David Burt JP MP has stated publicly that

“Our position has always been that MPs should have access to the House if they are doing the people’s business.”

“The airport legislation is not the people’s business because they do not have the people’s mandate for it.”

There you have it.

Not sure how many of you had the PLP’s flyer of ‘hard facts’ on your windshields yesterday – but at least 10 of them are simply falsehoods. Either through ignorance or malevolence.

But – much like Trump tweeting provable lies to his supporters – if people don’t bother researching, they might well believe the lies.

I’m not sure what the answer is in a day when politicians will lie about very easily disproved facts in order to mislead voters. And have no shame when proven wrong. Spreading false narrative is a powerful political tool. What we REALLY need is a voter base with the energy and drive to actually investigate claims by both parties, rather than just ingest what they’re fed.

Hopefully today: the low turnout will be a clear sign that this issue is over – the deal will be finalized in the House and in a few years’ time we’ll have an airport worthy of its name L. F. Wade International…

‘MPs Will Highlight Deficiencies In Legislation’

Bingo, the penny finally drops and you realize what your job is and what you have been elected to do. It’s about time!. Your job Mr. Burt is to go into the house of assembly and point out deficiencies in the Govt bills and have it changed or withdrawn. It isn’t meant to collude with the your mates at the unions in your desperate attempts to bring down the elected government.

Now go to work and earn the money that you get paid to be an MP.

@ mixitup,

LOL. Yeah and we’ll all be living on our knees if the electorate vote the plp back into power anytime soon. They should never had a 2nd and 3rd term but they did and look what it got us. When will you ever learn!

I’ll answer that myself, you wont. LMAO

You act like this is a competition or gameshow. Be very careful of what you wish for…you can’t honestly believe the PLP are better with policies and actual governing than the OBA?! I’ll admit the communication from the OBA is **** but they know what they’re doing. Maybe they can’t connect to the grassroots of Bermuda but overall they are far better than the PLP, and you know it…

The brilliance of Burt. This is the same brilliance that helped run up debt as junior finance minister. That brilliance? Right got it.

The PLP almost ruined Bermuda, if they get anywhere near the levers of power, they’ll do it again.

Again with the “hundreds of millions of profits” lie, it is Burt’s constant persistence to play loose with numbers and financial terminology that convinces me every time that the PLP must never be allowed to have access to the public purse. They aren’t getting hundreds of million in profits, they are getting the hundreds of millions of dollars that they spend to build the airport back with interest, just like we would have to do with any other lender. It’s not profit until the expense has been removed, and if this basic notion has to be explained to a shadow finance minister, don’t let him become the finanace minister.

Or the fact the OBA didn’t even try.

They raised 50 million in a day 4 years ago, but they can’t raise $69 at 16%… OK, and I got a new causeway to sell you.

If that’s the case then why wouldn’t a local company raise the capital and at least match the bid on the table? Methinks because there is a lot of risk for maybe not so much reward as this guy suggests…

Yes, please have your say. The Govt. will have its way, as the duly elected Government of Bermuda.
