The OBA is like a comedy show that nobody signed up for-they keep losing members and leaders faster than you can say “next!” Honestly, it’s hard to tell if this group even knows whether the lights are on or off. It’s basically a game of musical chairs… on the Titanic.

As usual your green loyalty is blinding you to reality. When the OBA was voted in this island was on life support and fading quickly. They didn’t have the time or luxury to worry about all those ‘social giveaways’ that PLPers love so much. In their too short time they stemmed the hemorrhaging , but not enough , but that wasn’t popular with people looking for handouts and lies. And here we are again on life support with promises that’ll never come to pass.
Ask all the people who have emigrated to that country they were brainwashed into hating all of their lives.

“The policies and management of our country are in a much better position than the OBA would have had us”

Our economy is an economic miracle. Retail price inflation in Bermuda has consistently been lower than that of the U.S., U.K., or Canada for most of the past 5 years.

Our roads have been well maintained for the last 20 years, contrary to what Lt. Col. Burt told us.

We are nearly $4 billion in debt on our current account (ignoring unfunded liabilities), but our Government has been paying into the sinking fund and has a plan to get us out of that debt.

The policies and management of our country are in a much better position than the OBA would have had us, especially the social policies. the OBA had their time in power and did nothing to impact housing or education or anything that would benefit the masses. The PLP are not perfect, no administration is, but they have done a very good job.

The comments about Premier Burt leaving in October 2026 are ridiculous. He has said this over and over. What is wrong with him establishing that he will not run again for Leader in 2026 and thus continue to serve his term until then? PLP Leadership terms are constitutionally for 4 years. He was elected in 2022. There is nothing confusing or sinister about this.

OBA would be better served putting out articles that actually make sense.
