Bye elections...hmm just what we needed to fire up the procrastinators, etc, comments, etc.

2021 General Election West End-Bimini was won by the PLP with 52.75% of the vote which was low...1800 or 30+% didn’t vote (significance being a General Election). The PLP took a long time in their process of nominating a candidate for West End...many at times speculated that the eventual chosen might not be chosen.

Our News on News last night, Thursday 2nd, interviewed four people in Eight-Mile Rock all said they won’t be voting...mostly older people, but is this an issue?

If in a General Election the PLP got 2024 votes when there was a nationwide dislike of the FNM can they improve on that 2024? The worry of the PLP because if they don’t and can’t pick up from the 1800 non-voting people in 2021 their candidate could be in trouble even with Cabinet on the ground.

My issue is the ‘free medical service for Cataract surgery in Cuba, all found, available in Bain Town - Fox Hill - lnagua or just Bimini?’ Such a service has to be open to the whole country, no exceptions bye-election or no bye-election.

Health please advise the public to apply - you have the right to that service.
