What will it take for the FNM to regain Government is obviously the crucial question facing the leadership of that party ... what will it take?

Ironically looking back to the political demise of Sir Lynden… the political demise of the FNM’s first Prime Minister - Ingraham… looking back at Perry Christie and the most recent casualty all to the same identifiable cause all quite interesting go back not to the Opposition party at the time, but to the persona - positioning of the leadership - from Sir Lynden to Hubert Minnis, September 2021 all fell to the cancer of ‘political arrogance’…their chosen persona.

Political Arrogance is not created by the Opposition, but singularly by the person in office so election 2026 the result will be totally determined by the practice and persona of one Hon Philip Davis if he goes like the others – arrogant dead on arrival on election day if he doesn’t he will win.

Michael Pintard may be able to put the crushed Humpty Dumpty back to pieces again, but the photo on his election showed he already had made a fundamental mistake…remember the Hubert Ingraham supporters were rejected and on September 16th the supporters of Hubert Minnis were also…are there any other factions in the FNM, except the remnants of the UBP - Brent Symonette? Is Pintard’s sole supporters the UBP faction?

Mr Pintard as Minister for Agriculture was not all that he tried to put out…a lot of loud wind huff and puff, but did Agriculture production increase? Recent inspection of Andros BAMSI indicates that $25m investment was in a shambles.

Did you see on the News video the brush between Hubert Ingraham and Hubert Minnis? Not all is well and can there be healing?

The enormous cost to the FNM was the Minnis snap election to the cost of his Ministers over $45,000... to all the FNM minions who had government contracts eight months of income gone. All those of the proverbial gravy train of the Government in office the $’s gone.

Gorilla glue or crazy glue will be needed, but the reality is if Davis stays away from arrogance he will guaranteed be elected again.
