I agree Premier Dunkley is a great person and I don’t think by no means does he want anything bad for this country along with his team. They are true BERMUDIANS not like Brown he just had a vendetta against this country. He does not give a dame about you people. Do you see him around only when it suits him. Please wake the hell up. Stop thinking color and think about your country and your future.

Please, will someone remind me of any time in which the sitting government refused to answer a Parliamentary question? Perhaps there has been a time or two, which I also don’t remember precisely, in which MPs were told that there was no answer immediately available, but that is not a refusal. Perhaps I missed it while I was away.
However, I remember very clearly Dr. Brown’s actual, point-blank refusal to answer a Parliamentary question with the insulting dismissive, divisive “that’s a plantation question” comment. I remember it so clearly because I was vocal in my objection to his behavior. It was one of the first indications that respect for protocol, principles and the rule of law had fallen by the way-side. Has anything changed?

Premier Michael Dunkley is one of the BEST people we have lead this island in a long Time.
He is honest, transparent and is dedicated to making life better for
BERMUDIANS…….

If this is a matter that causes the PLP brain trust to meet, discuss and issue a press release, Bermuda cannot possibly have any serious problems—right?

Nothing but a poor effort to distract us from the issues they are facing!

what email address does the PLP have so I can ask questions of their leadership?

By: Triangle Drifter

Maybe that is the reason the PLP hate him so much. He is a complete opposite of ‘he who cannot be named’.

Interacting with people one- on -one is even MORE beneficial. He will be hiding behind his e-mail set-up.
Hey!! Wait!! That is not this man’s style to get out there and mingle with the electorate. Immigration Reform proved that. He ducked and ran to AVOID the results of his actions. Too many thorns out there for his liking.
He has not done well with the electorate.Skeletons hang wildly in his closet and in front of his face.

For anyone to complain of a chance to email the leader of Bermuda is plain stupid. Even if 1,2,0r3 emails were answered a week,thats plenty IMOP! Can you imagine the garbage questions he will get. 75% of these emails will be deleted and rightly so. This is a good thing people, I will be one to email the Leader of Bermuda with a question that concerns my neighborhood and community and not one that concerns me personally. It can be a good a way to keep his troops in check!

They complain he doesn’t listen, he sets up an email for the public so he can hear from them more readily and they complain it’s all electioneering… they complain that the BTA is an ineffective waste of money because it didn’t turn around tourism right away like they promised they could back in ’98, but right about when they predicted we would begin to see an uptick from their new marketing strategies, we start to see an uptick and the PLP start mouthing that it needs to be maintained (like the BTA doesn’t know what they need to be doing, they already called it with their strategies)… Let’s face it, the PLP’s only purpose right now is to tear the government down, rather than lift this country up… seems they are Bermuda’s Donald Trump Republican Party. Guess that make the PC their Tea Party.

I dare to say that Premier Dunkly is by far the most straight forward and most approachable premier since the days of Sir John Swan!!

No big fancy bodyguards or transportation escorts!
Meet the people. (I remember those days)

Oh no, because the PLP have never resorted to pre-election shenanigans right? It’s called ‘politricks’ for a reason, both sides do it and are equally full of it in their own way.

If something is doing a year and a half prior to an election, is that regarded as ‘pre-election’ now?

Or is the PLP saying it would like an election very soon? The PLP MP’s don’t seem to be talking to each other these days.

They don’t want to listen anyway to what the OBA has to say from the beginning. The plp followers ask about the airport so the OBA has meeting and all they do is make a lot of bloody noise. No noise when they built a waste of space hospital. No noise when money was being wasted. God help us if they get back in. Right now they are having inside major problems with the leader ship how come the followers are not making any noise about that. Really

A bunch of big babies is right. The PLP have been in election mode since December 18, 2012. Vision 2025 was unveiled two years ago – someone tell me that’s not an election manifesto!?

The OBA is a messy lot but the PLP really needs to get it’s own house in order if they want want anyone to take them seriously.

If Mark Bean is the leader of the PLP next election and you don’t build the new airport I will vote OBA.

If Mark Bean is not the leader of the PLP next election and you build the new airport I will vote PLP.

The only purpose of this email is score political points, and to distract the voters?
I guess this desperate plp statement is a genuine and necessary way to educate the public on matters of Great importance, and to keep the people of Bermuda well informed… No way is this an attempt to score political points *eyeroll*

Sending the Premier and email to ask a question will be like the PATI Act. People who have already requested information have experienced that not all is revealed back.

The Premier will never disclose everything in response. He should stick to making the PLP look bad and stop making promises on things no Politician can deliver on.

THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

& while your’re add it Premier fire the imbecile who recommended this idea 2day.

Isn’t that the hallmark of a good leader? To delegate with authority to get the job done.

If he was able to answer 100% of the questions, you would be complaining that he is not giving you the right answer. Catch 22!!

but will they? his Ministers and MPs are the same ones who refuse to or are unable to answer Parliamentary questions. This is all for show. Will the emails be covered under PATI?

By: inna

inna — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 17:07:42 +0000

The fact that the “spokesperson” took the time out to formulate a response speaks volumes. Jahmal, nothing to do today?? Lots of hot air around today!

The PLP are the ones in election mode as their modus operandi seems to be: tear down everything the OBA says and point fingers in every direction but back at ourselves.

By: Terry

Terry — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 17:01:33 +0000

Not often do I agree with the PLP of late but they have a valid point here.

No way in hell will Mike Dunkley be able to answer 90% of these questions.

His Ministers and MP’s and others in various departments to which the question/s relate, will.

Happy Tuesday.
