So is John Swan the Party Leader for the Independents, who are allegedly not a Party?
I see Sir John as a mentor. A well seasoned politician willing to encourage younger blood to get involved.
Good for him.
When PLP candidates are announced, the Leader is usually there.
When OBA/UBP candidates have traditionally been announced, it’s been by their leader, although this year they haven’t had rollouts.
So, for Sir John to be there, and answering questions, it definitely looks like he is more of a leader than a mentor. He should have taken a backseat and let Cire have his day.
The UBP was dissolved in 2011. Please try to learn something about Bermuda and its history.
And if there was a successor party to the UBP it would be the UBPLP, with 2 former UBP leaders as sitting MPs right now.
As a white voter which you clearly are keep on playing dumb everyone knows it the same party. Stuck on stupid is why the the obaUBP keep on losing.
You mean the history of how the UBP used black members to attract other blacks to the party? After the skeletons came out of the many closets they had to dissolved the party and change the name!
Gonna be sad for your party when they take the PLP’s votes lmfaoooooooo
Never heard of him. Accomplishments? Why do we perpetuate the lie that before 1965 there were all independents when the voting record indicates that 99 % of the time the white MCPs voted together and the few blacks voted together….but they were independent. Get elected today as an independent you get no budgetary consideration. No money no work in your area. Front page speeches maybe but still no problems solved. Hope new candidates know where parliament is and they should be asked if they have ever attended? The answers will shock you.
The last independent MP I can recall being elected (as opposed to an MP crossing the floor) was Stuart Hayward, and he only lasted one term.
A published record of current MPs attendance in the HOA
A record of how often some of them have actually had something to say how would be interesting as well.
My guess is that most are there to raise their hands when told to. Nothing more.
