Mr.Christopher Famous has my deepest Respect as a writer, commentator ,and political analyst’s a frequent writer in the Caribbean News, and increasingly becoming a historian in his own right. To research the amount of facts that he is currently doing absorbs lots of time ,devotion, and dedication. I have been following his progress as an authority on Bermuda politics. I wish him much luck in the future in educating the Bermuda Public forward as we move slowly to becoming and Independent Island Nation. Peace.

Wouldn’t it be more anti-bermudian to attempt to sell our country to foriegn creditors??? That is what the PLP were doing, and in fact have promised to do again. Or is it just that you think the PLP can magically make everyone rich and equal… they did so well at it after 14 years after all. 14 years of the PLP’s social, political and financial leadership left their own supporters even worse off than when they promised to fix education and social equality the first time. Or do you still believe that it wasn’t their fault that unemployment and financial debt was on a runaway train. Took them only a few years to flush us down the toilet, gonna take decades to fix.

never has bermuda been so divided I’m a supporter of the PLP and I give the OBA their respect but all I’ve observed is so much things that were not thought out properly its a dame shame the things they have put our country through starting with the honorable list Craig, Michael, Michael, Bob, Shawn, hitching a ride fella, referendum, immigration,, and the airport that will go down in history as the must tragic deal of all, this dishonorable list is just started. Now rental cars, $$$$$ investigations, school mold, the list goes on and on I’m sure I’ve missed many don’t forget the rip of of the contract from Mr. McLean = watergate or should I say dockgate

It’s too late …Bermudas future is bleak…PLP or OBA…none of them can stop what is coming…The OBA has been operating under the “shock n awe” of the PLP since the day they were elected by the “people”…they’ve done a tremendous job while having to waste time and money on the PLP distractions and continuous mind conditioning of the people…THINK! for yourselves or are you just a souless sheep.

@ Onion Juice

What is so pro-bermudian about the PLP? Running our country into extreme levels of debt that won’t be reversed for decades? The OBA are far from perfect, but the anti-bermudian argument is played out. I am Bermudian and the PLP have hurt my future far more during their reign of terror than the OBA have.

You could equally say Dunkley was disappointed to learn Shawn was not the person he portrays himself to be. Even the PLP have said Shawn would not be welcome, despite welcoming the likes of Wayne Furbert (ex leader of the UBP)and other ex UBP members.

There seems to be consensus that the OBA serverley lacks leadership and the PLP is not a viable alternative. Yikes!! Bermuda is in a serious dilemma. So what are the people going to do? Historically we have just continued with the same system that has produced these unfavorable results. It is time to do something different. If you want change then bring about that change. Those who believe they can do better and truly serve the people, run an an independent in the next election and let’s see how serious we are about changing our precious island.

Can Mr. Famous now do an equally poignant piece about the PLP’s weak leadership, and lack of ideas on how to right the mess they set us on?mjust because the PLP likes to promote an illusion of them as a united party, in no way means that they are. The divide has existed long before ’98 and the shadow cabinet split was only on of the latest incidents, and all indications are that its won’t be the last.

Mr. Famous omitted his lack of leadership and weakness on the Marriage Equality issue that was major to voters the Furbert hate Bill and the shameful 21 will stick forever in our minds

The OBA has managed Bermuda’s affairs under dire constraints. Looking presently and in the near future we need to stay on course with them. To do otherwise is simply not an option.

Hey , if Shawn says the man is no good for the country , then he would know . Dunkeley and Shawn used to go to America together watching the Dallas Cowboy games , Shawn was disappointed to learn that Dunkley was really not the person he portrays himself to be .

On point… it’s biased.. That’s about all that can be said about it. Chris’s opinion has been nothing other that what the PLP want him to say… IE the Healthcare Bill… This act was discussed by the relevant advisory bodies and approved… The point is.. to reduce healthcare costs (something that is not in the best interest of most Doctors). Just because some Doctors don’t like it doesn’t make it wrong!!

Our Dr’s are overcharging and giving tests that are not needed!!!!

Agreed and for once he did not try and indicate the PLP was a viable alternative. They are not, I think the OBA lacks leadership and a collaborative approach, the PLP were arrogant as well and have proven to be incapable of managing even a tiny project.

the options for the voters at this next election are bleak.

Wait..dont you work for the PLP? if so 1 why dont you write a piece detailing their weakness and failures? 2 you have a one sided political position that leaves you unable to make balanced comment.
Hell i dont even like the oba and i think they are a bunch of confused,indecisive weakling. Its just that I am terrified for Bermuda if the PLP are reelected.
oh forget it i am wasting my time..

Blind, deaf and dumb – he does not care, neither does he need to. The job is just a hobby – check that off my bucket list.
There may be a huge price to pay for this Quo Fata Ferunt attitude.
