Obie represent Bimini, the most unethical environmental disaster in the past 10 years. He should be too shamed to open his mouth on this topic. And yet...
The truth is, its a shame that this corrupt and backwards country EVER made the list.
My favourite is the light touch approach. That's specifically for Brave Davis and Co and the like, so they don't have to spend they're easily stolen money on taxes.
I think we need a separate PM or executive as well. I think one of the reasons other parliaments in bigger countries work better (relatively to ours anyways) is because there are so many parties you have to form coalitions and take sides on certain issues with other parties or against other parties etc. Here, one party wins the majority, get the PM position, and has complete control. The opposition just sits there and occasionally slings some mud but generally you're stuck with one set of crooks in total control without any balance from the other ganstas.
DNA really screwed this up by running a bunch of half baked and criminal candidates just to fill out the rooster. They should have just focused on winning a few (3-6? a few more maybe?) seats with excellent candidates, leaving the FNM and PLP more or less tied and then being able to cast the deciding votes. Could really revolutionize our crappy parliament. But, no, it seems to me the DNA are more interested in being just one more gang/tribe with nothing really to add to this political country.
Man I love reading what the PM said. Hard to believe he actually even went to school much less passed the bar:
"What the concern is I have no idea, except to say this: that people who have had the right to their property must expect that a government coming wanting to develop the waterfront, is doing it on the basis that from the time they own the property, people never had access to the waterfront and that the studies we have done, the public studies that we have done, indicated that for the future of the city of Nassau, people should be given access to the waterfront because we have one of the most beautiful waterfronts and that is exactly our intention of our government; but to do it in association with the people who own the development.”
