I concur with most of what you said, and would like to add that the FNM allowed Citizen Ingraham to corrupt their ideals of building a meritocracy based on fairness, putting Bahamians first and a society based on open discussion of the issues. The years between '92--97 were their best for the fact they had strong MP's and Cabinet Ministers who held his feet to the fire. I personally witness it all go awry by ‘99 when after he demanded his "own people" be brought in ’97 that his myopic view points, my way or the highway attitude and subservient demeanor to the financial benefactors of him and the party become the only way forward for the FNM. By '99 he had alienated me and many more like me began to follow; it led to crushing defeat in ’02 and so bringing him back in '07 was the biggest mistake they ever made (a short term fix for a long term problem). So now they have no one but him and themselves to blame for nearly 60% of the Bahamian public rejecting them at the polls,
