Well if you have a better idea to pay off the debt that was left to the OBA I’m sure the finance minister would welcome your suggestions.

Only if the Premier agrees. The Governor may revoke the Premier’s appointment, but It’s up to the Premier whether to allow another person to form the Govt or whether we go to the Polls.

Well said Real Onion! What a disaster we would have on this island. If the PLP got back in.How would any person vote for PLP. It just goes to show you it is about race and not who can serve Bermuda to its fullest. What a bunch of haters. Keep up the fantastic work OBA. Enjoyed your talk this morning MR PREMIER! You are the best!

Seen it – airport, hotels, sports tourism, stimulate overseas investment, reduce the deficit and start to pay down the debt, while reducing government costs by attrition rather than mass firings.

Bob is doing a good job, as the ratings agencies attest, and it’s a difficult job because of mess caused by the sheer incompetence by the PLP under Cox, Brown, Burt and Co.

And that’s without BS christian conservatism beloved of the lying PLP

People do you still have a Job? Did you get a job under the OBA? While you may want more you should be content that your quality of life has not declined. When PLP was in power I lost my job. Life was not easy. Now I have a job……so my vote is simple. OBA.

Shallowness?

The PLP have a vision, no plan, and even that vision is seriously flawed.

The PLP were a complete disaster in Government and you want them back?

What on earth is the reason? Skin colour?

In that case, based on past performance & lack of any current plan other than planning to have a plan, the PLP should lose by a massive landslide.

That newly elected leader would still have to demonstrate to the Governor that they can command a majority in the House of Assembly in order to be appointed as the Premier. They, too, would inevitably face a vote of no confidence initiated by the Opposition should the Governor go out on a limb and appoint them.

It is possible that the election could be held as late as the first week of May 2018.

David Burt said gay people will not be left behind in the next election what he really meant is we are putting them back in the closet because he has an unprogressive mind and is using his old UBP Wayne to do it for him what other nonsense will they get up to when they get their hands on the cash drawer

These near hysterical posting demonstrate the shallowness of the OBA supporters.

MPs Pettingill and Crockwell both left the OBA after losing confidence in the leadership of Premier Dunkley. MP Crockwell was scathing in his comments when he resigned and MP Pettingill castigated the OBA during the final debate over the airport.

It appears as though they are prepared to take the next logical step.

One option for the OBA is for them to elect a new leader. Not sure who it would be but choosing MP Richards would be a non starter.

Tourism on the up & up, a hotel about to break ground in St Georges, Cruise Ships in St Georges, Pink Beach rebuilt & re opened, ground finally broken on a new terminal at half the cost of a PLP proposal, business up in any category you care to mention. Then there is some little boat race that has stimulated all kinds of activity on the water.

And Burt wants to call for a vote of no confidence!!!!! Give us a break!
His colleagues need to call a vote of no confidence in their so-called leader.

David Burt is a dangerous and arrogant little man. Drunk on his own perception of power. Along with Mr crockwell and Mr Pettingill you have the most nasty opportunists in the history of bermuda. PLP/UBP – taking bermuda backwards one selfish politician at a time.

Totally agree that it’s just another of the PLP’s political stunts but I think it’s already been clarified that an election can be called as late as May of 2018

SO Burt found his way to try and disrupt the AC anyway. Well done PLP.

I bet the people who blocked it in December would be outraged, but I also bet that these demonstrators would not be pepper sprayed

I wish the Premier would call the election after America’s Cup. Everyone is getting tired of the 2 Bermuda’s and those who say it doesn’t exist are living a ubp/oba lie.

Why else would they change the name from UBP to UBP/OBA?

If you had confidence in the voters/PEOPLE you would call it, but since you don’t confidence in the people the people have no confidence in you as a LEADER.
