May I ask, what are the educational qualifications required of candidates running for election to serve the Bermuda Government?
Are we the people again just casting our trusted votes based on promises for a change for a new Bermuda. kind of “old rope” don’t you think !
We have heard the word change being used many time in the past and look where that has landed us, hardship disappointment and failure.
The British Government thinks there is no benefit in amending our voting system are they still living in the dark ages of pomp and circumstance?
Ok ! for them, they were not born,or live ,and to die here .
It looks like we the people can only expect more of the same for virtually every thing.
We have been getting a 3 , we want an 8 and more simple we can no longer survive on , you all know the rest .
“May I ask, what are the educational qualifications required of candidates running for election to serve the Bermuda Government?”
There are no educational qualifications. There is not even a requirement that one be literate.
Surrogates just need to be black and the OBA places you as a candidate. After they use you and you fail they wash + repeat by looking for more surrogates.
