Calling all DNAs to come home
THIS letter is an appeal to all DNA supporters to come back home to the FNM! It is the only way we will ever be able to take this country back from the hands of the PLP.
Analysing the election
Having observed the performance of two governments over the last ten years and the result of the recent general election I feel compelled to comment as follows: It is difficult to understand how a government
High hopes - but doubts over GBPA
Many will be pleased that finally there is a sitting chair at GBPA - however, his first moves do not give me too much sense that he knows too much about the past of GBPA. Some 10 years ago, with a
Not gaga for Gaga
I commend Muslim protesters for causing Lady Gaga to cancel her "Born This Way Ball" in Indonesia. Gaga's music is aimed at the phenomenon of the masses, is industri
Disgusted with political games
Asking for space in your daily paper as views from a South Abaco voter who is disgusted with the political game.
Oil drilling in the Bahamas
If oil is found in the Bahamas by some of the oil companies that were given permits to search for oil in our deep water sea bed, and if the government were to approve the companies to pump this oil for export to their country and the rest of the world, I feel the government should adapt the Kuwait system whereby every citizen in the country receives through the government from the oil revenue $250,000 per year.
No way to run an election
ON Saturday, May 5, the leader of the Democratic National Alliance advertised in the press that the DNA were to hold a cook-out celebration starting at 1pm, concluding with a speech by the leader.
Customs staff must understand
Listening to the demands of the Customs and Immigration Union members, you wonder if there is any reasonable dialogue happening in that organisation. Two of their demands stick out like sore thumbs and you wonder if the term “economic fallacy” has application here.
Why the credit rating matters
IT IS amusing listening to some callers on the radio talk shows, even those who consider themselves educated, dismissing the warnings of the Moody's credit rating agency about the PLP's mortgage plan.
Ingraham is a man to thank
I FULLY endorse the letter by Mr Kevin Evans dated May 14, 2012, and thank him for his courage and consistency in writing an accurate account of the recent administration and its outstanding leader. Many of us would wish to add to his comments, but space in newspapers does not permit.
Problem faced by the PLP
IT IS possible to use the pain that people are going through to further a political objective, but political victories have a double-sidedness to them that the winners fail to anticipate in terms of actual reckoning. Some run from it by remaining in "campaign mode", reminding us, even from church podiums of what they were elected to do.
Bahamas for Bahamians
PLEASE allow me a little space in your column to express my views on a distasteful and rather unfair situation that was brought to my attention early in May.
Ingraham - simply the best
Former Prime Minister and Member of Parliament-elect for the constituency of North Abaco Hubert A Ingraham told his constituents that he will be stepping down as their representative on July 29.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda...
DENIAL can be wonderfully comforting, at least in the short-term, whereas facing reality is often very unpleasant. Sadly, playing the woulda, shoulda, blame game, rather than honest introspection, is seldom helpful in the long-ter
Signing contracts near the end of a term
MR BRAVE DAVIS, PLP Deputy Prime Minister, has complained that the outgoing FNM government signed some 80 contracts worth over $24 million dollars during the months of March through the recent election campaign ending early May.
