What we tolerate
EVERY five years political parties do two things: embrace new faces to create the illusion that they are fresh, dynamic and relevant and publish a manifesto.
Branville will do the right thing
THE Democratic National Alliance (DNA) has been around on the Bahamian political scene for more than five years now.
Spoiling our Bahamas
I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to attend a small college in the United States, in addition to playing on one of the Varsity sports teams on campus.
Politicians who have nine lives
WHATSOEVER a man sows that shall he reap, said St Paul to the Galatians. Jerome Fitzgerald is learning about this reciprocal principle firsthand.
Leadership
TODAY it is a story about Leadership. A few years ago I went to a lunch in Florida and the speaker was General Schwarzkopf or “Stormin’ Norman” as he was called when he led the US troops in the first Iraq war.
FNM rally experience
WOW! Was at the FNM rally several days ago. Must admit the FNM candidate for Sea Breeze, Ms Lanisha Rolle, was phenomenal. She had that “fire and brimstone gospel wibe” that makes or breaks a political campaign.
Spoil the ballot - by voting DNA
THIS election cycle is so interesting to watch. In 2012, when the DNA emerged as a party contesting every seat, the governing FNM did not see them as a threat, just some insignificant little bug who would garner less than 100 votes.
A vote for the DNA is a vote for the PLP
IT should be obvious to everyone by now that in this upcoming election, a vote for the Democratic National Alliance or for an independent candidate is essentially a vote for the PLP.
The way the wind is blowing
Mr Bradley Roberts’ complaint to the Commissioner of Police about PLP posters being torn down over the weekend, (implying Opposition Members doing the tearing) got me to wondering if Mr Roberts is even a Bahamian.
Welcome to the 21st century
Former PLP cabinet minister Loftus Roker (he who gave us the cheeky moniker “Rokerpure” for brackish drinking water) recently expressed his disdain over the fact that outside observers were coming to invigilate our election next month.
Save our antiquities
After reading the article on Nassau’s lighthouse in today’s Tribune I should like to add to the observations made by Mr Ronald Lightbourn, not only is our historic lighthouse in dire straits but many of our other historical buildings and landmarks have also been, one might say, criminally neglected.
Our future, all things considered
Considering all that has been said and done under a PLP administration, we are looking at the possible consolidation of an enslaved state.
A DNA vote is a PLP vote
IT SHOULD be obvious to everyone by now that in this upcoming election, a vote for the Democratic National Alliance (DNA) or for an Independent candidate is essentially a vote for the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP).
The clue to governance
YOUR April 3rd edition had a headline on page five - “PM: Minnis has no clue about governance”.
Cut down on plastic bag usage
WHILE everyone is concerned with the political fervour now consuming our nation, I wish to change strides and mention something on the environmental front (although it does in some way connect to recent and past politics – vis a vis the New Providence “landfill” debacle).
