Furthermore, the OBA (a party I didn’t even mention) isn’t even a viable option to vote for so you can take your pathetic act of deflection somewhere else. Where is our 800 MILLION?

The obaUbpers stated a great deal of bs and flooded the party with surrogates. Same plans they used before they use now. Now go rent a consultant to tell you why black voters departed. The surrogate flip tricks don’t work anymore.

I don’t see anyone asking where the still “missing” 800m of TAXPAYERS money went under the PLP.

It is the prerogative of the Premier when he sees fit to call an election. If you want things to be done differently, then you should be demanding constitutional changes to address what you believe, strongly, must change with the times. I agree changes should be made to include a 5 year fixed term and ability to recall members of parliament.

By having fixed term, no government -of-the-day, or party, can take advantage over the opposition. Also, constituents can have the right to recall their member of parliament for non-performance.

Ask DaCost, Cannonier’s business partner at the time of “Jetgate”. I’m sure he can tell you all about where and who got what. Hollis, past OBA chairman, at the time, investigated the $350k. He resigned from the Party because of what he found. Not a very credible outcome for the OBA. The OBA won to correct any alleged corruption, not continue the status quo.

Most countries around the world allow their citizens to vote even if not currently resident. We are in 2020 and every citizen should have the right to vote in their place of birth! Bermudians living overseas should have the right to vote by mail. Period!

“The Premier should have called the election in December and passed one-off legislation to allow mail-in voting to help protect people’s health”

But he did neither. What does that tell you?

If you really want a risk try voting for the JETGATE and asking for the $350K donation that was for the OBA/UBP as a gift from a hotelier………………. but never received so the REPORT STATED!!!

WHO TOOK THE MONEY????? Honesty and credibility all missing from this crew!

Disgusting move by the PLP. So many of the rules this year have been changed out of necessity, so change one more to allow a FAIR election. What an insult to students and those that don’t want to travel to safeguard their health.

The absolute LEAST they can do is have the election in December.

Why would she bring it up when the election was scheduled for over 2 years from now? Your Party knew they were about to call an election during a pandemic and never did they ensure mail in ballots were in place.

Disgusting tactics by the PLP as usual. And of course their supporters deflect blame and responsibility on an Oppositon that has less than half the seats than the Governing Party. Always deflecting and shunning responsibility. Always.

She sits in Parliament week after week and does not say a word about mail in ballots. Now with Parliament closed tell us how that can be done? It can’t and she should know that.

I don’t agree. Voting is all about taking risks so if you want to risk catching Covid and financial ruin go and vote PLP.
