Wow! What a fall from the halls of power when you can't even fill the seats in a Jiitney with enough left standing FNM MP's to make the dreadful journey to the soon to be vacated Mackey Street headquarters. What way forward is there to even talk about?

Actually the way forward for the FNM at this time is way more hopeful than what the way forward for the PLP in 1992. I don't think they vacated their headquarters.

I would think similar to the one the PLP traveled when they were left with only 6 seats not too long ago. A defeat does not necessarily mean the end of a party, just that they have some rebuilding to do.
