The real reason hat JS was voted in is because the voters in 33 were too stupid to know any better. Sad but true.

Absolutely, you can’t have those jobs without money to pay for them .
The funny part is , the opposition knows this , yet they keep trying to separate black and white.

Shawn Crockwell was punished and incarcerated for his crime .Jahmel Simmons wasn’t even charged for his offence .

On to of that he has very little to offer himself or the country. He doesn’t create jobs,he talks about doing for self yet he doesn’t own any businesses .

There are sufficient members of the PLP that have a credible right to question that decision. If we use your argument than we should question any Black persons decision to support the UBP or now the OBA. Where does history start and end for you?

No they didn’t. It remained pretty flat, but it did not reduce.

Wrong—the PLP inherited a debt of approx $165million and the PLP reduced it in the first few years

I have to agree with you all on this one. This is probably the worst decision Mr. Dunkley has made to date. I do hope it does not come back to haunt him. Although, I will also say that I agree people do deserve a second chance, although I am not sure this is the right place to give it.

Not one OBA supporter has offered any valid reason why the public should be accepting of the former Premier becoming a cabinet minister. Not one person has spoken to the benefit of this appointment. Clearly it is not his decision making skills! Mr Dunkley has given us a valid reason for the appointment of the Education Minister but has chosen to not address why or how he thinks that Craigs appointment will benifit the country. Also the OBA committed to reducing the size of Cabinet and yet here they are increasing it!

By: Hahahah

Hahahah — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 16:33:53 +0000

Maybe because the Premier doesn’t care what you or any voters think. He’s the leader now and Craig has returned. Now get back to work.

Craig ascended to Premiership by default. He was not ready. He took bad advice and got in hot water over the handling of a situation where clearly no law was broken. He took responsibility for this by resigning.

Name any PLP MP who has taken responsibility in any way for the reign of terror they inflicted on this island. For the supposedly unethical but apparently not illegal things they did.

Look in the mirror PLP. You people are the true definition of disgusting.

I’m willing to see how Craig does before throwing him to the dogs. Several cohorts are lucky not to be locked up for what they did. I for one hope it gets exposed at some point, and those responsible taken to court and thrown in jail.

However, the worst offender will still get off unscathed – thankfully he doesn’t live here anymore – he went back ‘home’ so we don’t have to see him everyday. Thank goodness.

Same Old PLP, Same Old UBP; ‘A plague on both your Houses.’

By: Sara

Sara — Fri, 16 Jan 2015 14:47:01 +0000

Here are the facts: We all know there were shady things done under the UBP as well as the PLP. The HUGE difference that PLP supporters need to understand is that the PLP didn’t properly balance there budget or heed the warnings of a looming economic crisis and “tighten their belts”. They said the opposition was fear mongering and that Bermuda would not be affected so they continued to spend wildly to the point of crippling debt. I FIRMLY believe that had they heeded the warnings of a looming economic crisis that the government at the time would have been well positioned to handle the crisis because at the time Bermuda had more than enough money coming in from a prosperous economy. You can go back and forth all year long but these facts will never change. Bad math is bad math and numbers don’t lie.

The PLP claim “poor Judgement” – but I believe it could be fear — yep fear of revenge!
CC didn’t do that bad – not as bad as the PLP made him out to be – the Jet Gate thing could and would never be as bad as one former Premier sneaking illegal people here to live and no one except a small click new of it.
After CC ‘s Jet Gate affair I think he has learned his lesson.— Premier Dunkley has to give him somthing — he knows to much.
Just as CC built the OBA he could also destroy it too.
Hey PLP the advise that your leader is taking from DB is bad judgement too.

Serving in the public sphere ain’t easy. We are all flawed as humans. Sunshine is the best disinfectant, I welcome all this discussion and scrutiny. Keep paying attention. And if you want to find out what you’re really made of, run for (and if you’re lucky, hold) elected office.

You must be a ‘New Bermudian” or one that has a white robe with a pointy head piece in your closet to say that the PLP’s “existence” is poor judgement… Black people would likely still be picking cotton if it weren’t for the PLP’s existance.
