I agree Cow Polly. In my opinion, all children born in Bermudian are Bermudian whether they have the stamp or not. If a person arrived early in life and went to school all the way through and is now working and has a family of their own they are Bermudian. There is no reason they should be denied the rights we all enjoy just for a slip of paper. It is the Government’s fault for allowing them to stay that long and establishing roots on our island. It is too late to go back in time and the only right thing to do at this point is to give them what they have been long overdue!

This should have been a no brainer – I’ve experienced first hand the pain that is caused because one child (through no fault of its own) is deemed ‘non Bermudian’ whilst the rest can enjoy the privileges of being classed as a Bermudian and its not just which line they go through when returning to the island. Those who protest against this have no heart and no soul.

Looks like your afraid to realize that they do have 2500 members. Oh wait you probably want “realistic” names. I suggest before you speak to research by looking at the list of people on their group page. Why would you suggest this wait until after an election. Looks like you want to deny a human right of someone that has lived in Bermuda forever their human right to be able to vote. Either way this needs to be resolved ASAP before or after an election. Waiting for an election to be called should not be the solution to stall for a resolution

The high levels of ignorance in Bermuda is beyond believable I think all the smart folks left the island long time ago and the dumb remain to march b!%@h and moan every week and their goal is to have a jack tail government who gives them hand outs and feeds them crap negative devivsive control propaganda.

“When a person lives in a country for a long time, puts roots down in the community, makes friends and has family in Bermuda – their right to respect for private and family life is engaged. When these people have no pathway to long-term security, their rights are infringed.”

I agree completely, but only if you lived in the country for that period legally.

Bermuda has always had a pathway to citizenship – marry the locals. We should grant citizenship to anyone willing to live here at this point – but we are governed by law.

Who cares about the data? What kind of a country says “let’s disenfranchise our citizens’ children, and let’s kick out people born here and who have spent their whole lives here, because of a lack of data”?

This is a simple question of fairness and justice. People who belong to Bermuda are being denied basic human rights because of dirty political motives. Bermuda has to fix this, or Bermuda has no soul.

They dont have 2500 memebers and most of their signatures were duplicates.

This can wait until after the election
