		<description><![CDATA[Guess you don&#039;t know the meaning of worse.

Stemming the losses of jobs, cutting the PLP $400mn deficit in half, numerous hotel developments and refurbishments happening, a major sports event attracted to our shores, increasing tourism numbers etc.

Yeah sure is worse.  

Facts surely don&#039;t matter anymore in a post-truth world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PLP cut the education budget by over $10mn in the 2011/12 budget whilst still paying $100mn+ to foreign consultants and paying millions in so called &#039;cost overruns&#039; incapital projects that were awarded to their insiders.

Education has been broke for decades.  The UBP couldn&#039;t fix it, the PLP couldn&#039;t fix it and the OBA is facing the same issue.

And once again no monies were given to hotel developers.    Every island now offers incentives as a means to entice hotel development.  But for some reason you think that the most expensive island in which to do business can sit back and pretend like we are special and that any developer are clamoring to set up a business here.  Completely clueless.

I just wish for once you PLPers would actually use real facts when debating instead of made up nonsense.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, if the PLP did anything they actually brought the ignored 2 Bermuda&#039;s to the forefront of our everyday lives. 

People like myself who have long witnessed the 2 Bermuda&#039;s are actually glad it is in the spotlight like this because it showcases what a lot of Bermudians are going through on a daily basis instead of sweeping it under the rug as past governments have done and people like yourself have done.

People are actually talking more about it. My hopes are that we all continue to converse about this topic until we can finally merge them and think of our country as 1! Its the only way forward for Bermuda. If we continue to ignore this problem and sweep it away, you will always have a large share of the population that feels left out no matter what they do. It will fester and show its head at the most unreasonable of times.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The PLP is very good at catchy but meaningless slogans/kool aid, waving flags around, giving people who are otherwise doing nothing something to do for a few days, rent a crowd &amp; being hollow on any plans, but it all sounds &amp; looks good to the easy to fool voter who is looking for easy &amp; free stuff.

When it comes to actual management of Government finances &amp; the economy it is very easy to see that ability is seriously lacking. This should not be surprising. Look around the ranks of the PLP, see any successful business people self made employing any more than a few people?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Biggest joke of a comment from PLP/UBP from the UBP writer JS! It amazes me that people believe this rubbish. Slogans and sound bites in a TRUMPIST style - btw the PLP/UBP are using Trump campaign strategists! So PLP/UBP do you think you would have brought Pink Beach, st Regis and Morgan&#039;s Point to fruition? Do you think you would have brought the budget back to near balance? Clown day at the circus!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great analysis, but the word on the street from the swing voter ( which is about 10% of the votes ) who truly decides the election is that while they may not like some of the things the oba has done , at the same time they do not believe David Burt and the PLP are ready to lead the country yet.
They still don’t trust this with the PLP.

The PLP needs to rebrand and get new faces just as the oba does]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being in the press for the sake of being in the press is all it takes to win your vote? If the plp where issuing some common sense ideas about how to move Bermuda ahead and why we should vote for them then I would listen. 

Releases such as the above insult us, we expect more than fantasy politics, the plp are treating us like a market place where brand awareness is more important than quality. We are more sophisticated than that!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whine, whine, whine - when the two political parties begin to work in the interest of people and not their self interest you will see a sustained party in place.  Until then the electorate will be kicking these chaps in and out.  No more super majorities in this country.  Good bye!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Agreed, Kevin.  OBA is not perfect but getting the job done.  This article is again dividing our country into two different Bermudians, which I don&#039;t like.  We are one Bermuda and we are all Bermudians.  We are all in this s$%£ together.  White, black, tall, short, big, small.  Yes, there is inequality in Bermuda.  Yes, the OBA needs to do MUCH MUCH more with education, energy, environment.  However, to put a statement out like this is a complete embarrassment for the PLP.  They are inferring that the people will vote just to get the OBA out instead of putting out a sensible platform saying what the PLP WILL do if the winds of change blow them back in.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What does an election in the Turks and Caicos have ANYTHING to do with Bermuda?  It is ironic that they are claiming winds of change when the party that created the situation in which the British government had to take control was lead by a good friend of a former Premier of Bermuda.  Is this the PLP distancing itself from that relationship, which they thought was wonderful a few short years ago?

It is just noice-maiking and acting like they have allies in the Caribbean when the reality is the exact opposite.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear PLP,

I am a supporter but as a Party you are still not learning from what has happened in the USA, UK, France and now Bahamas. Voters are TIRED of the same old.

This is a phenomenal opportunity for the PLP to re-engage the ENTIRE electorate after the OBAs many mis-steps since December 2012.

If you are observing the &#039;Winds of Change Blowing Across the Caribbean&quot; why are you rolling out Kim Swan, Wayne Furbert, Paula Cox as Candidates?

Your strategy appears like a 1998 version of &quot;Lets Vote out the UBP&quot; not a 2017 &quot;Lets include everyone and mover Bermuda Forward&quot;

Please think very carefully before you roll out more Candidates as you have already lost the imagination of the Voters in Constituency number 2.

Hoping for real Change in Bermuda]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What loses elections is the notion that elected officials forget they are serving the public and begin serving themselves.  What wins elections is the hope that the next person will do better.  All of the parties are guilty of self-serving, broken promises, OBA, UBP and PLP.  All long on words short on character.  

The next winning party will be centered on moral values as well as monetary value.  No matter how much money we have, we will always need more if we don&#039;t address our moral and social issues.]]></description>
