Updating: Burt & Roban Win PLP Election
[Updating] The Progressive Labour Party [PLP] held their leadership election tonight [Oct 20], with David Burt and Walter Roban both winning their elections, so Premier Burt and Deputy Premier Roban will continue in their positions. Premier Burt had been challenged by Curtis Dickinson, while Renee Ming had stood for election as Deputy Leader. We will continue to update as able.

Very unlikely Curtis will win, but at least he has given Bermuda the clearest warning from someone in the PLP that Bermuda’s financial position is at a breaking point. It takes a man of principle, especially a PLP MP, to say what he has said, knowing his political future is pretty much finished.
Mr Dickinson stated on the YouTube video that 5 years ago we came in under a OBA government that only benefited a few. Those he fail to learn from the OBA failure at Morgan’s Point………. ( smile). Well he’s not joining you jokers but he will be Premier next election. Get ready to lose again 30-6 OBA.
Curtis will win the next election when he crushes the obaUBP since Burt is not running again.
Why won’t Burt run in the next election? He says will will step down in 2026, that’s after the next election.
As to 30-6 and the OBA, why would the OBA want to win and try and sort out the PLP’s mess again, which is way worse than in 2012. 2020 was an election where the PLP won with around 33% of the voting population, or 25% of he total population. Not a landslide in voting terms. Last night showed the split within the PLP. Not surprising considering their disastrous performance since 1998. 2017 merely increased the debt levels, decreased retail sales, GDP and encouraged the population decline which ironically the PLP are trying to fix with getting expats here to buy houses for the tax revenue, not create jobs for Bermudians.
Get over it, CD isn’t going to start another party or join forces with UBPoba. The man will be the next leader and their is nothing you or red team can do about it accept complain about him next. He already said the UBPoba was a failure.
Burt should be forced to stay put and fix this steaming pot of chit he has created.
Mr. Dickinson, you do NOT want to inherit this colossal dumpster fire.
A sad for Bermuda. Thank you Mr. Dickinson. You have the support and admiration of the country, with the exception of a few delegates.
As expected those on the friends and family plan with their noses in the trough while the country circles the drain. Vote in their self interest. We”re in serious trouble with these continuing in charge.
so sorry for my bermuda another bterm of double talk and complete arrogance
F====ck!!! The worse possible outcome. What a sad day for this country. Well… Time to pack my bags and start another life somewhere else in the world. Had enough of this place called Bermuda
Cornell youbtrinket lovers, your day will come .. if Burt can deceive all of bermuda youbdont stand a chance, but keep accepting trinkets over country.
Worst premier ever, probably
Bermuda is in a state of destruction, know what the common denominator here is.. yup egomeir burt
When is chartered flight to England or Bahamas leaving n airfare.
Opportunity lost.
Room full of stupid people!!!!!!!!
Sigh…….
What a mess, and what s terrible decision.
Such an arrogant man. Election please.
Unsurprising, but regretful.
There was, briefly, a hope for things to change, and we desperately need change.
The only place it can come from at the moment is from within the PLP and, sadly, not unlike the OBA, they are unwilling to change.
The UBP changed into OBA circus who even their own supporters laugh at.
Racist
“The UBP changed into OBA circus who even their own supporters laugh at.”
Keep up the big lie. Never give up on the big lie.
Bring in the clowns and so the circus s^%t show carried on
Party first, country second. Always the case with these nitwits.
Couldn’t run a piss up in a brewery. 69 bus runs cancelled Thursday, immigration a shambles, no Gencom deal, public spaces a mess, declining tax base, $4bn of debt……..no ideas, no clue, no vision.
Idiots. Utter utter idiots.
A sad day for Bermuda. It is what the delegates want not what Bermuda wants or needs. Obviously the delegates have their heads in the sand.
We are screwed!!!!
