EDITOR, The Tribune.

THE Insight article today is inspiring and quite sad, as it forecasts the probable, and likely, political future of The Bahamas.

With apologies to the “Creationists” in our midst, I think that we are clearly living through a political evolution that Charles Darwin described in his “theory of natural selection”, or in other words “survival of the fittest”.

As many of the political fence sitters would likely admit, while neither of the opposition FNM or DNA parties are prepared to discuss any electoral cooperation today, (each leader fervently believing that he will be the next prime minister), in the event of a political stalemate with the FNM gaining say 19 seats and the DNA (maybe) 1 and the PLP 19, there is a seemingly high chance that an opposition coalition would emerge within hours of the last vote being counted.      

Unfortunately what seems more likely is that Mr McCartney, preferring to deny Dr Minnis that glory, would instead choose to wait another five years, so that he can have another kick at the cat.  

Unfortunately for the majority of Bahamians, the coming General may well be that  “Last Train to Clarkesville” for the Bahamas survival as a viable country.

Not the Monkees.
