The leader of the UBPee sorry I mean OBA and his merry mice pushed for the Commission of Inquiry. Vic Ball is OBA and was part of the investigation and so were other individuals that support the PLP. The results of the investigation have been made public.

However Vic Ball remains a OBA Senator!!!!.

It’s almost like the ubp/oba are saying do as I say not as I do. The Premier should have terminated Vic when the results of the investigation came back, but he refused Vic’s resignation.

Now what is that telling the rest of Bermuda. If I recall on ZBM news he even commented that it took place years ago. What difference does it make everything in the investigation happened years ago with Dr.Brown and D.Burgess according to the investigation also.

Jeff Baron you appear to be a good person. My advice get out while you can.

I stayed quiet and observed in shock when the PLP were the government. I figure they might get elected next and I have promise myself i will not be as courteous this time.

Agree! If Bermudians REALLY want to see this place move forward and prosper they should NEVER vote the PLP back in again. They are clueless!!

WRONG Minority means there is a larger group. There isn’t a larger group, there is an equal group and two independents.

So the OBA are not a minority. the independents are minorities.

Nothing wrong with voting with conscience than strictly party lines. I wish others in both parties would do so occasionally, or turn independent.

I like Mr.P…but he’ll still be around sooo…hey…pssst…plp…don’t worry…this one man down is temporary n’you knowit.

How is 17 to 17 a “minority government”? Is that new math?

Last time I checked 17 was equal to 17. There is a difference between being a minority and not having a majority, something all Bermudians are familiar with

It will be interesting to see how this unfolds -it sure will have everyone’s focus for the next while until an election is called.

Minority Governments tend to do more for the broader community than when a party hold all the cards and ram through legislation in our ‘winner take all’ form of Governance.

When you don’t come from wealth and other sources of an annual income, money often trumps meaning.

a weakened OBA is still a million times better than the strongest PLP possible, and under the OBA my tax dollars are a lot more likely to be spent on Bermuda

Does the PLP really think with its appalling track record of (mis)managing the county’s finances, the “we had to deceive you” and “we don’t care what you think” mentality that they could do a better job?? How??

@Come on now and @Triangle Drifter: The OBA is now a minority Government, as they only has 17 seats out of the 36 seats.

Although the Official Opposition has 17 seats too, the Opposition, which includes the PLP and both independent MPs, has 19 seats.

19 is greater than 17

Simple Math!

So how is have the math problems?

“I have no doubt the Government will have my support on any number of pending legislative matters”

This statement goes against the essence of independence. How can he legitimately indicate he will be an independent if he is already promising support for the OBA?

For the poster who indicates the MP Pettingill left only because of a potential professional conflict, please read slowly the quote below – (and listen to MP Pettingill’s comments during the airport contract debate about the UBP overtaking the OBA in terms of influence vs the original BDA).

“Furthermore, I have unfortunately found myself diametrically and philosophically opposed to the Government’s position or approach on numerous issues in endeavoring to move Bermuda forward.”

This sentence and previous comments from MP Crockwell speak volumes!!

Why would you single out Vic Ball when he wasn’t the only player? You seriously want to talk about no confidence? I can’t wait for the PLP to get back in but you better hope those feet don’t taste like s**t when they’re in your mouth.

your weak Mr P and I don’t give you nor Mr C much credit. Neither of you were elected as independents and you both know the rules involved of either political party. but the only saving grace is PLP is weaker
