Swing goes against Christie
In my opinion, both the PLP and the DNA have misread the outcome of the 2012 General Elections when many FNM supporters, just like Branville McCartney, revolted against Ingraham’s leadership, supported the breakaway DNA and defeated Ingraham.
Copycat slogan
THE PLP’s 2016 campaign slogan Forward Together Bahamians reminds me of its 2012 Believe in Bahamians slogan. The 2012 campaign propaganda helped to etch in the minds of angry Bahamians that the Free National Movement was, derisively speaking, the Foreign National Movement.

Police reservist pay
WHEN are the Royal Bahamas Police Force reservists going to be paid for hours worked?
History of Bahamian rights
I GOT home from the FNM Tsunami Rally about 11 last night. I hurriedly tuned into ZNS TV13 to see what the PLP rally looked like.
The sleeping PM
NOMINATION Day was held on April 20. PM Perry Christie was nominated for the Centerville constituency for the ninth time.
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.
