MP Scott Pearman On Cabinet Resignations

August 8, 2024 | 10 Comments

“Premier Burt is clearly reeling after multiple high-profile Cabinet resignations,” Shadow Minister for Legal Affairs Scott Pearman said, adding that “the Premier’s selection of Health Minister Kim Wilson to bear the additional role of Attorney-General speaks volumes about his own position.”

Mr Pearman said, “Premier Burt is clearly reeling after multiple high-profile Cabinet resignations. And this week’s departure by two Cabinet Ministers follows in the wake of announcements by the Public Works Minister and Deputy Premier that they too are quitting politics. Departures from the Burt Administration are mounting.

“The Premier’s selection of Health Minister Kim Wilson to bear the additional role of Attorney-General speaks volumes about his own position. His decision reveals his limited options. It also reveals the extent of his faith in his backbench.

“Premier Burt admits his decision adds to Minister Wilson’s “already considerable workload as the Minister of Health”. Given his stated concerns, why not place the important Health portfolio in the hands of another MP?

“They say a week is a long time in politics,” he added. “The week is not yet over.”

“We must all hope, for Bermuda’s sake, that Minister Wilson will successfully manage these two substantial portfolios. It can be done – but it will not be easily done.”

  1. Well says:

    Zane (COVID party boy) will throw his hat in the ring to be PLP leader at the next unless there is someone he can comfortably hide behind.

    PLP is in disarray.

  2. Oh really says:

    She has 99% chances of doing both good when you compare the 3% chance the obaersubpeee have getting voted in again

    • puzzled says:

      And your point is what

    • iyiyi says:

      Your mindset is the main reason why this country is in the state that we are in and sadly i don’t think there is any way past that anytime in the near future .
      Just means more exodus and harder times to come ….that’s it .

    • TRUTH says:

      Actually if the white oba party continues to bring in more black surrogates as front men/women that can relate to the black voters, they increase their chances by 35%. They also know this which is why the oba will be rolling out more black surrogates soon.

      • Joe Bloggs says:

        On your theory, every black person who joins the OBA is a surrogate for the white community.

        Is the any scenario where you will accept that black people and white people can work together as equals?

The Flock will vote green because they have been convinced the other option will take them back to the 1900′s . The problem is the economy is already back there
    15%-20% of Bermudians have already left ….many more will follow ..

  5. Ringmaster says:

    Just shows that Bermuda does not need 36 MPs. 9 Parishes so 18 MPS is more than sufficient, especially now that the PLP have shown twice that 1 MP can do the job of 2, as opposed to the civil service where it takes multiples to do the job of 1. Why pay for 20 PLP MPs to sit on the backbench doing what?

  6. Eyes wide open says:

    MP Scott Pearman said Premier Burt is clearly reeling. Well the majority of voters clearly believe Scott is a racist which will cause the OBA to lose the next election. So lets agree to disagree!
