Let's be clear. Radio is different from government agencies. ZNS is the people's station, and people have a right to disagree with views different form the government. A new government has rights to have new chairman of corporations, ambassadors, ett. However, radio announcers is totally out of line. It means then that unless you say what the government wants you to say on the radio then you are out. That only should happen in countries that want to control free speech. When they take any the right of free speech, it will not be long before they take away all your rights and make you a slave. MLK said it best, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." It may not be you today, but it could be you tomorrow.
It is good to see that someone finally makes the point that the PL did not win more than 50% of the vote. I wonder if Perry Christie feels he now has the moral authority to lead this nation. When the FNM won the government in 2007 with less than 50% of the vote, Perry Christie was allover crying that the FNM did not have the moral authority to lead having less than 50% of the vote. Fast forward to 2012, and his party received less than the 50% so he needs to tell the public that he does not have the moral right to lead this nation.
It amazes me what politicians will say and promise, just to get in and once they get in their talk changes.
This is now a good time for the FNM to reunite, move out some of the old guard and faces, work the ground. Don't do like the PLP and whine for 5 years about urban renewal and all the other stuff. Present to the Bahamian people alternatives to the government plans and support when it is good, and hold them accountable. 2017 is coming.
