Kim Swan: ‘Speech A Pre-Election To Do List’

November 2, 2012

“A Throne Speech with only 12 maximum weeks remaining on 5 year term is unnecessary,” UBP MP Kim Swan said in response to today’s events.

“Additionally it is important to appreciate that Bermuda has had seven (7) throne speeches in five (5) years which makes this Throne Speech political. This lends itself to our argument that fixed term elections are required and would benefit Bermuda.”

“The initiatives outlined by government can fairly be characterized as a last minute pre-election ‘to do list’ aimed at creating a feel good factor to deflect attention away from present day social and economic challenges,” concluded Mr Swan.

    Kim. If there are only 12 weeks left….. Don’t we have fixed term elections?

  2. It dont matter who you put into government,whenever the throne speech comes it is always a to do list of the things that is left undone since the last throne speech and you can see that way back in history with the U.B.P

      Don’t worry he’s only got 12 more weeks to grandstand then he will be politically dead.. I know its hs job to disagree and highlight the obvious as a opposition party but I hope he doesn’t burn to many bridges that he may need to cross back over after he loses his seat in the house following the election.. He’s a nice guy though don’t get me wrong but it will truely take a miracle for him to come out of this election with anything but a good name..
