1) Coalition will pull more votes from the FNM. I don't even think that is debatable. Voters will not reject an incumbent government in favour of a coalition. Comparatively, the PLP's announced candidates are vastly superior to the FNM's. Again, I am not sure that this is debatable. And to connect to your first point, the Coalition has not produced - to date - a single viable candidate. So, stuck with the choice of a coalition, PLP or FNM "lacklustre" (your words) candidate, I don't see voters electing the coalition.
2) Last election was contested during a period that the known world had never in history experienced. And, FNM voters were fed up with Minnis. Different circumstances this time. Voter turnout will be comparable to non-Covid elections.
3) Coalition has no chance of winning the Golden Isles by-election. None. Interesting that your substantive argument appears to be that "things are different now", but then you conclude by comparing this by-election to one that occurred over 15 years ago! Not saying that you are wrong, just that your premise did not match your conclusion.

Joeblow, you are moving the goal post. Your initial post claimed "in all of human history there were only two sexes." Hrysippus, correctly, notes that your initial statement is not true.

So these problems only occurred in the past four years under Davis? At least pretend to be objective.

You can't have it both ways, Gowon. On the one hand you don't want to sell because you answer to shareholders. But then, you want the government to act as a social benefactor and absorb losses, at the risk of financial stability, so that you, Gowon, can continue to line your and your shareholders pockets. Hypocrisy.
Oh, and blaming the current situation on the lack of a "home price index" is specious logic at best.

You know nothing of what you speak - nothing.
You are too ignorant to even have a conversation with you about this topic.

A broken clock is correct twice. lol

Where was the Securities Commission?
How do you think the matter got to court in the first instance? Little magical elves from the North Pole?

There is an age old saying: if Philip Simon is talking, then he is not speaking truthfully.

An IPO in The Bahamas is not complicated. For all that is slow and bureaucratic about our country, filing a prospectus is not one of them. This can be done as quick as they want to do.

My question is - why the hell would they want to do it. Just conduct a private offering, raise the money and move on. Bahamas markets are too illiquid for a public offering.

ExposedU2C, I am not a fan of your views or your politics, but I cannot disagree with you on this. You are spot on. In fact, when I saw the complete list of Committee members, I immediately knew that this effort will go nowhere. These are the same retreads that have gotten us here in the first place, but now we are asking them to lead us out of the doldrums. If you want to keep the two Rolles, then fine, I guess. At least they are both under 50. But the rest should be removed. Need I remind that this is a NDP for the 40 years. Shouldn't a few professionals under 35 comprise the Committee. Oh well, for this day at least, Exposed you are correct.

I disagree with your last paragraph. The FNM has a lot to lose. A second failed by-election bid will cast serious doubts on whether the people are confident that a Michael Pintard-led government can win the general election. I think it would be disastrous for Pintard. A PLP loss is a loss to a good candidate (Brown) in a generally see-saw seat. Not a fatal blow by any means.
Pintard has more to lose than Brave in this by-election.
