Bahamians have no one to blame but themselves.

There are many banking options besides Canadian banks.

Start with a local credit union ....... Become a shareholder in a local institution.

Bahamians can't easily own shares in Canadian banks.

He won't have too many realms to reign over soon.
Doubt if 242 will leave. SLOP made sure of that.

The referendum was held last year on Minnis.
Bahamians voted for worse. Just too bad.

We vote for the leaders of parties now, almost like a President in a republic. That is because we have little confidence that the MPs will stand up and represent their constituents, and not their selfish ambitions. That is the failure of our system - MPs who serve their party leaders.

Amen to that. SLOP was of Yardie heritage. He looked out for the people from down South.

The true true Bahamian way of life in this country is dying because our leaders embraced a "foreign is better" policy.

Don't mind the Bahamianization talk. Look at the record.

QE2 era is over ....... The Bahamas will be 50 next year.

We need to think seriously about our national future. Holding on to the monarchy is like holding on to a lifeboat in the middle of a hurricane. No one knows where it will end up.

Do you call our system "excellent"????

Pindling and his cronies knew just how to manipulate the Constitution so that he and his protoges would stay in power, uncontested by the people and bastardized by crooked, corrupt MPs in the House of Assembly. We are reaping that right now.

Agree. No sense of switching to another toothless President with a PM who is a constitutional dictator as we have now.

Tear up the 1973 Constitution and set up a federal system with a President and unicameral Parliament. The Family Islands need some real local government.

That requires a referendum. DOA

We haven't forgotten the PLP tricks in the last two referenda

Who is mourning????

Will they give these homes to the persons whose domes they just demolished????
