The right-wing conservatives in Bermuda are Furbert and Burt.

While I’m certain Mr. Simons has good intentions, I suspect he is very inexperienced for this position.

Just my view……

What will history say was her measurable forte while in the Senate? When Ms Alexis Swan was in we read op-edvpieces and since her demise not One Singlr, Solitary word. The same for Georgia. Andrew will have op eds but his hands won’t get dirty where it counts in the field. Too young and inexperienced…..the new criteria to be a Senator.

Its obvious the plp are the right wing of our country – against himan rights and acting for their own financial gain sounds pretty right wing to me. Lol.

I knew you back in the youth sailing programs years ago on Whites Island. You were younger than most. But still a leader.

This man has put the time and dedication into academics and services to our country.

I believe he will fit well in the Senate! (More “seasoned veterans” watch out!)

Constituency 33 has never not been a PLP seat. And constituency 13 has been PLP since the single seat constituencies were introduced in 2003.

Maybe you were one of those who were surprised, but the rest of Bermuda was not when Simmons and Rabain won their respective bye-elections.

Marshall had no appeal whatsoever and going into election they trying to show their ‘diversity’.
Surprised Andrew would accept based on how they abandoned him at the polling station when he lost to Diallo Rabain. It was awful.

I would prefer if the Senate was a place for mature consideration by seasoned veterans, as it used to be.

She is giving up after serving only 2 years. Wow that tells me she isn’t truly committed.
