PLP simply cannot be trusted at this time. They make all kinds of promises but don’t say where the money will come from. We’ve been here before people! Not now, not ever. Only a complete fool would believe their lies.

PLP moan about race because it’s the only card they have to play. Out of any real ideas, out of f time.

Selling the island to Canadians is worse than whatever the PLP will do! You should cringe at the facts that are stated on the contract.

OBA used all money on their projects. The unnecessary projects. Tell me which island you go to and have a big open brand new airport. Bahamas I know of. Most islands turned these Canadians down like they knew the deal was bad for their country. Not the OBA! Vulnerable people

And yet the PLP granted 20,000 work permits in 3 years, while Bermudians were losing their jobs.

By “better tomorrow”, you mean “better in 2025″, right? In 8 or 9 years.

I’m sure whatever the PLP plans to do won’t be so ridiculous as the OBA! Money down the toilet!

By: Honestly

So you don’t have a problem with the OBA spending such a large amount of money on AC? You people are blind and ridiculous. However I am waiting for the PLP to roll out a plan as well! But the OBA is for self first not Bermudians!!!

That is true. It is in the contract for the airport. Just wait and see!

A lot of companies left the Island in the time of office of the P.L.P.and some companies are contiplating if the P.L.P. win the up comming election…. they are looking for other places to conduct their business…..

Come on people,just look at the candidates running in the PLP, not one of them have a real income….or own their own business….
look at some of the P.L.P.candidates …J.Simmons, he has been in every party and done nothing,R Ming, check out her credentials,and else for flip flop Furbert,Lord have mercy……and else for the Burgess,and his agenda (he plays the race card when ever the @#$% hits the fan…) and else for Swan, the things when he was a UBP supporter said about the P.L.P and now he has become an @#$ kisser…shame on you Kim….at the end of the day it is all about the money not the people..how sad is this…

Why would I vote for PLP vision of division, resentment, xenophobia, hate, intolerance and race-baiting? We lost thousands of jobs when they were last in power and they borrowed huge amounts of money LONG before the economic downturn!!!

That is a lie straight from the gates of hell that Bermudians are not qualified. There is a foreigner at my place of employment who speaks broken English, no one likes to give her work because this individual screws it up but yet this individual is still employed.

When there are numerous Bermudians from the private sector in this field who have been made redundant but are still unemployed. There is economic oppression that is taking place and it is intentional.

Not all seniors are living below the poverty line..??
This is why you must save NOW, while working for your future
There are people working now and still do not manage themselves and money.

These schools did not just get into mold.. It takes time to appear..so the school workers/maintenance/janitors have just done a bad job.

You do not let your own home get like this and then move out..??

In 1998, the PLP Government were handed clean books, little to no debt and accounts that were in order. No real ‘new government’ test for them. All they had to do was to make fiscally sound, sustainable policy. And they would still be the Government. If they do win this election, they will finally have a REAL test of governing, balancing their promises with fiscal prudence. They didn’t do that in 14 years, can they do it now?

“le we are now reached a near 7000 Bermudians that are unemployed, which includes youth who have become of age and can’t find work in their own country.”

7,000 unemployed!

We don’t need to question why they left the OBA. We all know why. The moment we saw their names on the group who appealed to the courts to throw out the Lahey case we knew and we knew how they would vote if the no confidence vote had happened.

As to the rest…what happened to Marc Bean?

Ewart Brown stepped down. Why?

What happened to Jennifer Smith, who Ewart kicked to the curb when he “had to deceive you”? Why did that happen?

I remember when the PLP won in 1998, there was this lady working in the dining room of a hotel industry and she said “Now its our turn, I can now make more money, my Belco bill will come down etc etc” That same lady is still working in the same position at the same hotel.
The mentality is that all of a sudden there will be more jobs, pay will increase or the fairy will come around and magical deliver money to my doorstep.

Again, look over the term of the PLP – read slowly and carefully to allow yourself to understand that the PLP screwed their own people thinking they could get back at the Others as they say of this island. Daily you see new faces on Southside, St. David’s, mothers with children of all ages, senior men and women, fathers with their children, families ripped apart and struggling, no employment (reasons only they know themselves). At one point there was a very expensive black sports car owned by someone living in the men’s quarters. These people were employed, perhaps owned small businesses, had homes or apartments, travelled, had insurance and bank accounts all prior to the PLP’s reign of terror. And you are in agreement with this and will vote for them again – foolishness

The increase in the debt was necessary thanks to the doubling of the Civil Service under the PLP. Had the borrowing not happened they would all be out of jobs and you’d be crying about that.

Health care????? What the PLP did was to build a very pretty hospital that cannot cope with all the patients. PPP remember? Costs have skyrocketed as a result of that.

How do you think the PLP would have done better? These are the guys who built the Grand Atlantic over the objections of anyone involved. One unit sold. *flushing sound*.

Overpayments of millions by the PLP, with no recovery due to completely lax financial policies in Government.

Massive time and cost overruns on each and every project they managed.

Why do you think the PLP will be any different this time?

Oh and how come you conveniently left out the 5 CONSECUTIVE qualified audits the PLP received on the consolidated fund….and the fact that since the OBA all audits since have been unqualified?

They are going to use our pension monies for risky start-up investments…probably a connected one as well given their history with capital projects and taxpayer funds

Lies and alternative facts.

- The deficit has been halved from the PLP’s $400mn hole they left behind; thus if the PLP had stayed in power our debt would have increased by over $3bn given the fact that they persistently increased the deficit with no clue on how to balance a budget.

- the debt rose because of the PLP’s $400mn deficit; if they wanted they could have imposed draconian cuts and balance the budget within a few years; instead they opted not make one civil servant redundant (larges Government expense) and adopted the glide path as suggested by the SAGE commission; in the end the need to borrow is a direct consequence of the PLP’s financial management incompetence

- Government health care deductions decreased for the first time in eons this year whilst my private insurance monthly deductions fell 1.55% with the provider noting that thsi was due to legislative changes over certain plans;

- when the OBA took over the PLP oversaw the loss of 2,000 jobs in their last year alone; actually over their last term in power they saw the loss of nearly 5,000 jobs; so the OBA has stopped the bleeding

- if only immigrants had jobs then does that mean Bermudians have a 100% unemployment rate

PLPers and their alternative fact. Much like how Burt the other day tried to claim that the cruise ships back in St. Georges was due to the PLP. You guys live in an alternate universe.
