Under Farmer Brown’s leadership ( who once said time to sow new seedlings of prosperity), Bermuda racked-up $1.4 billion in debt, OBA $1 billion.

Now the PLP back in power with, yet another qualified audit under their belt, we’ll wait and see the results for 2018/2019. Based on current economic indicators, most likely, the debt will increase.

Personal, I don’t think either party really cares about Bermuda’s debt, just as long as they can get back into power and milk the proverbial cash cow!

And why are you fantasizing about two hairy men in a bed?

Yeah, you’re not a partisan hack. Of course you aren’t…

Like I said before, the trend line of seat loss has been consistent, except for the blip in 1985.

Yes indeed.
The message to the world is: bermudians are Homophobic, racist and xenophobic!
Bermudas culture is one of greed.
LOL@bermudians

in other words, the people of bermuda are bigots, and want to remain that way. The people of bermuda do not want any foreign money on the island. Foreigners are ‘dirty’ and steel jobs. Bermudians are self sufficient and have plenty of money to buy big TVs and cars.

some Bermudians do not understand basic economics.
some bermudians are racist, homophobic and xenophobic.

bermudians don’t realize that the internet is worldwide, and their secrets are not secret

They remain with their singular mission that has nothing to do with preserving or encouraging existing or new marriages.

My records show a downhill trend loss of seats for the UBP from 1972 to 1998.The only exception is the 1985 snap-election when the UBP won 31 seats, PLP 7 and NLP 2.In my opinion, this result was only because of internal leadership differences in the PLP camp which resulted in 2 key members being expelled.

The UBP’s 5 seat pick-up from 1983 election was short-lived.1989 results, UBP 23, PLP 15, NLP 1 and IND 1, and then it was downhill again until 1998.

The only remaining political life the UBP old guard has is its participation and support for the UBP/OBA.

For the record, I’m not a political party supporter. I believe party politics is doing more harm than good for our island home.

Toodle-loo

If values were so important–how about all the kids born out of wedlock, why aren’t the church’s screaming at the top of their lungs about this–and where is the Beloved Preserve Marriagge–why not encourage people to first get married, that will at leat get them one step closer to being able to preserve it!!!!

This action does not represent Bermuda’s culture.

Lets stop the bigotry in Bemruda–on all fronts–not just the one that supports the narrative of some.

Equality for all Bernudians!

The concept of “majority rule” without limits is a recipe for tyranny and terror of a minority. Imagine how black people in America would fare if your concept of “majority rule” was embraced. Imagine how the indigenous people of Australia or New Zealand or Canada would fare if your concept of “majority rule” were embraced.

Sometimes the majority must stand up for the minority if we are to have “human” rights. Or are you suggesting that gay people are not human?

Actually the 1980s election which left the PLP with only 7 seats was the worst election defeat in the history of local party politics. Know your history.

Can you cite one area of improvement beore your so called ‘landslide electoral victory?’

GDP is contracting again, employment income is down, business confidence is rock bottom, 6 consecutive months of declining retails ales, teachers are striking, buses don’t work, trash pick-up cut down to one day a week, a return of qualified audits on the consolidated fund, real estate market worse than flat, no balanced budget as promised this year (meaning more debt) etc.

Tell me again why you are so overjoyed at the PLP’s majority? Rhetorical question as anyone with a brain knows the real reason why you guys remain overjoyed despite all the aforementioned negative indicators.

THAT was the worst defeat .

IF THE OBA HAD THE TENNIS BALLS TO PAST THE LAW WHEN THEY HAD THE MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE WE WOULDN’T BE AT THIS POINT TODAY. LET’S BE HONEST FOR ONCE EITHER WAY THE OBA WILL NOT WIN THE NEXT ELECTION AND THAT’S A FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Bermuda politics, we appear to ignore issues of Diversity and Inclusion and simply proceed until arrested or only halt when we are ruled by the Court.

Thank goodness our Constitution continues to serve us well as it helps manage the personal desires of our politicians who appear more motivated to stay in power and serve themselves rather than to take the high road and serve others in Bermuda.

Power to all our people and our Constitution!

As I have said many times before, change the word “gay” or “homosexual” for the word “black” and and change the words “same-sex marriage” for inter-racial marriage”. Now go back and read what government has to say and tell me what you think.

An example would be ‘[Inter-racial] marriage was initially legalised following a Court decision in May 2017. Then in JMune 2018 the PLP Government sought to abolish [inter-racial] marriage by introducing the Domestic Partnership Act, making inter-racial relationships less than marriage. The Court then ruled in favour of equality of [inter-racial] relationships in June 2018, less than 1 week after the Government had sought to abolish them. That decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal and the Government now wishes to apply to the Privy Council for a judgment outlawing [inter-racial] relationships in Bermuda.’

Need I say more?
