*why did the people in the party flush it down the toilet and create another.*

What other way is there to overcome racist labels in local politics ?

According to the OBA the UBP was a racist party thus the very reason the OBA tries to distance the party from it altogether. If the UBP was as you say and things were going so good, why did the people in the party flush it down the toilet and create another.

Here we go again , the usual completely unsubstantial claim of 40 years of discrimination blah , blah. Just because you all keep saying it doesn’t prove it.
What I saw was growth in YOUR segment that was unparalleled in previous time. Businesses opening , home purchase , children going overseas for further education in large numbers , leisure travel all over the world and the list goes on.
If it was so racist and discriminatory how were all these things possible ?
Keep perpetuating your myths and division , it’s all you have to keep the PLP in because sure as hell they don’t have anything else except the 2 Bermuda’s joke.

This has nothing to do with the OBA, or if you must the UBP before them. For the record, I am a member of no political party.

The point is, you’re eyes may be wide open but you’re seeing nothing. The simple fact is, that the math told us what was going to happen. It’s that simple.

20 years of inaction, incompetence, corruption and failure.

According to the Bermuda electorate, better the financial failure of the PLP than the systemic societal failure of the UBP.

Interesting how you left out Burchall and co.

The co stands for Brian Duperreault. The same developer involved in Morgans Point never built hotel. That you idiots in the obaUBP…. YOUR party signed the tax payers up on a $185 million guarantee.

40 years of racial discrimination as UBP. 1 day to change the name to oba because black voters left you past. 4 years in power as obaUBP. Now 6 seats and your own supporters left you. That is your status quo!

“The Minister explained, “After adjusting for inflation, the GDP in constant prices for the second quarter decreased by 15.7 per cent to $1,368.0 million. The decline in growth was influenced primarily by double-digit declines in final consumption and gross capital formation due to restricted economic activity caused by mitigation efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19.”

That would require the Minister to understand what that “explanation” means. Were there any follow up questions>

The economy was f*cakes before COVID. All the pandemic did was speed up the inevitable. The simple mathematics have been discussed as infinitum for years by Burchall and co.

20 years of failure and decline. The PLP status quo.
