		<description><![CDATA[How do you call a vote of no confidence?  Problem is, there is no real opposition party.

Way I see it, carry on down this route and Bermuda is screwed.  Those who voted the PLP back in forgot why they were voted out in the first place.

		<description><![CDATA[Unbelievable!! I’m still trying to figure out what has this government done during their tender. Seems like everything they’ve done has been an increase on the public’s finances. Everything has gone up on us! 
Sugar tax, health insurance increased, now pension increase, food prices increase but not the wages....!! I mean when is this gonna end! Appears to be quite unbalance when everything is increasing besides our wages. We’re still awaiting the Bermuda first campaign promise!! Have you not thought of any ways to generate finances so the country is less dependent on international business?? Wake up people for fs sake!!!]]></description>
