The OBA did not loose the election. The UBP did.
Keep telling yourself that. The OBA will always be linked to the UBP. And no amount of window dressing will make people forget who is really in charge of the parties. I hope there is real campaign finance reform brought to Bermuda. Because politicians and parties ought to show where their money is coming from. Follow the money to see where the influence lies.
I agree, as far as UBP, OBA ,PLP I don’t care …. if you do not practice good government then you should be held accountable …. come on its only 65000 +/- people, lets be sure roads are maintained, trash is picked up, tourists are happy, schools are clean with “A” teachers even if we need to get them off island ….. this is not nuclear science and pass the buck … with UBP,OBA PLP is just reasons to incite politicians insecurities or deflect issues
PS I was very impressed with the upset in D North …(Ithink) I OBA strong hold that turned PLP
thats a unifier ! he should be in cabinet
The PLP, Unions won the election.
Now lets see whats under this HOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t be an A$$ Onion.
You have been telling us for years that we are wrong and now you look under a hood?
You must be in one.
yes, it must be nice for the PLP to come back in after the OBA cleaned up all the PLP mess left behind. opened doors and windows so we got to see all kinds of PLP shenanigans (Whites Island lease, friends and family “consultant” jobs…. so, you’re welcome!
@Onion Juice. Sad the PLP cannot come up with their own phrase. Says it all really. Still need someone else to lead so they can follow.
I will give the UBP/OBA credit where it’s due . When it comes to the Americas Cup and friends and family …. Yah got the PLP beat hands down … I just need conformation on what company got the lions share in that transfer of wealth and whose real estate company benefited the most .
We all know what company took all the cake and the little itty bitty crumbs , as a matter of fact , one of the byes actually showed up at the polls on July 18 and lost …. Haha !
Just imagine if the OBA didn’t waste money on AC and giving away airport for 30 years. Never listened to the people of Bermuda. That’s why they are where they are.
Ha ha – GAVE the airport away – why, you think the current one is good enough?? It is a no brainer to have done the deal it has done. Bermuda cannot do it on its own – we are too small, we do not have a large tourist … face it, it is 26 sq miles, or so. We need input from other places, like it or not, Bermudians (whatever colour, or however they got here).
Cross Island cost $39 million and AC estimated at $77 million for a total of $116 million. $245 million estimated for airport with revenues reciprocated in exchange for CCC overseeing the deal etc etc etc. The $116 million could have been used to start building the airport and the Bda Govt could have kept the Dept of Airport revenues in house. Seems logical and fair.
Remind us the return on the Grand Atlantic $50m, the swimming pool $25m (having been estimated at $8m) and the golf course $25m (having been estimated at $5m). What impact did those things have on the economy? Anything at all for that $100m? or were they only people that benefitted a few contractors?
You’re totally inept when it comes to the figures involved with both projects .
The PLP won so you can quit the lying now .
@Honestly. The OBA failed to do what the SAGE Report told them to do. Fire thousands of Civil Servants. Had they done that you would have a point, but they didn’t instead they used retirements and people leaving. They should have a reward for that, not being trashed.
I can’t wait for election 2022
And the Speaker, Deputy Speaker and Whips?
same old plp stilling running
