Is Patrice Minors in #10 or #12?
It doesn’t matter where she is. Bean is the only one that has a chance to win and even that is slim.
The rest of the FDM are sacrificial lambs. The voters are either OBA or PLP.
As name would indicate FDM is a movement and so does momentum begin toward a raising of the standard beyond that with which we’ve been burdened
I know a few of those people and this looks like a truly progressive movement. As with any political party, there are some there I do not trust but there are others I know to be progressive and moderate. This may be a new beginning.
Constituency 33 could be interesting if Ms. Storie can capture the imagination of voters and communicate effectively that she is not an opportunist career politician like her opponent.
Assume she takes nearly all votes which would have gone OBA, throw in X number of folks who would never vote OBA but don’t like Jamal, and you would almost think that the lady cut a deal with Craig Cannonier – except that she hasn’t, she genuinely is a truly free spirit.
Wish I was home to vote for Kae Tjomas Palacio. A strong woman who will be a terrific advocate for her constituents.
I believe she will do well; she appears sincere ( honest person) nothing beats that Best of luck to her, I would sure vote for her
Cheryl Packwood is the best candidate to run in Hamilton South #7
She has a wonderful record representing Bermuda in the business world.
I hope folks in Hamilton South will support this smart brilliant lady – Bermuda needs a person like Cheryl Packwood.
