I guess this guy has some serious amnesia and forgot that when the government he was DPM in introduced vat to the Bahamas they wanted to bring it in as 15%.
The leopard can never change its spots. No new ideas here. Same old political garbage and tribalism being thrown around about what they did. Real leaders lead. They don't play a blame game for political points.
Ok, they are some good points and I do agree with them. And if a person has not demonstrated that in the past, putting them in a position of authority does not make them that, which many appear to confuse.
Since Pindling's first term and Ingrahm's first 8 years, we have not had a PM like that since 2000.
We had been deftly devoid of that in the Bahamas and our people only vote for who has the best party when election time comes.
It has nothing to do with partisan. It has everything to do with accountability.
And number of votes does not stop one from asking questions. It is the mindset of small minded people and dictators who are afraid of questions.
Besides, number of votes mean nothing as sadly since 2012 Bahamians do not vote a PM in, they vote a PM out. So the votes do not mean the people are for you, it just mean they were not for the person who just vacated the seat.
What boards has he deliberated to make appointments on? Many of those boards were decided immediately after election. (And I have inside information).
He admitted a mistake on martital rape? So what has he done about it beside a midnight tweet?
He briught liabilities to parliament? I guess you did not read the editorial in the Tribune which take about how he ignored how the law said things were to be reported and make it same like something else. While it is good to know the information, trying to make political skull duggery out of it is the same old lame political game.
The police getting oversight? By a criminal defense attorney who will learn all their inside tricks so that when he is voted out and goes back to his criminal law practice will have the upper hand on them in defending his clients? Brilliant move there.
Ok, he signaled a conclusion to the PI matter. Let's see what that conclusion will be.
Loretta said she aligned is with the PLP and their plan. Clearly said she is not an FNM. So nothing there.
Yes, he is tipping toes now, but a dog always returns to is vomit. But, time will tell which are right.
While I wish no ill will towards him, I just no not see him having leadership ability. He may have position, but that does not equate to leadership.
My point on Davis had nothing to do with him being apart of Christie cabinet and not speaking or speaking against.
My point on Davis in the cabinet was that he had a post and never did anything with it except allow BAMSI to burin without insurance and then lie to Parliament, and that in all his years as an MP he has not dine squat for his constituency. My point is that his track record shows he is not a leader. Time will tell if I am correct.
Trust me I am consistent, and if you check my posts you will see that has always been my view. Others as you say may have said different but not me. And if you can find a "so called" alternate view you claimed I espoused, then post the evidence and I will recant.
I assume you are referring to ThisISOurs, as I NEVER referred to Minnis as a leader at no time. i watched Minnis as Opposition leaders and knew that he was never PM material. And if you claim to have me saying that produce the post!
My point on Minnis entering the 2021 election was only that Minnis would be better than Davis, as Davis has the same do nothing track record as leadership.
I have always maintained that you look at a person track record and that will tell you if they are a leader or not. I don't blindly play the political game when it comes to leadership and country. Don't confuse me with blind birdie.
For those who do not understand leadership, when you are a part of a team you can disagree. However, if the vote goes against you you do not have the right to come out of the room and then speak against what happened in the room.
Yes you can quit, but then sensible voices are lost. So while you may not agree, you still seek to try to speak truth to power while you are a part of a team and you sit at the table.
