... how about 2 terms for politicians with no pension thereafter. How about cutting the PM's pension in half? How about only allowing any living person to only collect one pension from the government, so that a person is not getting a pension as a former PM's wife and one as a former Governor General for instance?
How about politicians making suggestions that will reduce the pressure on the public purse??
... sadly, all a person has to do now is get elected leader of their party and if they hold on long enough, they will become PM as the pendulum swings! We need real election reform, starting with only 2 term for MP's and the PM. Politics has become a career for far too many! Politicians who qualify for pensions should only be able to access that after the age of 65!

25 year old mother of two children by two different men! Wonder if she could put those accomplishments on her resume!
Screwed up people raising screwed up children, resulting in a screwed up society!
... the government enabled people like Sebas to suck the lifeblood out of poor communities. If Sebas was interested in national service, he would stop taking money from gamblers, teach people the importance of education, not having children before you could afford them, how to save, invest and build financial futures. But no, even though he has enough money and legitimate business interests, he now wants more power. Not for the national interest but for his own, because the only thing that can satisfy him and people like him is " just a little bit more"!
... the last time the Bahamian people voted on something (referendum of gambling) the government did the opposite and instead of nationalizing gambling (which would have been against the will of the people) they decided to allow a few private individuals to reap hundreds of millions of dollars in benefit instead! My level of faith in any government, especially the PLP is less than zero!
