Know your history dude. Not true. The UBP had the plan. When the PLP came to power they killed it. Apparently keeping people poor stupid and needy garnered more votes. It's why the PLP always wins in the grassroots areas.
He's 'singling' out the white people because everyone knows the white knights have been supporting the FNM for years and Hubbigity was their "boy".
They cannot physically run the country any more (aka no more UBP) so they run governments with their "money". The FNM is their party of choice and with Minnis at the helm, their control is diminished or ends
Believe it not, there is power in money. You do not have to be in the chair of power but you fund a party that is running for an election, and if they win, then that puts you in a position of power. You can pick up the phone and call in any favour and they cannot deny you. Case in point - the Numbers boys and the PLP - which legalized gambling despite the "no" vote.
With no more HAI, the white knights need another puppet - in the person of Butler-Turner.
To his credit, Minnis will not be controlled by them, so they don't like him. Loretta has agreed to be their willing servant after being in secret meetings with HAI and others for the last few years.
As "racist" as his comments appear to be, Mr. Scott is on the money.
Minnis (lackluster as he is) represents change. A change of an old old guard,
It's an end of the secret UBP era and they are simply not taking it well.
I wish LBT would just stop speaking to show them up in all their 'weak' glory. The "rift" that's now going on is like smoke. It's hiding the actual fire of the weakness in leadership of this party. I think she and the others should step back, shut up and let the chips fall where they may. Let the public be the judge.
Actually rumor, if I'm allowed to put it here, is that they plan to run Rollins in Long Island and put LBT out. All these recent announcements of candidates have not been by the FNM Council but by Dr. Minnis himself who does not have that power and spoke out of turn.

I think Scott is being honest. Just brutally so. You do know they (the White Knights) hate him for this, right?

Minnis cannot be controlled. For the FNM and the old UBP that is CHANGE.

Ah well. So much for the PM's hope and help is on the way talks.
They should have just left Izmirilian alone. They're in bed with the wrong side. SAD.

He's clearly backpedaling. The longer these woes continue, the less inclined anyone would be to vote this party in.

I know Pintard shame! I don't blame her for exposing his hiney!
This rumor has been out for a while that they were planning on outing her and having Rollins run. Boy I tell ya.
I think I will abstain from voting in the next election. I cannot vote for the PLP and I cannot support foolishness!
