The PLP should sit small and shut up! If they had not wasted so much borrowing and wasting, we would have a bit more room to figure out how to respond to the current crisis. The PLP leadership are an integral part of why we are in the state we are in! Brave Davis and his minions are an absolute waste of time!
actually what is of priority is the approximately 40%higher incidence of mental illness in that demographic that is unrelated to social pressures or bullying! Single mothers are far more likely to suffer harassment, discrimination and other pressures on a job because of the obvious disadvantage (lower education, dependents etc). BTW heterosexual women and men are both seeing increases in physical, emotional and substance abuse at this time. No one is immune. These issues are larger than a particular demographic!
Although I am against gambling, this is an opportunity to create a national lottery with the appropriate controls and remove the flow of cash into the hands of a few who have pillaged the over the hill community all these years!
Increase stamp tax on sale of properties over $2 million and start taking legal action against cruise ships that pollute in our waters.
Go rogue against the OECD and find creative ways to attract offshore business again.
Update fines for various criminal offences as well. There are many other ways to increase revenue without hurting the law abiding small man!
... the most obvious flaw in your statement is that the president of a federalist system does not have the power that the PM of a constitutional democracy has. Trump does not get to control what happens on the state level. Is he responsible for what is happening in New York for example? Minnis's power is felt at a very individual level, as the 'competent authority' what he says goes and much of what he says and does, does not make sense. For instance why lock down an island to local movement that has had zero cases of covid from March (eg. Eleuthera) but not lock down an island like Bimini at the time that had a confirmed covid case from April. No he decides to do it recently when spread has already taken place? Makes no sense!!
... you are right! Sensitizing a population with 50% unemployment, an expected $900 million deficit and a national debt that will be in excess of $10.5 billion, on LGBT issues is of the utmost priority at this time!
@Topdude... it is because of large numbers of voters like you that dimwits like Minnis will continue to rule us into oblivion! Review Taiwans response to this pandemic and then compare ours.
... a thirst and taste for power is not my concern it is how that power is managed. The history of this country, Haiti and Black led African nations suggest we as Black people do not know how to handle power for the general good or the legacy of our nations, but only for our own immediate interests!

Black men and power just don't seem to go together very well. The incompetent authoritarian just does not want to give up his grip on power!
