And yet you still vote for them.

One thing about Michael, it’s all about Michael, always has been, always will be. This is a guy who has taken political parties to annihilation twice, lost general elections big time for both as leader, is at a point now where his own colleagues want rid of him so they can move on, and he still refuses to go away. One might point out too that both in and out of Government, he has been devoid of dynamic, original, thoughtful ideas.

She’s been asked over and over but refuses to reply . Same on the ‘smashing people up’ remark.
But for some reason her repeated lies make it through all the time.
She’s obviously of the mind that if she keeps repeating them they’ll become fact.

The economy continued to shrink for the first couple of years after the PLP disaster years. It took some time to correct it. Eventually the OBA turned it around and the economy started to grow. The recession ended.
Now, after the PLP being back in power for a year, the economy is shrinking again.
You notice the pattern?

Mr. Michael Dunkley you need to stop this talk and retire. All your doing is causing a bigger rift between whites and blacks. That is the only reason why the Oba failed last election. Black Bermudians that once voted UBP and Oba have flipflopped over to PLP.

The OBA is majority white and the PLP is majority black because of people like you. If you fail to see this, lets just say the Oba will never win. Your not the man in charge anymore and will never be again. TRUST ME.

Allow the Opposition Leader Craig Cannonier to speak for the party, you sound bitter and you want Mr. Cannonier to failed as bad as you did.

It is interesting that the definition of SUFFRAGE is: The right of voting in a political election. I stress the word right.

The comment from STRAIGHTFORWARD says” Dunkley was a great part of the suffrage of/towards born Bermudians.” By this statement he is saying that Mr. Dunkley was greatly involved in born Bermudians right of voting.

Conversely today, through the up coming court case our present government seeks to take away a right. One which has been twice ruled a human right.

What does that say about the present politicians in the HOA?

PLP and their surrogates are being VERY DEFENSIVE! Tells me they realise that there’s LESS jobs for Bermudians, economy is shrinking, IB is pissed-off, Debt is going up again, they’re overspending, gaming is going nowhere, NO NEW construction projects, Health Insurance going UP, Dr. Brown being paid 1.2 MILLION and they DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT ANYTHING – other than blame OBA…

I seriously feel sorry for you. That narrow mindset is what will be the down fall of our precious island. The saddest part of all is that people at the lower end of the economic scale are the ones that will suffer the most from the PLP’s lack of economic plans. It happened the last time and will only be worse this time. Doesn’t matter if you’re a born Bermudian of not.

That same 100m spent by the OBA would have be 500m if spent by the PLP. Suck on that!!

By: inna

inna — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 19:19:30 +0000

So rhonde, the tune has changed now… what key are we in again? F flat??

First it was 100m of wasted money.

Now because that money was spent, its no wonder everything was up (im guessing you mean retail sales etc).

Third we now have to pay that 100m back? To Who?

Fourth, i do not see any rebuilding of public services going on, do you? Before i clicked on this story i was just reading how there are 86 bus runs canceled today.

Welcome to PLP round 2! I hope you have some money saved up!

Dunkley was a great part of the suffrage of/towards born Bermudians. Now, he stoically stands attempting to blow his own trumpet. Has he forgotten his atrocious reign of terror, simply saying that his hands were tied??
Who is he kidding?
Notably, himself ONLY!!
End your disastrous antics.
You were never cut out to be a politician, only to destroy BORN BERMUDIANS!!
Disaster!!
PERIOD!!

The PLP has increased taxes on poor people and healthcare costs continue to go up. Money for travel and to give to Ewart. How much, only $1.2 million. No money to help seniors, just money for aceboys. We Bermudians must be some kind of dumb!

PLP… . Stay focus on achieving your goals for the people.

DO not get side focus on DUNKLEY OBAubp gang who did nothing for the people

AC did nothing much, if it did where are all the 2000 jobs promised by them…

PLP Continue to remain focus and push on to achieve for the PEOPLE OF BERMUDA

THE OBAUBP ARE LOOKING TO BECOME RELEVANT….. THIS COMMENT INDICATES JUST THAT…. WEAK OBAUBP OLD BOYS ….
