“Mr Adderley plans to run in C#19 Pembroke West against the PLP’s Vince Ingham and the OBA’s Jeanne Atherden”….. isn’t Jeanne Atherden Mr Adderley’s daughter?

For many of us it is not a case of voting FOR any particular party or individual, but rather a case of wanting to vote AGAINST the plp and all the damage they have done to our island.

OZ, “safe and reliable” means just that though in hind sight it is a bit redundnant and either word could have sufficed. Therefore going with the word “safe” but remembering one could just as easily substitute the other word in this usage, one finds it commonly used in electoral politics. All political parties have their core base and their “safe” seats and I think on previous voting patterns that the PLP’s is in neither of these constituencies but that a PLP candidate could win on less than a majority of votes cast with a split vote between the independent candidate and opposition in either constituency, something which the majority of voters do not want. Therefore I reiterate, in this election, a vote for an independent candidate is a vote for the PLP.

What exactly do you mean by ” in what should be reliable OBA seats.” So you are assuming that you know how people will vote or are you just taking these voters for granted. Neither one of these gentlemen have come out previously against the system when they were part of the ruling party so me thinks this statement is self serving.

I am aware that we have had fourteen years of …and perverse Government by a gang pretending to represent the less fortunate and taken for granted in this country – many hundreds of millions of our dollars have been squandered at best on poorly conceived projects and at worse directly into the pockets of these … and this continues to be the case of this clique high that has hijacked a hitherto legitimate party and betrayed the aspirations of many thousands of Bermudians. They can and will all go to Hell, but in the meantime as I said a vote for anybody or party other than the OBA is a vote for more PLP…

Unfortunately for both Mr. A and Mr. T (especially as both are fine gentlemen and this voter believes in independent candidates), this election is too critical for a Stuart Hayward moment – a vote for either is effectively a vote for the PLP in what should be reliable OBA seats.
