The only Republicans around here is definitely the PLP though their actions and speeches (especially when it applies to racial matters). All one has to do is read their stanch supporters comments, their party chairman’s comments, and listen to their rally speeches. look though Bernews, the newspapersand any pro PLP blog with the exception of J Starlings. They say they just want a level playing field and that equality does not mean that we have to get along. That in itself shows the inner workings of their mind set, couple that with the silence from those within their ranks that know in their hearts that they don’t feel that way towards white people whom by the way are just as “real Bermudians” as you can get then the pro PLP bloggers whining about how OBA supporters can talk about their “fellow Bermudians” right after they had just completely insulted their fellow Bermudians. Please as stated before much change is required for the PLP to become a viable representative of Bermuda as a whole and Marc Bean whom I do respect is leading them right down the same garden path as his predecessors. Very unfortunate.

LOL does the PLP even accurately depict the demographics of Bermuda? If not why not? Anyone in your party ever truly asked that question or does that rock the core beliefs that they might just might also be espousing the racial beliefs that they say they are fighting against.

When they neglected tourism to focus on IB it all started to go downhill. With the loss of tourism many jobs were lost. Couple that with steep price rises in goods and services that came with International Business and their mega bucks (sorry none for the average bermudian), and many Bermudians were suddenly in a bad place financially. So bermudians could no longer afford to have a seasonal job (at the hotels) and Bermudians could not hold down any significant jobs in the IB sector (no experience). So the PLP decided to do something a little different – actually invest in the PEOPLE of BERMUDA, something the UBP never done. Yes Bermuda had money, but the people were not benefitting from that money. So the IB crooks worldwide have crippled the world economy, by stealing all of the money, and thats why we are stuck with the huge debt. Granted the PLP could have done things different, But the OBA’s plan is to take us back the time of UBP – Bermuda has money, but bermudians ain’t got s#@!.

Also OBA who promised to be transparent forgot to tell you they also brought in someone to look at what Educators do, make an assessment and make more cuts. Some one in the know. This is why I am disappointed in this govt I voted for, lack of transparency and honest.

I voted OBA, but I must say that my observations and reading of the blogs, indicate that you have got it wrong. The most negativity and toxic vibes often comes from the OBA supporters and die-harts. I was not happy about that as I am a supporter, and it makes me feel bad. But the reality is the bias and disrespectful comments and feelings come from a certain sector of our population, and I have beg the Premier to talk to his MPs and supporters about it. So far nothing has happen to deal with this toxic vibes from the OBA towards others that do not support the party.

this anti-Bermudian OBA government did not get a so-called political honey moon period, but that is thier own fault. I remember when the PLP was first elected the government. They got thier political honey moon; allmost to a fault. so much so that for a time it’s own political supporters began to have what I called a crisis of expectation; as the new PLP government took a long time to put in policies that it’s political supporters expected them to do. I am not surprise that the anti-Bermudian OBA government has acted the way that it has now that they are the government. they ran away from any real debate on what they were going to do if they became the government. Led by thier leader who ran away from a press conference. Even former MP John Barritt who gave up his seat for the new political leader has express disappointment; but than if you engage in a machiavellian ploy to win an
election which in the end produces political mediocrity; than perhaps you should except the consequence of your folly.
