It appears to be a big mess right now and it’s time the PLP pulled together. To be fair, Marc Bean handled things head on but I did not approve of his tirades and behavior in the House. I have voted for both parties in the past as both frustrated me with their empty promises , egotistical agendas etc. The political arena clearly creates dirty business and when I see the disastrous USA campaigns I fear for our future. It seems the world’s leaders have forgotten who they serve and every day you read about some scandal that has been exposed. We are a small island and take so much for granted ..we get so involved with infighting we miss the big picture. I hope Marc Beans health improves and he appreciates the important things in life like family.
Meanwhile, I’m sick of hearing about the Americas Cup and the , airport when there’s so much in our country that needs immediate attention.
I really don’t know which party will get my vote next time round….

Wow…what a relief. To get a comment from Land Evans that does not denigrate Bermudians nor distort the historical record in a racist way. His forte I might add.

Maybe there is a God after all!

Good people in both partys. The problem is that they are like sheep and have no real voice. they vote along party lines and most dont speak up. We have seen what happens on both sides when you do.

Unlike you I see the big picture and could not care less what party he stood for. I didnt agree with everything he said and did. However, he DID acknowledge that their were some serious problems and abuses within his party. For that he was persecuted as all of could see.
He should have known better than to challange the legion of doom. Brown, Desilav, Burch and Burt. He paid for it.
The leader of your party was sick …meanwhile the focus of the PLP was on a non bermudian man that should not have the right to use the word reverend in front of his name.

The PLP never stood strong, it is a stupid tag line that served to brainwash a voter.

PLP are a bunch of individuals scrapping for self.

Marc Bean tried to put a stop to the nonsense in the party. He couldn’t.

At least he tried, I give him credit for attempting that monumental task. The PLP are a mess. You know it and I know it. How long are you going to pretend it is different to fool the people of Bermuda Betty???????

ps Stand strong and Move Forward = A contradiction.

or do you mean that is the best the PLP can hope for is to get itself together to halt the decline. effectively a forward movement compared to its current trajectory into the abyss.

Where did I bash Marc exactly. I was speaking to OBA one term about what he said. We all make mistakes and most of us learn from tge mistakes of others. The fact that OBA one term STIL thinks it is okay to talk like this is what I have a problem with. I have respect for most politicians on both sides and the time they give to serve their country. I believe none are perfectand all make mistakes and I am not affiliated with any party. I vote for the person not the party.

Then by your reasoning, the OBA should be given a longer chance to fix the mess that they inherited. Right off the bat, the PLP were running afoul in their first term, accomplishing little, but the arguement was they deserved a second chance. In the OBA’s first term the have managed to halt the unemployment and economic free fall we were in, turn around the tourism free fall we were in, and more than half the government deficit without implementing austerity measures. The PLP and their supporters will not even acknowledge this, but the OBA has done more for Bermudians and recovering this country and Bermudians than the PLP could have ever accomplished (I base this on the policies they were following before the last election and the policies they have promised to return us to and implement should they return). So why should the OBA not be given a second term, to see how much further they can take us back from the brink the PLP left us and want to take us back to?? No government can make any Bermudian successful, they can only try to stimulate an economic environment where Bermudians can work toward that success for themselves, and the PLP failed in that regard and it cost Bermudians, their own ardent supporters, and set this country back. It can take years to build a successful economic environment, but it doesn’t take long to destroy it, an obvious lesson when you look at decades of our history, and not just the last 4 years, or 18, or 60.

Unfortunately the PLP growth years were primarily because thousands of people died. New IB set up following 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. Without those disasters the new companies would not have been formed, and growth would not have happened. The groundwork for IB had been put in place years before by the UBP.

At the end of the day, the persons who run the country are responsible for services to the general public — it is the opposition party who holds them accountable and transparent. We can not afford, as a country to see public funds, mis-used or over-spent.

The PLP increased spending massively before the recession. The deficit reached 300 million before the recession started.

Even with no recession Bermuda would be massively in debt.

Thank you for your excellent service Hon. Marc Bean. I appreciate your ability to call a spade a spade. Expecting people to improve their standards was a tall order. Not your fault. The standard bar for MP’s is lower than a snake’s belly. If only people would listen to the words that came out of your mouth. Truth hurts. Now all we’re left with is a den of snakes. What’s really going on in this country? The ignorant would think that Bermuda is pristine and not capable of it all. LOL! If it wasn’t so sad, I’d reply Lmfao!!

May God help us all!

Yes we were going through a recession so that’s why the PLP should not have put us in such a large debt they should have been conserving our money instead of spending it with that no remorse. Mr. Bean it is very sad that your PLP members have forced you out of your position that should truly show you what type of party you joined. I truly believe that the only reason the PLP want to get back in is because of power and greed. The OBA I believe is doing their upmost for the people of this island and not their pockets. No not everybody has jobs and it is very hard for lots of people out there but if you remember the Paula coxes and Colonel Burch were the ones that ran a lot of the companies out of this island. That’s when so many Bermudian lost good jobs. It is amazing how so many people have forgotten why the OBA won the election. They won it because so many of the PLP members were disenchanted with their party And the way they were running the country into so much Debt so they just did not vote.

Only a fool would think that talking to anyone like that is normal and okay.
Anyway I wish Marc well. The PLP turned their back on him and he has learnt a valuable lesson. He tries ro standup in support of what he thought was right but was made to sit back down again. There were a few exceptions; his true supporters friends and family. Lesson learned. Perhaps if he gained a 1/4 of the backing and support during these difficult times as many within the PLP gave Reverand Tweed would be growing insteadvof imploding.

Marc take care of your health family and business. Some things are much more important in life.
