At least this is the first Speaker of the House who is not just following the party line but trying to make a difference.

*“The rule is, in my estimation, undemocratic and not in the best interest of the minorities in Parliament because they will never have the majority vote. This is not a new issue. For a while I took the position that you should eat what you serve. Don’t put rules in place when you are in government that you cannot live with when you’re in opposition, particularly undemocratic rules.

“But I don’t think it’s the role of the Speaker to sit by and accept something that he knows is wrong and undemocratic. No matter what party he’s elected under, he has a moral obligation to make sure the principles are carried out.”*

I applaud Moultrie for what he is doing. If e truly follow through on this, he will do what no other speaker has had the backbone to have done. Kudos Mr. Speaker.

Sure better than Gravy train Davis and hid bandits of raiders.

Make sure put the blame here it need to go. The Commissioner of Prisons lied. The Minister shared the facts. No political rhetoric is needed

Election fraud? Seriously?

A permanent register is the most sensible thing. It ensures the democratic right of every Bahamian to vote. No longer do you have to go through the ridiculous process of registering every 5 years.

Further, it would hopefully do away with the stupidity of people who register on the day parliament is dissolved not being able to vote.

This is the move in the right direction for democracy and the rights of each citizen to vote.

I'm really trying to figure out who are the people who are jumping to get on a cruise ship now? Just because the cruise ship is booking I guess Maura figure it will be full of people? A floating catastrophe.

How do we know if what Fred is saying is truth? He didn't provide one piece of evidence for his claim. What was filed? By whom? Where is the receipt showing the court received it? This dubious claim should not even be reported.

*“I think the matter as it relates to the funeral at the cemetery was addressed already,” he told reporters yesterday. “I don’t know if there’s much more that I can add to it other than to say it did happen and that’s about as much — I couldn’t say why the persons (were there) but there were three funerals that were going on side by side and, of course, when people see the police, they love the police and they came over.*

Does the Commissioner take us for fools? People love the police so they came over to see? When was the first time I went to a burial in a graveyard and saw another funeral with the police and said let me go over cause I love them so I need to see? You can't make this stupidity up from ignorant leaders. Clearly the police did not police themselves on this matter.

Could someone help me understand how prisoners who are in lockup can get the corona virus? Prisoners are not allowed to roam free in the community? So if a prisoner has it it means that they were given it by a prison officer who brought it into the prison.

Beyond that, the Commissioner is a plain idiot. To believe that in a free society the press cannot bring up certain things or question him on it. Guess he has been in the prison too long.

Sensible democracies have fix election dates. Fake democracies have this snap elections dates. Someone please tell me what is the fixation with an early election? It is high time we set a fixed date for elections and stop this stupidness of having only one person knowing the date of election.
