Leadership is immensely stressful especially when you are the focal point. The blame always comes back to haunt you. Leaders want to make the best decisions that can possibly be made and some feel they cannot do it on their own. Hiring a consultant mitigates some of the risk by getting a helping hand.

In my opinion, I think there are enough members in his own political party to help make decisions. Consultants are usually a waste of money. Especially when there only hired to talk and give direction because they are telling you stuff you already know.

The Bermuda government has used so many consultants across the board we can almost blame the consultants for our failed economy and bad decisions.

Frankly, I think Grearson is simply cashing in his chips.

TILL THERES MORE SNOWDEN AND OTHERS DIS CLOWS WILL RUIN DE WORLD

RE Rolf and Renee – the PLP have already paid the price for them. You must now keep to teh point for the OBA is definitely paying the price for their recent mistakes and if not careful they may lose the government in less than the 5 years they have.

If you read the various comments about Grearson and the previous private jet travel, plus frequent trips and hiring Corey Butterfield, Louise Jackson, Thad Hollis? and others, even the ardent OBA supporters are becoming frustrated.

The appointment of Grearson is a plan hatched by Grearson (with full knowledge of the former UBP stalwarts) to justify the removal of Cannonier as OBA Leader in September. Once Cannonier is replaced by Dunkley (most likely candidate) with Richrds or Crockwell as dark horses (figuratively speaking), Grearson can help to ‘justify’ the replacement by demonstrating that Cannonier has made too many mistakes as a Leader and has decided to ‘resign for personal reasons’.

Fahy then runs in #12 to replace Cannonier at the next election (or they can have a bi election) and the ‘palace coup’ will be complete.

We should all be aware of former MP John Barritt’s public comments that seem to be at odds with Cannonier / OBA in terms of how they have changed their leadership selection process. It has also been interesting to hear that Barritt agrees that Dupperault should not have spoken publicly about his work as SAGE Chair. Barritt also has some questions about the inappropriate comunication with the Cabinet about SAGE activities. Taken on their own, Barritt’s comments may not be of any concern. If we take Barritt’s comments in the context of his personal sacrifice to let Cannonier become an MP and hence Premier, Barritt’s comments take on more significance.

Any bets on what would happen if Barritt decided to run as an independent against Cannonier in #12?

He was a part of this sneaky cover up also. The question is, can he be trusted by Cannonier, who shouldn’t need him in the first place!

Grearson should resign and seek employment elsewhere.

PLP ALL THE WAY, ALL THE WAY PLP

I know that the OBA have some very smart people, so having this individual as leader of the party definitely makes me question their aim in really improving this county..

And is it worse? Of course not, this is a molehill in the mountains of sh** the PLOP offered us on a weekly basis.

Can’t believe I’m saying this – as an OBA supporter but Mr. Cannonier is just getting it sooooo wrong lately I can only believe that he is being led by the nose to his own execution. (Watch out for Pettingill et al. they are after the top job………..)

People in the business world do it all the time. They hire a consultant. More times over, the consultant doesn’t tell you anything you didn’t know already. It ends up just being a waste of money.

The OBA is beginning to act just like the former government who they correctly criticised for this type of nonsense. Where is the change?
Does the Cabinet approve of his ego trip?

Delusions of grandeur…
