Column: Bell On PLP’s 2025 Platform & More

[Opinion column written by PLP Candidate Lauren Bell]

Bermudians are no strangers to hard work, perseverance, and resilience. We know what it means to weather storms, adjust to challenges, and come out stronger on the other side.

The Progressive Labour Party’s 2025 Platform is about steady leadership in an ever-changing world. It is about making sure every Bermudian can thrive—not just today, but for generations to come.

This platform is not just a government plan—it is a collective vision shaped by the voices of Bermudians. With input from thousands of people, this document reflects the issues that matter most: affordability, opportunity, and stability.

The Progress We Have Made

We are proud of what has been accomplished:

• More affordable housing options, with more on the way.
• A stronger social safety net, including increased pensions.
• Lower taxes for most workers, putting more money in people’s pockets.
• Investments in education and job training, preparing Bermudians for the future.

A Plan That Focuses on You

This platform continues that progress by:

• Making Life More Affordable – Expanding access to affordable housing, keeping energy costs down, and strengthening consumer protections.
• Healthcare That Puts People First – Expanding access, prioritizing mental health, and working toward universal coverage.
• Growing the Economy for Everyone – Supporting local businesses, creating jobs, and ensuring fair wages.
• Investing in Our People – Strengthening public education, expanding scholarships, and preparing young Bermudians for the workforce.
• A Government That Works Better for You – Making services more efficient, improving infrastructure, and ensuring accountability.

Join the Conversation

We believe that the best solutions come from working together. The PLP 2025 Platform is an open invitation to all Bermudians—to read it, engage with it, and share ideas.

Together, we will continue to build a Bermuda that is fairer, stronger, and full of opportunity for all.
