You need to go a read history of anyplace. . .especially the Bahamas. . .or just stop being disingenuous. . .start with the 1984 Commission of Inquires report for the Bahamas. . .you know not what you speak about. . .

How the Magna Carta could not prevent Pop's anti-black vote flys in the face of woman suffrage in 1952. . .black man voting in the Bahamas forever since before woman suffrage in 1952. . .the same Magna Carta that militated against slave ownership in the colonies in 1800s. The PLP was formed in 1953. . .before then there was not hindrances to black man voting. . .providing he had land. . .which was a tenant of Home Rule prejudices. . .not local UBP! The world over since 1798 (French revolution era) to Haiti revolution 1805 would allow desertion of vote through color except the USA. . .which digressed into her civil war for the same reason. . .slavery and one man one vote!! The magna carta led the charge for non-discriminatory governance against the black man in the hemisphere!! As for the childish quibs. . .it will be soooooo refreshing to engage a mind that refuses to decent to poor political based reasoning skills. . .with delight!

He is not a nationalist. . .more like a PLPist. . .Don Quixote of national politics in vogue. . .lost soul. . .no-man's land in common sense!!

Point taken. . .

My my how we go about “shooting out” information that we have not thought through carefully. . .or even know about! For example, Mr. Symonette refused majority rule. . .opposed woman’s vote. . .opposed independence?!
Here goes. . .a) the Home office (Magna Carta), which was the government in the colony of the Bahamas and Order in Chief 1959 guaranteed the elective governments by majority rule. . .so to say that Sir Symonette refused majority rule in the Bahamas just makes no dang sense in seminal reasoning! How the heck he was going to do that in a colony governed by the Home Office?
b). About his opposition to woman’s vote just een making no sense either since the argument for no voting woman was between the Elks Lodge who agitated for woman’s vote in America and was granted in 1950.. .and they were successful against the home office Government in the Bahamas. . .not the UBP who became a political party 1954 or 5. . .the PLP in 1953! So as a Bahamian male. . .who had not power to influence the decision either way. . .he may have spoken as other black and white males who did not want woman to be equal with them. . .that feeling was a man thing all over the world.. . I would venture to say even LOP held such views!! Remember who was LOP political mentor. . Robert Mugabe. . . and Buster Mantee. . .and such pensive despots. . .so it is not a stretch to think he held such Plutonian ideals of a republic!!
c). Read the book “Pindling” where LOP himself tells you that he was alone with that decision among PLP and UBP. . .he “swing them” by putting forward the idea to the people to save his butt politically. . .and just as he expected. . .those who would opposed him would be seen as anti-Bahamian and get voted out of office.
Read Bahamas Read. . .stop following Fred Mitchell’s myopic nonsense. . .as for Mr. Davis calling other people anti-intellectual talks.

Get ya information right. . .hint. . .suffrage was in 1950. . .Home office was the government at the time. . .the rift was between HO and Elks in America. . .HO granted suffrage in 1952. . .the PLP nor UBP were around. . .PLP came 1953 and the UBP a few years later!!

How the heck he was going to do that in a colony governed by the Home Office or in any other nation around the planet? When ya act dumb ya could be dangerous nah!!

Then show how he is wrong. . . I happen to think he/she is right. . .about how things went down hill. . .Pindling stopped plenty developments just to remain top dog!! You should read some of his own writing how he was opposed to the point of no confidence vote when he "jook in" the independence idea to create a verge between himself and his detractors in the PLP and the public. . .he was a master of "wrangling himself out hot water" with major projects that were "big" in the people's eyes and would make opposing MPs as anti-people! Hs was so slick that very few people don't know it was Milo Butler who threw thew Mace out of the HOA window. . .then Pindling ran down like it was him!!

The key word for blinded PLPs is seminal contribution. . .establishing our two primary economic pillars (tourism and banking) which brought us to 3rd highest GDP in the western atmosphere. . . formed a family conglomerate that is the biggest in the country. . .without tiefing of poor people lands. . .heritage is the biggest loan component for a cross-section of Bahamians. . .something all the PLPs put together did not get even close. . .the primary national hero he is. . .the facts speaks for itself!!

Spppsssssssssssssstttttt. . .we don't live in yinna heads. . .ya have to make ya point clear. . .all than bitterness getting in the way of us understanding you!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. . .what a breath of fresh air. . .laying down the facts as they are and holding the torch for nobody!!!
