I just wish people knew what financial heartache that is barreling down on us by next years Govt budget. Forget about Burt’s handling of the virus. That won’t make a difference when we are all TAXED to death next year to make up for the shortfalls of this year. The PLP will come up with ideas that will be much too little and much too late.

Sadly, it will only be about race.

I’ll stand right by your side as we lower the OBA into the grave because I’m tired of what we have now. Unfortunately for you, your team will actually have to step up its game instead of relying on the race card and a “sustained program of disinformation and criticism”.

Disinformation: false information which is intended to mislead, especially propaganda issued by a government organization to a rival power or the media.

You were lied to and you’re happy about it.

Craig as leader of the OBA may as well dig up the UBP grave and climb in with them. I feel if Dunk wants to stay in politics, he should sit back and groom the generation coming in. Voters are tired of these same old faces. I think with the arrival of the FDM on the playing field, the OBA will take a slaughtering this election. Unfortunate because I don’t like only having 2 options.

I am tired of folks confusing a good orator with someone who is a leader. I dont get confused with an accent and ability to speak with conviction. I see and hear otherwise. There’s alot of confident, hot air that comes out of Premier Burt’s mouth. He does not have the experience or depth to get us out of this mess. Idgaf how many private schools or boarding schools that he attended. We praise the PLP for their handling of COVID…. but the blueprint was already established throughout the WHO…so I ask the question… how do you give an A+ if the blueprint was already in place…. he can not get us out of this mess and that’s the plain facts.

I will not be voting for the PLP even tho they will still win the election.

I can not support the PLP through another election. I simply can’t.

The OBA and the FDM will use what gains they gain in 2020 to consolidate their base in time for the next general election. Still, I’ve ordered my popcorn and soda…. carrot sticks and dip (thinking about the sugar tax). The 2020 General Election promises to be very interesting- akin to a game of survivor.
