Agree 100%. The people of Bermuda deserve better. Better than the OBA and better than the PLP. We are tired of the politics in Bermuda. We need a concrete plan to bring Bermuda together and pay our way out of debt. We cannot succeed in this country until we the people of Bermuda are willing to pay off our own debt (and without blaming the other side)!

my family and I, our business, and most people that I know are better off due to a government that listens to its people, provides opportunities – unlike the previous government that only wanted to provide economic stimuli to a certain segment of the population and expats.

OBA forgets that us Bermudians live here – and permanently too

My family and business are by far are better cause we are in an environment that is run by a government that is user friendly, provides opportunities, listens to the people and also assist locals.

Unlike the previous government who ONLY considered certain segment of our community and expats.

And I was a staunch OBA supporter

If you want to play it safe you can always go independent.

The growing independent people consists of all those who for good reason who did not vote in past elections.

What we see and hear today exhibited by both parties is not healthy for a country who is struggling to get out of debt.

“Increased land tax, new and increased sugar tax, a business dividend tax targeted at small and medium Bermudian companies only and the foreign currency purchase tax to name a few.”

Nick, all of that is true, but you could be more specific if you want to be an effective member of the Opposition. How about “a 25% increase in foreign currency purchase tax”, which is the truth. How about “the implementation of income tax for Bermudians, but not ex pats, who work at their own business”, which is true.

The PLP continue to run circles around the OBA when it comes to getting its message out. What kind of message is the OBA trying to get out? I cannot tell and if I cannot tell, what makes you think I will vote OBA?

How so? Is is the higher taxes but less government services? Is it the higher cost of living brought about by the PLP’s decisions? Is it the unreliable hus service or the cut back in trash collection? Is it the declining retail sales? Or is it their lies about being a transparent government whilst fighting against all requests for disclosures on a number of fronts? Is it the education system which still remains a mess?

Seriously what part of BDA life has improved in the last two years for the majority (friends and family hook ups don’t count as progress)? Serious question.

So you have a small business that benefits from having higher taxes, higher healthcare costs, and fewer potential customers.

You are funny – clearly you are worried about him. If I were the PLP I would be worried about him.

You elected JetGate DREB where real tax payer dollars were misspent with GlobalHue. But yeah, keep voting against your self interest because it’s your team.

I think you made the dumb move.

Much better than I would have envisioned under a continuing OBA government.

Thanks Zane. It’s always good to be part of the PLP F&F plan. Unfortunately the rest of us are stuck with highlighter taxes and cost of living

Anther 3 years? Try another 7 years Nick as your OBA has chosen to use JetGate Cannonier as its premier elect! Dumb move and no one to blame but yourselves!

My small business is much better off as I could not get anywhere with the OBA politricks! I am now open and making a very good living thanks to my brothers in the PLP!
