Do you know how they "rushed" it? By tabling the bill for VAT at the same time that they tabled the Bills for the Constitutional Amendments. While the public was in an uproar over the Constitutional Bills (which was probably set up as the distraction), they simply went ahead and debated VAT. We never knew what hit us. We were too distracted.
Boy, I gatta give it to the PLP. They know how to work the system.
Prima facie, yes citizenship is not automatic. But outside of any national security issues, you can apply as a foreigner and will likely get it especially if it is entrenched in the Constitution. They cannot deny you.
Boy Rollins, I guess it's just a matter of time. I applaud you, though, for standing up but I'm now listening for the fallout as for sure you will be gone after this. The good part is that you would be an excellent asset to the Opposition. They can use your fire.
He has no difficulty with the amendments. That doesn't mean he will voting "yes". I think a lot of persons had a difficulty with the wording. Now that the wording can be understood, we still have the right to vote NO.
Unwed Bahamian men (some of whom are just sperm donors) passing on automatic citizenship to their children? Jesus, the city will be full of Jamaican, Cubans and the like before we could say "AH!".
Actually the full story is now circulating on social media with names, places, dates, etc.
No shock. These people are all in it for the money and kickbacks hence the race to give up their day jobs for Parliament. God, it must be sweet to serve!
I agree with Mr. Miller. If you are man enough to take on a wife, then you should be able to take care of her in your native land.
With regard to this so-called gender equality, if you are going to amend the Constitution, then amend it so that the right is taken away from the man and make everyone toe the line - male and female. That way the law is impartial to no one.
