So she took time off from her job with Urban Renewal to go and campaign for another entity;
she needs to be discipline hard. The PLP might have bee pushing the Yes vote, however, she is abusing her power, because this was more than likely on company time and the trip paid for by the government. Thank you Mother Pratt, these type of things needs to stop with goveernment employees.

I was just reading through the Lotteries and Gaming act of the Bahamas and I don't see anything remotely that could be interpet as maybe selling numbers in the Bahamas could be legal, in fact everything is saying that it is illegal. So having a business license doesn't gave a business the rights to break the law, someone need to seriously look at the people in charge of running this country from the PM and cabinet to the supreme court and police force. The Christian Council was all over this referrandum trying to get a No vote, they need to keep the heat up on the government to find out how in the world the police can't enforce the law, how in the world a judge could get this order to stop and so early in the morning, when other cases can be delayed because we don't hae enough judges. Now watch and see them go back to the old Bahamian way of letting things take longer than expected and the injunction will never come up in court.

Dr. Nottage said the Government is a law abiding government, However, a judge or supreme court have the rights to interpet the law as they please and stop a direct order from the PM. Even though the PM had this up his sleeve in the first place, I will leave that point alone for now, but the fact that a court could stop the police from fighting crime if they so see it fit, shows that democracy isn't in place in the Bahamas, but a form of dictatorship. In the Cayman Island which is still British rule The police came and arrest the Premier because he was out of order, now if in the Bahamas a PM decide to steal money and commit whatever type of crime, how is the police going to arrest him when the judicial system is centered around the ruling party? The police force and the court have to be seperate from the ruling party for democracy to be effective.

Thanks for pointing out that I spell a word wrong,however, there is a slim chance someone working in a webshop and being undecided, but take that slim chance along with Mrs Butler-Turner just so happens to find that person and I would say the chance is even slimmer. You sound kind of educated,but to think this isn't political, you are only book smart. If the FNM had won the election they would had a referendum and more than likely pushing the yes vote and guess who would've been opposing it? By the way a sentence is start with a capital letter.

To be honest, I would rather them by the process of elimination. I think the country need to try something else, because of the folly of the other two parties.
Mrs Butler-Turner comment/lie was to pursaud the vote no campaign and I'm not blaming her for trying to pursaud people to vote no, however, that lie about the web-shop employee being undecided is like talking to a child minded society, I can tell my toddler and 5 year old almost anything and they would believe it, but I can't tell my 14 year old that same story and expect them to believe it.

Who is to bame for that? Didn't the FNM strip most of the powers of the force and place them under the ruling party?

Both the PLP and FNM is full of it, regardless to which side of the fence you stand on concerning this issue. Mrs. Butler-Turner said she spoke to a girl who work in a web-shop and the that girl hasn't made up her mind yet, only a fool would beleive that someone who work in the web-shop haven't made up their mind yet. Then again they could tell the Bahamian people anything, because history shows most of them would believe it.

Everyone looks out for family one way or the other, however, you don't go ahead and hire someone right under the ministry you're in charge off. Let someone else do it at another ministry and in return hire one of their family. It may sound like i'm justifying him, I know he is one of those MP that is making the country look bad, but this is not the worst thing a MP can do, could possibly one of the stupidest thing.

The elites of both parties sit around and laugh at the uneducated.

In Bahamian society being slick and tricky is admired, it all go back to some of our books and story we read and heard as children and young adults like Ber nanci, Shine, Kiki-Boom (Antiquan book)and others, we look up to these characters because the stories are funny, It isn't in our custom to tell a story of a person who made something out of nothing, nor do Bahamians want to hear about it. I beg to differ on that active criminal age of 17-36 because most of our politicians are well beyond 36, neverthe less, you are right on track.
