That is exactly what will happen and it will show clearly no new day and a government not willing to make the hard choices that have to be made.

But do not forget, the 2% reduction in VAT is only for 1 year.

It is amazing that Christie does not recognize that the snap election was not the primary reason people did not show up.. The choice between Minnis and Davis was the reason. No matter which one got elected, things would not get better but only worse.

The sad reality that so many people are ignoring is that the PLP said they would cut VAT to 10% for 1 (ONE) year. Amazing how people keep missing that. But like Malcolm X said, you been had, bamboozled, run amuck, hoodwinked.

The fact that Davis believes that people did not turn out to vote because of a so called snap election (which he was advocating for but now trying to distance himself from, always calling for Minnis to ring the bell) is symptomatic of the fact that he is not a leader, does not have hindsight, insight, or foresight, and does not wish to admit that the people did not want Minnis and they did not want Davis either.

It is amazing like you say how people still like to pull this UBP boogeyman garbage as if people under 50 really know anything about it or even care.

Talk to millennial about it and they would look at you with a blank stare.

Plan and simple when you loose touch with people, they loose touch with you and move you out.

It is about leadership that listens and our country has not had any since 2000.

Some may disagree with you, but if they do they are only blindly ignoring the truth os what Bahamian people have been doing ever since 2002. The facts are the facts! Sad, very sad, but true.

I disagree with you.

We know that the party system is stacked with persons in favour of the current leader and not average persons who will be needed to vote out a leader.

If Minnis believes in democracy and the Westminster System, he would do what the system calls for. If the Prime Minister loses the election, they resigned. Ingraham was the first to show that what you do. Not even Pindling or Christie followed the Westminster system thy so much propped up.

You make some signifcant points and I can resonate with all except the last. Davis has not learned anything. In fact, he will be worse than Minnis.

Sadly, we believe that putting a person in a position will all of a sudden cause them to act as should be. No successful business puts a person in a position of leadership who does not have track record to support they can perform.

It wasdone with Minnis, and the people blindly and without thinking did the same with Davis.

Not only that, every cycle sine 1997 we have been electing Prime Minister's older each time and the result is worst each time.

The low voter turnout clearly shows that the public was not interested in Minnis or Davis. An opposition party that can find a real leader similar to the young Hubert Ingram pre 1992, will electrify the populous.

The Bahamas needs leadership, not position holders.

Oh my goodness! There goes the country.

Maybe you should stop being so beholden to a political party and become beholden to your country.

Hutchison held all the cards in the deal. They could have chosen not to sell and then just closed the airport down. This was clearly a no win situation for the government. No government, irrespective of the party in power, could have done better.

You don't believe it? Ask the operator of Memories what Hutchinson did to then to cause Memories to fold.

Let's stop being political and look at the fact that we as a country have not taken the lead to invest in our own nation, but always want someone else to do it. Then we blame the government when it does not work. Maybe it is time we start looking in the mirror ourselves.

I'm done posting. I'm about making a difference and doing something!
