Is that what happened when Furbert was re elected unopposed as BIU leader? Did all the other potential candidates “do as they were told”? Or are we to believe thst none of the other thousands of BIU members had any ambition?
Did you “smell a rat” then as well?

We knew they were deceitful, why should they admit it. If you were foolish to vote for them, they knew they could always fool you. Mark my words, certain Bermudians will wake up one day and find themselves seriously disenfranchised.

My question is, why isn’t the OBA doing the same thing? The biggest risk here is letting the country fall back into the hands of the PLP where they change the laws to put back in Brown and he becomes a dictator. We are not far away from a Cuba or a Venezuela and should not be so arrogant in thinking we are above history.

agreed look at the likes and disslikes notice that they seem to be fighting each other for the most clicks. Could be blogger for both parties here. Question this which party is involved in and engages in “American Style Politics”? Thenk think about what propaganda is and then turn on the radio and give a listen you should get your answer.

Acutually it is the same, as no matter how you slice it both parties have had questionable things happen under them and yet you and other PLP supporters ignor that and want people to vote for your group anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF is that? If your moral compass works at all you would not be advocating for either party an you would put out your own party and platform. Someone with your high sense in morality should have no problem securing votes right?

Wow! That whole surrogate plan worked perfectly didn’t it? I will give credit though, no matter how deceitful the creators of this devious plan were I will admit that this was a flippin’ flawless bold plan which worked! Yup, the UBP are now back in power. Bda and many OBA supporters who wanted change were definitely hoodwinked! Wonder what the non-UBP OBA backbenchers and supporters are thinking now? Didn’t they and many others vote for change? Wow. I for one am glad it played out this way though because even though it is a bitter pill to swallow for many, this was a bitter lesson to be forever learned. Bda will never forget this devious political chess move. Checkmate! This is worse than the often quoted ‘We had to deceive you’ quote by Dr. Brown. At least he admitted to it. No such thing for the UBP.

Not at all…but there is a difference between someone’s actual, logically determined rationale for supporting a party and propaganda based support mongering. You don’t have to be a genius to discern between fake accounts and real accounts. The PLP see this event as something they can flip in their favor and they feel like the blogs are probably the easiest way to develop a ground swell of support. Common parlor tricks.

No matter what the OBA do, for some, they will always by the White Party. Such a shame that these folks always see colour as an issue. Michael Dunkley is the best man for the job. If you don’t like it, BA leaves every night to the UK. Delta and American can take you to the Caribbean. My point, you don’t have to put up with it, you can leave, maybe we’d be better off without you, but I can sure tell you this. The OBA will succeed in turning this country around, with or without your help.

How the hell is he saving Bermuda LMFAO what has he done?!!! There are still thousands of peole without work (black Bermudian People).. Everyone seems to have forgotten about housing, which nothing has been done about that.. Hotels can now get wavers on posting a job that Bermudians can do.. ANd the thing with that is how many other wavers are in the making that we don’t know about.. I’ll only guess that he will be a PRC holder in the next couple of years, but we the people won’t hear about that.. So what this great plan that Dunkely as to offer huh?!!! or may be is saving your kinda of Bermuda? LMFAO And the OBA is creating jobs for Bermudians lol HOW?!!! What the hell are these people doing to save this island? You people make laugh….

Is it possible that Kangoocar is one of those paid OBA bloggers? Not that he engages in that dirty tricks program; but does he have any shame; taking money out of the mouth of the unemployed and under mining his OBA government’s plan to create 2;000 jobs? no the real shame is that he don’t need it; all the money he is sitting on and enjoying Bermuda’s status as a low tax jurisdiction-does e have any shame?

So are we to believe that there is no ambition within the OBA? Not one other MP was interested in rising to the ranks of Leader or Deputy Leader? And even more curiously not one other member was interested in becoming Chairman? What happened to the over 1000 members that voted for Leader in their last leadership contest? There was not 1 other that thought he or she could do a good job as Chairman.

” Work our way out of this mess not talk our way out”.

*****BUDGET CUTS*****.

Many countries are putting in to place massive cuts by drastically reducing the applied budgets to a long list of unproductive programs.

It is doing more with less at the same time streamlining jobs while improving efficiency, revising job descriptions with revised pay checks.

it is time to do the same here as over half the services are not needed or can be reduced by 50 %, there is always a better way of doing things at the same time eliminating the red tape .

Stop the running around this is not a game, we are in business to do business.

Move into the 25 Th Century by revising the Government budget or cause immediate cut backs now.

Bermudians can not afford to live here.

Visitors can not afford to come here.

Because we are all over taxed!

We can not wait till next year, winter is coming.

If we don’t act now we will all be out of a job.

I looked back at the Furbert re election article. On the issue of unopposed re election, several people you class as OBA supporters also said they had no problem with the unopposed nature of the re election. They took issue with other OBA sympathisers, and spoke in defence of the BIU and Furbert on that issue.

But the converse is unfortunately not true. PLP supporters were the first posters on this article, critical of the exact same thing-the unopposed nature of the election. And NO PLP supporters have had the integrity to do what the OBA supporters did on the Furbert article.

So it’s easy to see who is hypocritical, if that was your intended implication.

I think the PLP have people creating fake usernames/accounts to post/vote down comments on this board. Someone should be investigating the IP addresses…I bet they all come from a handful of devices.
