Your comment about race and party allegiances is what is dividing. Glass house.

Funny how the both parties when they are the opposition sign the collaboration song and when they are the government of the day, take their toys and go home to plot about benefits for friends and family.

More independents should run in the next election. If 5 to 7 independent seats win then you will finally see collaboration. I will vote independent for a feral chicken over these clowns and their party politricking.

You mean like the PLP were. I don’t think so. They did not give a dame about any of you except there own pockets. Giving you free rides and nurseries was a ploy to keep you from watching what they were really doing. When you have the likes of brown, Burges, cox etc that is and was a disaster waiting to happen. Brown telling us that he is going to bring the country to its knees and you all thought he was great. Now you got the great union leader threatening the livelihood of his own people sometihing is really wrong with people’s mindset. It’s about being jealous because this government is doing a good job.

Burt is vexed that the PLP couldn’t appoint a bunch of people who have their ear and who would release material to the PLP to use and twist into their stupid lies and twisting of the truth. What I find funny is how the PLP did nothing for education while they had 12 years to educate the young-instead it seems that their motto is keep em uneducated and they will believe every lie we put their way—-
Wake up Bermuda-the PLP lies are no different than the Trump lies

Probably the only hope they have, or ever had, is to grow the economy. Their biggest mistake was letting various groups derail and slow them down. It looks like they’ve finally decided to get on with it, but it could very well be too late.

If Bermuda votes to return the PLP to government, that’s it for Bermuda. They almost destroyed it in the 14 years of terror, but this time they’d be starting with an empty till.

They lack the wit, intelligence and foresight to develop any sort of economic plan.

By: sandgrownan

sandgrownan — Sat, 14 Jan 2017 13:13:31 +0000

That’s ridiculous, how on earth do you come to the conclusion that the PLP are inclusive?

“we don’t care what you think”
“We’re in charge now”
“We had to deceive”

Never mind the “kids in a candy store” mentality and the utter, sheer and complete incompetence.

The PLP should open every single day by apologizing to the people of Bermuda. Every day, for the absolute mess they left behind. The mere fact we have made progress is a credit to the OBA (warts and all).

It is not about winning or losing, its about what is right for the island. If the OBA lose, the whole island loses.

Maybe one of the most important things that can be done is for this airport to be signed off and started before the election just for that reason. We know the PLP have an voracious ability to make money disappear, so putting this project out of reach is of national importance.

“i was a fool to trust this government”- maybe

“I am about to be a fool when i elect a PLP governement following years of cast in stone unapologetic incompetence” -definitely

Since your voting judgement has a history of being very poor, perhaps you should stay home on election day and stop watering down the quality of the vote.

At the last general election the OBA won the majority of seats and therefore were elected as the government of Bermuda. Proposals put forward by the elected government are then discussed in parliament under our Westminster system. That’s how the system is supposed to work. What has gone wrong here?

By: Glenorca

The qualifications of those selected are not being questioned. The lack of consultation of others -public, unions & plp in the selection of the individuals is been questioned. Handpicked by Richards alone is the problem. What’s transparent about this?

You really think the UBP/OBA will win the next election than tell Dunky to call the election now. That way the OBAERS can see this chance you speak about. They need 15% of the black population to win. You think they have it now. This is not 2012 I was a fool when I trusted this Government.

How can he share a share the report with people who are not going to vote on its passage and at the same time refuse to show it to the people who have to vote on it?

Let all MP’s have it so that they can make an informed decision.

This is not rocket science and neither is it being transparent.

Trickery!!!

“Please lets get on with working together” – If only the OBA would do that, then Bermuda would have less division.

The OBA preached bi-partisanship, transparency, accountability and collaboration in 2012, and since then it has been anything but.

I would take the PLP over the OBA if they can get the country to work together, which sadly the OBA have proven they cannot do.

At some point many Bermudians want this government to do what they were elected to do …we want you to just show true leadership and get on with getting this our island back on track ..building the economy to grow jobs …we are very well aware of the tactics of the plp they need you to fail the biu and peoples campaign are all the same they need you to fail their only chance of winning the next election is if the OBA fail to show results so any and all initiatives they will attempt to block … please lets get on with working together to right the wrong our childrens children depend on it
