getting his information from?

The government consists of well over twenty thousand paid government workers. After the last election there was a change of; about 30 people, having been elected; and about another60 or so, having been appointed; but essentially we have the same twenty thousand state employed workers who could get almost nothing achieved in the rebuilding of Abaco in three whole years. They did manage to spend 30 million dollars or so collecting post Dorian debris. How is it possible to be so ineffective for so long while wasting so much of our tax[payers money? And don't even let get me started on the potholes infesting most of our roads.........

Most of , or perhaps every, police force have some policemen who are crooked. For instance the California Serial killer in California unmasked only decades after his notoriety as the Hillside tangler. The London Metropolitan Police Force recently had a similar officer albeit on on a smaller scale. It would be foolish to believe that the Bahamas has no crooked police officers. A crooked police officer will carry a ""throw down gun." This gun is planted on a person who has been shot and killed as a justification for the killing. And this is why it is so important that people killed by the police and accused of producing a firearm have their hands tested for gunpowder residue to ascertain if they have indeed discharged a firearm. Of course this will never actually happen and the country will continue to record one of the highest rates of police killings in the world. Sad really.

This particular administration it seems will avoid anything controversial as a matter of policy. It is also almost impossible for the media to interview any cabinet member as needed as the Firewall choirmaster stands largely n the way.

And no mention of the PLP goon squads and the Lewis Yard attack. How quickly we forget.

I can only wonder what the government employees at this tourist centre are actually going to do for 40 hours each and every week. I would get so bored doing nothing and achieving nothing each day.

If people would first; stop funding their various pastors expensive lifestyle they would have 10% more to spend on food. secondly; stop optimistically giving millions of dollars every year to the gambling houses, and lastly avoid processed and takeout restaurant food. Make your own sandwiches for lunch.
