EDITOR, The Tribune.
DRIVING around Nassau these days you notice two things.
Firstly, there are many shuttered, derelict buildings and closed shops and businesses - for example almost all of East Bay Street.
How does that square with the 32,000 new jobs we are advised have been created. Is it fake news? How many jobs were lost because of the above?
Secondly, virtually the only freshly painted or new buildings are the gambling houses, except the odd Government building to house the additional staff recruited.
One thing Trump did get right was to stop all Government recruitment! The gambling houses are obviously successful but not good for the economy as all they do is suck money out of it without giving back any real benefit.
The people were sensible to vote the way they did in the referendum but no-one listened to them - why?. So where is the country heading? Can someone explain to us?

MINNIS, AND MINNIS ALONE, WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PLP WINNING THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION AGAINST IMPOSSIBLE ODDS IF HE DOESN'T TURN THE FNM OVER TO JUST ABOUT ANYONE ELSE.....BUT FIRST HE SHOULD HELP WITH THE DUMPING THE VERY GREEDY AND CORRUPT IDIOT, SIDNEY COLLIE, WHO CURRENTLY SERVES AS THE PARTY'S CHAIRMAN. NO ONE IS GOING TO VOTE FOR THE FNM IF MINNIS AND/OR COLLIE ARE STILL IN THE PICTURE COME ELECTION TIME. THAT'S THE SIMPLE REALITY OF THE SITUATION AND CROOKED CHRISTIE KNOWS IT AND MINNIS MUST NOW STRONGLY SENSE IT. THE BAHAMIAN PEOPLE WILL MAKE MINNIS THE MOST HATED BREATHING BAHAMIAN IF HE INSISTS ON SINGLE HANDEDLY BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR GIVING THE CORRUPT CROOKED CHRISTIE-LED PLP GOVERNEMNT ANOTHER FIVE YEARS DURING WHICH TIME THEY WILL COMPLETELY DESTROY THE BAHAMAS.

No, the voters will be responsible for whoever wins the next election.

Do you really believe the free T-shirt, free ham, or free Blue Marlin if absolutely necessary, will determine the outcome of the next general election?

When Bahamians finally wake up and realize that their petty frenzied selfish support for their parents' political party has landed this country in this mess ......... they will finally do the right thing and place respectable, honest persons in Parliament who must FIRST pledge to get rid of this obsolete Constitution that has gotten us screwed in this benign dictatorship today
