Carl Culmer calls himself an accomplished "leader" in many social circles ........... but how can he as FNM Chairman be so docile and reactive in his capacity, while looking for excuses not to rein in one executive member of the organization???????????

This expose clearly explains why Bahamian (political) organizations are so dysfunctional because they do not understand how leadership functions ............ one person (regardless of the title) has NO right to hold an organization hostage in a democratic society. There are four major types of male leaders and it is hard to pinpoint where Culmer falls.

Culmer as FNM Chairman had every right to confront Minnis and settle these matters internally. Instead, he waited 5-7 years later to come to the media with his sad story about why he could not function (effectively) as Chairman in the FNM ............... He was a weak leader.

So, if Culmer is supporting Pintard now, both have failed as senior FNM executives in the past Minnis-led FNM organization. This is really a sad revelation to read.

Youri Kemp will be on a PLP political hitlist from today moving forward ............ he will be driven from this country.

Any word on what happened to the Auditor General??????? ........... Everybody is quiet

Simon Wilson was FS under Christie & Davis ............... Minnis put him in a corner office at Central Bank.

Wonder why?????????

Now we know ......................

AMEN

Based on what Santander is saying .......... the New Day government is engaged in serious "kangaroo economics" when it comes to balancing the budget.

That is nice for saying that it is a lot of "Brave bullshit talk"

How does a Bahamian Government/Cabinet debate a budget in May/June that does not take effect until July 1 .......... and then they do not have the hard copy financial records for three months of the previous budget cycle??? That alone is just simply crazy Math.

So, they only have hard copy records for three quarters (July to March) .......... they project what the final quarter statistics will be for the last quarter (April to June) .......... then they use these "ghost figures" to stand up in Parliament and talk all kinds of garbage and make all kinds of promises.

No wonder that our country has a national budget of $12 billion and there is NO accountability when it comes to our national/MOF finances. Everything is based on "projections".

Most Out Island airports still bear the relics of the UBP infrastructure ........ Public buildings, be it schools, clinics, airports, docks, roads or admin offices are either lacking, obsolete, under-utilized, or in serious disrepair.

It is a crying shame that the black majority PLP & FNM governments have only whitewashed the relics instead of developing the islands over the past 60 years.

If a political party cannot conduct free and fair internal elections ............ can you imagine what will happen when it is running the national government?????

We have already seen the kangaroo elections within the PLP ......... now the Pintard-led FNM seems to be going down the same rabbit hole.

The democratic processes in 242 are slowly but surely been eroded to a point where it cannot be seen as espousing Westminster principles of fairness and integrity in governance.

Porcupine ............ I don't know where you reside in the 242.

However, I can feel your pain.

For an Out Islander (because Nassau doesn't treat us as Family), services by BTC, Cable, banks & the other SOEs are declining by the year. Just consider Bahamasair cost of tickets increase in the past 3 years.

Quality of life is declining while the cost of living is increasing ........... Taxes, fees, add-ons etc. are making life very difficult to enjoy for the average Bahamian income earner (less than 50K pa).

Exposed2C ....... The Chinese are slowly buying up the Western Hemisphere just as the Arabs are buying up Africa.

The West prides itself on capitalism ....... The East is beating the West at its own capitalist game.

So be it ..........
