    I thought the PLP was against the use of Government facilities for political purposes.

    • Blurt says:

      Talk out of both sides of their mouth. The current PLP cannot be trusted. So much evidence points to this fact.

  2. Clive Spate says:

    They’r not Progressive.
    Haven’t done much in terms of Labour.

    Good at Partying with public money though!!

  3. Bermyman says:

    More Circus tricks? I might go check it just for comedy value.

  4. RFK JFK MLK says:

    Hopefully for them this gets better attendance than their East End “Rally” over at SGCC.

    • M.P.Mountbatten JP says:

      There’s an open invitation to you and yours .

      • RFK JFK MLK says:

        No, I as a white man don’t want to scare any of the PLP supporters by the “look in my eyes” as Rolfe Commissiong put it at the Pembroke town hall.

        • M.P.Mountbatten JP says:

          My friend you deserve to be there just like I deserve to be at any OBA public meeting , if I so choose . Nobody will make you feel uncomfortable ,we don’t have time for that, if anything you’ll be made to feel most welcomed .

          • Back to Life, Back to Reality says:

            @M.P. …,are you for real…. “Nobody will make you feel uncomfortable ,we don’t have time for that, if anything you’ll be made to feel most welcomed”. Did you not understand what RFK JFK MLK said???

            as a white man I don’t want to scare any of the PLP supporters by the “look in my eyes” as Rolfe Commissiong put it at the Pembroke town hall. and that would make you feel comfortable and welcome???

          • Blurt says:

            All your questions will be met with dismissal or ignored or waffled over… The town Halls by the PLP are mostly scripted questions. Avoid the hype and propaganda, you’ll never get the hours of your life back. Ask anout the Markham report strategies constantly being playef by the PLP ministers in the press. Ask them if Hitler was a great man….Ask them if winning the election is more important to the PLP than the future of Bermudand and Bermuda. It is so painfully obvious that the right choice that this countries people need is the OBA.

    More substance, less Michael Jackson perhaps?

  6. WhatAboutUs? says:

    TN Tatem is barely West! You guys takes all of us in the real West for granted. You teased us with a ferry service that is now broken. I can’t even use it now as you also cut all the ferry times that were useful to me. I would supported if it was closer as I have so many questions to ask and only the OBA has stopped by my house so far. They may get my vote just for the effort. I hope they can keep it up.

  7. FirstTimeVoter says:

    Central parishes must be chopped liver! or has everything been said at the pembroke town hall?

  8. Soooooo says:

    Vender if dem byes ridin dat brokn dawn bike gonna sho up? . Anyone here the ad on vsb tonight? Do the PLP think the people of Bermuda are stupid?

    Whataboutus… I agree, if it was actually out WEST I might bother…. My OBA hopeful has stopped by 3 times, sat and talked about issues and answered questions…. The 3rd visit was to answer a question that needed input from Bob… Our PLP candidate couldn’t give a crap…

  9. The Grinch says:

    Why can’t we have this election any other time but now? This really puts a damper on the Christmas spirit. It doesn’t feel like Christmas if all you here is this political election crap every day why Premier Cox calls an election for this time of year is beyond me. Maybe because people will vote as just a formality because they will be preoccupied with Christmas and giving it much thought so they will vote for the same party as they did the last election good strategy.

    • Argosy says:

      The turnout is going to be a record low – watch.

      Disillusioned PLP who can’t bring themselves to vote any other way….

  10. #That is All says:

    I thought public property was not supposed to be used for party politics?! What the H-ll am I missing???

  11. media says:

    I am sure all the PLP candidates will be watching their P’s and Q’s at these Town Hall Meetings after all the clean up the campaign had do do after Vince Ingham bad mouthed businesses last week. Can’t have another slip of the tongue comment again, it would mess up the final week. Best behaviour I am sure.

  12. GOD 1st says:

    @ chart i second that ,it is very clear that these people are liars

  13. Triangle Drifter says:

    Could somebody attending ask about the use of Government vehicles for voter transport on election day?

    • Back to Life, Back to Reality says:

      Great point. But it will be like advertising and campaigning on gov property. The opposition can’t , but they can!
