The consequences of the referendum
To the enlightened and the educated who are overwhelmingly in the minority in The Bahamas the result of the referendum was a huge disappointment.
Apology to Sir Arthur
I would be grateful if you would kindly publish this note of apology to Sir Arthur Foulkes, who has confirmed that he is not the writer of the article published in The Guardian of June 2 under the nom de plume Simon.
Butler-Turner should return to the PLP
Long Island MP Loretta Butler-Turner has yet to decide on taking on Dr Hubert Minnis for the FNM Leadership position at the party’s July convention. Butler-Turner is attempting to appear modest to FNMs.
Financial sovereignty
Whilst Bahamians have been actively opposing one another for the past several weeks leading up to the recent referendum, it would appear that other serious business has been silently but inexorably moving full steam ahead on the other side of the curtain.
Decision time for the FNM
Much has been said about the leadership struggles within the FNM. On one hand you have a man that was handed the reigns after just being introduced to frontline politics five years prior, and on the other you have a collection of experienced men and a woman who despite their best efforts seem to lose their voice amidst the noise from the core support of the leader.

Sir Arthur responds
I have been told that a letter, purportedly written by Mr C A Smith and crediting me with authorship of the column Front Porch by Simon in The Nassau Guardian, has been widely published on social media.
Former MP Pierre Dupuch challenges 'The Graduate'
I was virtually born in politics. My first memory as a little boy, less than two digits old, was when my father took me to watch and listen to a session of the House of Assembly. In those days the sessions were held at night and the members wore formal attire.
CA Smith crosses the line
It appears that foot-in-mouth disease is going around these days. Flat-footed Tennyson “Oligarch” Wells came down with a bad case of it recently and now it appears Cornelius A Smith has caught it too.
Tennyson Wells in his own defence
The Graduate and his groupies were once and are journalists who are lazy, indisciplined and always lived off others by receiving handouts and payments from the public purse and have been sucking up to power and/or perceived power all their lives.
This is censorship
We have a democratic right to vote. Just as importantly, we have a democratic right to the results. The actual results.
Deceptively sinful
THE referendum’s overwhelming “No” outcome shows there are frighteningly more deceptive sinners amongst us than we ever thought possible.
Gender equality
After all is said and done, there are three points I wish to share:
