Bahamians have this "gift" of pulling down our own ....... but look at the conditions in those countries that Bonefish is touting ........ We can have worst than Minnis (we had worse - Christie).
If we leave blind partisan politics out of the conversation, can we really honestly say that Minnis is as bad as Christie OR the last TEN years of Pindling???
Self praise is rather disingenuous .......... but criticism without power to change outcomes is "hot air"
There is a lot of "hot air" out there about what the Government should have done post-Dorian, but the real question to ask the Opposition is: what would you have done differently??
Armchair quarterbacking is very easy ........... being in the heat of the game is real
This is the problem with so-called enlightened commenters like Wallace ........ She calls the serving women public figures "weak" while complaining about the "lack" of women in power.
Is she looking for Dame Doris Johnson or Janet Bostwick to be politically resurrected????????
Strong women can stand on their own feet and do not depend on men for their empowerment ........ So, judge who will be considered a strong woman in any sphere in our society (households, offices, churches, schools, professional organizations, politics etc) .......... Men do not like to relinquish power, so women MUST take it and do not expect the men to be compliant and cooperative. Very few women can wield that kind of respect from men in a democratic society.
People point at Mia Mottley, Jacintha Arden, Finland & Taiwan ......... and say that they are effective, but we need to go deeper into these societies and compare them with 242.
Who is this PhD person?? ........... He needs to visit Long Island and talk to people who she represented in the House of Assembly for 5 years (2012-17) and ask to see her legacy projects.
She was more light than heat ........... Don't be fooled by the fluff and smooth talk Dr. Pinder.
Ask Papa why he took her out of the safest NP seat and sent her to Long Island ....... SMH
Say it aint so ............... by damn ........... Someone is blind, deaf & dumb and it aint the Bahamian Government worker, for sure ....... Can't speak for the Goudie guy, but .......
Is this the same Robert Farquharson & John Pinder who were past union leaders?????
Perswell has created an illusion for too long that he was a native Androsian ........ Island people take offence to anyone who tries to claim roots when there is hardly any connection there .......... Don't know if thats his problem, but he was full of air and fluff ............ That can only go so far with island people.
Perswell was no Pindling ......... and just look at how they doing Pindling's daughter.
Does the gender of the PM mean that there will be a magical turnaround???? .......... We live in a misogynistic society, and the PM is only trying to "sweet talk" women voters ......... Watch his actions and not just his words
