EDITOR, The Tribune.

Arrogance is the killer alike an acute cancer of MPs and a Government - I suggest to Mr Philip Davis that your public response to apologising for the extreme unparliamentary act in 2002 Referendum is just that and if you don’t recognise it, then face the consequences.

In 2002, the PLP in Opposition voted FOR every item on the Referendum but then switched as they saw going in opposition could lead to being elected in the immediate General election and we all know it did. Don’t tell me that lame excuse of no consultations.

Remember readers, in 2002 even the Amendment to allow for Judges to continue to work was defeated, it only got a 29 per cent vote.

Talking about apologising? The one-two still living of those who attended the Constitutional Talks pre-1973 need to apologise as it was their drafting of the Constitution that deliberately enshrined that no Bahamian woman in 1973 would have equality - it is mud in your face coming now talking all that piety and the same goes for members of the Church who were around then. It was a deliberate act of a group of men to enshrine this provision. Anyway, everyone understands the Bahamian male position and Mr Christie needs to stop fooling himself and the people.

Incredible that Christie & Co and their cohorts are trying desperately to give the impression that this move 43 years later is some incredible democratic breakthrough...

Editor that is what all of those so-called ‘fathers of our Nation’ deliberately agreed to every single one.

QC Harvey Tynes said a mouthful yesterday on Guardian Radio... what if two Bahamian men get legally married outside of The Bahamas - return and apply to the Supreme Court in Nassau to register their legitimate-legal marriage?

How can the Matrimonial Act supersede, control The Constitution?

P HUMES
