... I guess no austerity measures are needed in these fiscally challenging times. Only the plebs need to tighten their belts!

... the best way to deepen our democracy is to not allow people like Mitchell to make a career in politics. No Bahamian should vote for any person who has been in politics for 10 years or more, ever. Politics should be a public service, not a career!

But the real question is what is their plan if and or when a more deadly strain arises!
