EDITOR, The Tribune.

I am sure it would be understood and a natural reaction to say to the Mackey Street man, give it a rest, but all things being equal, that would probably just spur him on to continue his ill-disguised and ill-advised campaign to see Michael Pintard unseated as leader of the Free National Movement.

Which FNMs is he talking about who knows that Mr Pintard does not have the capacity to lead? And, if he really wishes to do something behind the scenes, he should learn how to wash his dirty linen in house and not serve them up on a public platter for the PLP and all others in opposition to our great party to use to continue the battering brought on by the last leader.

It should have sunk in by now that Michael Pintard will not be the fire breathing, blustering demagogue who opposes for opposing sake, emblematic of so many politicians. He is quite prepared to be rational in his utterings and support of sensible government positions, as he has already demonstrated.

Mackey Street, if he is a good FNM as he claims, should settle down and get in line! Twelve months in is no time to panic. He should also not be so quick to write off the artist as leader! A look at the determination, will and leadership demonstrated by one Volodymyr Zelensky the former comedian and actor now showing out in Ukraine.

Michael Pintard is preparing to lead a Free National Movement and the wider public to a truly New Bahamas. He is the charismatic, intelligent and experienced leader Mackey Street is talking about. Be the good FNM that you say you are and stop encouraging discord and disloyalty among the party faithful!
