Good luck Marc Bean. There’s a lot of work to do. You’ve got to rebrand your image to the people and most certainly change the way the PLP campaigns. Keep standing strong for Bermudians but please understand the economy and how international business factors in to every day life. Find the root cause of where the party went wrong and begin your ascent. PLP isn’t finished it just needs some time to reevaluate an reorganize. Please recruit some of the great minds of Bermuda. Be a true leader and definitely not an elitist or egoist.

Good Luck

Congrats to Marc I do hope with your leadership you can bring about effective and necessary change from within. Mr.Lister was quoted as saying in his 10 min speech ” We deserve the government, and the people of Bermuda deserve a PLP government”. Obviously not even the PLP delegates believed that, Marc the young people of the PLP have to come to the fore, whenever the next election is called a few people need to step aside because as was proven the electorate have no time for a politics of race, the politics of old.

If in the next 5 years the old guard are sitting around trying to get seats, trust me then you can forget forming the next government. The days of Daddy is a supporter therefore the entire household are gone, matter of fact there are too many of our households without fathers around. I say that to say this the focus has to come off of the party and return on the people. This party,party,everything must stop for the PLP to move forward, the focus should never be on winning elections. it should be on the people and when I say that I mean the entire people of these islands. When that is done for sure victory at the polls will come.

The mere rejection of Mr.Lister in itself is a good thing as he represents the old guard, and signals to me at least that change has started. As I have said of the new government, I will say the same to you, good luck, we will see. If it’s not about Bermuda then it’s about nothing.

I suggest you go back up to the top and listen to the interview with your new Leader Marc Bean. He talks about moving away from your racial rhetoric and to start respecting yourself. It is your type of mentality that is likely to prevent any progressive movement within the PLP. Good luck Marc Bean. In some ways I can see a likely split in the Party if those that cannot see the required change refuse to move on.

@ Politics: From my point of view, a debate between Ms
Cox and Mr. Cannonier would have been a waste of time. The PLP had no concrete platform and Ms Cox had already spoken ad nauseam about nonexistent investment in infrastructure,Future Care,day care,and (not)secret documents,while the roads were/are abysmal, social services were underfunded, the secret document had been discussed publicly 2 years prior, and the economy sunk deeper. I,for one, was not interested in hearing any more lies and spin. Debates between leaders is a fairly new concept for Bermudians, and maybe has a place when the people can be sure leaders will actually debate the issues rather than just repeat spin and propaganda.

according to who? you? whatever. so far you have said nothing constructive. we all have a GREAT opportunity to move forward TOGETHER here. this was offered to us by the OBA. this was not offered to us by the PLP. craig cannonier said it best when he said ““cabinet is there to work on behalf of the people, not on behalf of a party’s caucus…” . with the PLP, it was very clear that paula cox and her cabinet only felt they represented the PLP, not ALL of bermuda. so why don’t you stop looking backwards and criticizing everything you see and get on board with the PRESENT and the FUTURE. try being positive and contributing something useful for a change. merry christmas.

Walton Brown’s ‘explanation’ is actually an excuse. It’s not impossible. It just takes putting country first, which apparently is unacceptable to whoever in the PLP was invited to join the cabinet.

It was so disappointing to see the ugly negative remarks about Mark early in this string. They have the same sound of arrogance and ignorance that the PLP was accused of. This is certainly not the view of the OBA who should distance themselves from such remarks. Mark has the potential to galvanize the base, if they will let him. He is the only one that is capable. He is the one to watch. I see many agreed with his statements. He is a man of thought and depth.

Well done Mark. Somehow I do not think your party is up to you yet. But then if they try to make you apologize for your comments again, you may want to consider your options.
