Fully agree, this is the point that some don't get. Laws are changed and/or amended all the time. I think that particular policy makes no sense IMHO.

Agreed.

As one commenter stated, what's the point of voting if you only can Vote YES. I think something is being misrepresented here. <br/>
But whatever the case, those guys did the right thing.

Minnis thinks this is the end. This is only the beginning. All of you that were fired by Minnis, keep up the good work. You did the RIGHT thing! <br/>
I've heard no fat ladies singing yet!

PS - Why is the Tribune calling them 'Rebels' - for possessing independent thought (and not being sheeple!)

Okay.... sounds interesting, but you are not doing anything about people running the red light everyday, but somehow you're going to patrol texting. Guess I'll wait and see. <br/>
These days people drive like they're trying to hit as many people as possible before they get to their destination. The police presence on the road is sporadic at best and seems only to be for the purpose of checking your license. <br/><br/>
I would have suggested traffic cams to automatically take a photo and send a ticket but after seeing that recent abysmal technology report about how shabby the government's IT infrastructure is (http://www.tribune242.com/news/2018/jun…) I'll keep ma mouth shut! lol

Well done *all* of you. I am especially impressed with T. Robinson of Bain Town. He is showing that he has a lot of backbone and is actually trying to work for the community that put him in office.<br/><br/>
IMHO it doesn't even matter what Minnis does or tries to do to them. You gentleman have proven that at least on this vote - you will stick to your principles. Here's hoping for more of the same in the future... and what I mean by that is standing up for what you believe is right.<br/>
I'm very PROUD of all of you!

To me, it's pretty silly. The majority of FNMs support the budget, so there's little chance of it not passing. It's about 5 of them that don't. It seems more to me like a bid to try to control everyone. This fish stinks.

This is the stupidest story I have heard in a long time. Is Carl Bethel trying to run a dictatorship? How can you try to FORCE people how to vote. Have y'all MPs been watching Donald Trump too long. When senator McCain chose to vote against something the rest of the Republicans were doing they COLDLY said "who cares, he's dying anyway". But even they didn't threaten jobs. No job should be under threat because of how a member votes. If you get away with this, then whatever nonsense the government wants to do it will proceed unopposed to the detriment of the everyday, average Bahamian person. <br/><br/>
In a democratic society people should vote as their conscience decides. Just because you're a member of a particular party doesn't mean you should be a "yes man" to everything the government does. Did it take the youngest member in Bain Town to remind all of you that you work for the people? <br/><br/>
This is truly a sad day in politics and an embarrassment. I'm ashamed of you Carl Bethel.

What a terrible Father's Day for these families. We need a smarter approach to crime than what we have now. <br/>
This is just so sad. This cycle of crime must be broken!
