Burt even said as much on the radio last year. They went ahead and called an election and gave themselves another 2 years of power instead of doing it in 2022 which would have been the next election – not that far away.
The voter turnout was very low in 2020 and that worked to the PLP’s advantage. They won in 2017 and hadn’t fulfilled ANY of their election pledges that would have boosted Bermuda’s fortunes. Now they are scrambling to get marijuana and casinos done. Oh and now they are taking an OBA initiative (residential certificates). Remember that big old protest that lasted for however long on the House of Assembly grounds? Where are the protesters now? What protest? Can’t see it from my house. Typical head in the sand mentality.
