Thanks so much Jeanne for Not choosing Nandi…as we can all tell by her Lack of debate in the Senate . Please after the bye election remove her from there ..Andrew Simons all the way.

Scott has clearly had the mantle passed to him from Grant. No surprise there and doesn’t look to be any sort of break in succession. Old family representation baton passing on.

Justin is relatively new by comparison and thus gets to have a go in the less secure district.

Interesting choices, but not any sort of break as Jeanne mentioned. Seems more like the same but younger to me.

So you telling us that more black Bermudians are leaving the oba/UBP to flip flop to PLP. Nothing new there I left the oba/UBP also. Why you think you got beat 24 to 12 seats last election. Black Bermudians are the only ones that swing vote.

Difference is that now know one is swinging back.

Just an observation.
Compare how the OBA candidates are dressed to how the PLP candidates are dressed.

I suppose Mathias would go to work dressed like that but does CD&P allow Pearman to come to work like that and meet with clients?

Sounds like the below is the answer:

“They were respectively born and raised in their parish that they now want to serve.”

Probably not the answer you wanted to continue on the narrative that you desire. But I am sure it won’t stop you from doing so.

agreed. I was only asking as it wasn’t mentioned anywhere. We know Scott Pearman is a lawyer, but the only information given about Mathias is his political service.

As you and Trump share the exact same ideologies, does that make you an idiot as well? Or let me guess your racism, xenophobia and homophobia is somehow ‘different’ and righteous.

Question

Scott Pearman what do you think about same sex marriage?

Justin Mathias what do think about SSM?

If I recall your current leader Jeanne Atherden does not support it.

She talks about the oba/UBP on a new path hmmm. I thought they started being diverse in 2012 hmmmm. What is she saying?…… That the oba/UBP wasn’t diverse all this time.

Both candidates are talking like the PLP/BIU now. They will win both seats hands down. Even Scientist would win in these areas for the UBP. They don’t even have to canvas. The oba/UBP will be the opposition for 20 years plus.

A simple question.

Justin has been ‘in the trenches’ for a while. How come they did not reverse the candidates? Mathias in 22 and Pearman in 25?

A solid answer please!

Although both parties have put up decent enough candidates, I really do wish that the still comparatively young Mr. Dale Butler would run again Warwick. If people of his caliber and generosity do not get involved, there really is not much hope.

Anyone voting in 25 should easily prefer Curtis Dickinson to Justin Mathias. Mathias has time to mature, but there is a vast difference in life and work experience that Dickinson has to draw from. He most certainly can be an asset in the House, potentially even in cabinet. Mathias is already deputy Chair of OBA and can continue to sit in that role.
