DNA repeat call for debate

This is a red herring. The DNA is calling for a debate between the leaders not by constituency. The constitutional, legal and practical separation of powers in the US makes it necessary for the Executive branch of governement to outline their prospective plans which is often different from the Legislative branch. In fact its very typical to have a different party leading the executive branch from the party leading the legislative branch. Our system is quite different, therefore, these calls for a debate between the leaders, in my view, are more political than substantive. I believe in democracy, I believe in the collective wisdom of the Bahamian people and I believe that those of you who choose to denigrate the Bahamian electorate by calling them "tribal" refuses to accept the fact that ultimately history will show that those tribal voters have repeatedly choosen the appropriate political party for the times in each election since independence. Without choosing sides, I am faithful that they will again choose the appropriate party for the current times during this election.
