Very true ..................... this so-called Westminster system is so skewed towards the PM that it is hard to call it a democracy.

It is totally ludicrous that such major decisions have to depend on the whim & fancy of the PM. And after all of these years since 1973, no right-thinking Cabinet or Parliament has seen the ethical challenges that this presents.

So, all FIVE PMs and their Cabinets are guilty of this complicity.

How come ONE black musician or sports athlete cannot get a high King's honours in this country?????

How come only merchants, politicians or pastors can get OBE, MBE, or CMG etc??????

Oh, I forgot ............ The PM decides on what are "real jobs" in this country.

First of all, the PLP ghetto seats need to be redrawn because most of the inhabitants are immigrants today. If the voter list is expanding in the ghetto seats, then we know for sure that passports and voter's cards are been given out by the New Day government.

Natural road boundaries should be used to shift the 24 seats in New Providence and not create obvious gerrymandering.

Besides that, no need to tinker with GB & FI seats.

It is the failed state of Haiti that is at the heart of this North-South flow of cocaine & guns ......... The Zoe Pound is a clear & present danger to this country.

Where did these "household appliances" come from, and where were they going?

If the appliances were imported, where is the Customs paperwork and who cleared them?

This is not difficult to trace, if the PF wants to solve it.

The PM is only saying out loud what MOST Bahamians think anyway.

There are only a handful of "real jobs" that Bahamians respect & aspire for themselves and their offspring. We know them too well ...... Law, medicine, business, engineering, then the middle level public service jobs, then the lower level trades jobs.

If a family has financial flexibility to allow it, a career in "the arts" will be tolerated. But, generally, kids who ask their Bahamian parents to support them in an "orange career" will get the same response as what the PM gave ....... After all, are any of his kids engaged in an "arts" career?????

It is not what he says, it is what he does.

More bad?????? ...... than Vomit & Gravy?????

Come on man, be fair & reasonable in your comments.

Ingraham has other faults, but his record as PM is pretty impressive - compared to his successors in OPM.

I guess that ........ if there is a tint of Hubert Minnis support or sympathy in any of these potential FNM 2026 candidates, then they should not expect a nomination from the Pintard leadership team. Loyalty & synergy is key. Purging is mandatory.

The Minnis era is over. Like it or not. No hard feelings. That's just how politics goes.

Definitely, it won't go beyond May 2026.

This fat 2025-26 Budget proves that the PLP is on the homestretch and won't give the FNM another Budget Debate to expose the graft & bloated contracts.

Some constituency boundaries should not be gerrymandered, especially where it is obvious that a FNM seat is being eliminated by redistricting.

On the other hand, it is clear that the black belt (ghetto) seats are protected by the PLP, despite the lower population compared with Southern & Southwest NP.

The PLP must not reduce Family Islands seats as there should be a caucus that can speak on behalf of the rural population. That caucus should be encouraged for national development reasons. With the PM & DPM representing Family Island constituencies, it was a good boost for these islands. However, MICAL, Long Island & Andros still seemed to lag behind in focused attention.

Time will tell, whether the PLP boundary cuts will be a honest response to population shift OR simple gerrymandering.
