We want your views on the government's first 12 months
It seems as though Mr. Christie and his party came to office with a chip on their shoulders and no plan as to how to run this country. They have borrowed an exuberant amount of money and are still blaming Mr. Ingraham. Their mortgage relief venture was a total bust and well, I won't even go there with the so called opinion poll. They remain clueless on how to deal with the crime problem in this country and Urban Renewal seems just a waste of human resources for the Royal Bahamas Police Force. In short, this first year of governance for the PLP government has been a total failure. The Bahamian people have seemed to have lost faith in this government. Maybe it's time for a change.

If something drastic does not happen in the next year or so, either a great rebound in the economy or unless the Bahamian people lower their expectations and grow into these hard times, those elected PLP politicians will be more anxious than anyone else for 5 years to come so they can run out of parliment and out of public office. Rather than acknowledging that these are tough economic times, the PLP sold the Bahamian public pipe dreams and seems to have no means or intentions of fulfilling. In fact for the past year the PLP government seems unable to deliver on the most basic demands and requests of its own supporters. Crime, for example is in the clouds, and someone needs to put a bill board with a on it to keep track of murders. As some 4,000 graduates are set to be dumped out of the classrooms in a matter of days, employment opportunities seem non-existant and these young people seems set to face days and months, even years of doom and gloom. We know that when they become discouraged they will turn to crime and anti-social behaviour. Rather than waiting for tourist and financial markets to rebound and create employment and new wealth, government must look at other sustainable industries. A substantial investment to revive the farming industry with employment of the latest thecnologies, will not only create employment, but will also reduce the country's huge food bill. Fishing stocks are virtually being depleted and efforts must be set in place now to sure up and preserve these stocks. The price of fish is already beyond the reach of more than halfd the bahamian population, and any crises in the volatile world markets could send food price beyond the clouds. Government must stop giving away our human and other natural resources, land included and move to ensure that more of the foreign invested dollar stays in this country and in the hands of Bahamians. The much critizized road works and renewal project should be extended to to complete the renewal of all remaining roadways and water mains in New Providence as a means of creating employment for blue collar workrs. Other things that can be looked at are infrastructure in other major islands and a summer repair and development for all the schools in the Bahamas.

I have never seen a party loosing so much support in such a short period of time. Perry Christie never had any kind of plan for our country. His only plan was to become P.M again,so he can satisfy his ego. In the meantime things are falling apart,cabinet members contradict one another,our country's situation is getting worse every day,and Perry Christie acts as he is some kind of movie star.

Solid "F". We should have let HAI finish what he started. The country would be so much better off right now.
Ah well. PGC will go down as complete and utter failure and HAI will go down as a genuine Bahamian hero!

Those who voted A-C have to be very delusional or living in a fairy tale. We can all see whats going on around us.

I'm thinking that whoever has voted A-E must be some of the PLP MP's and Senators and others affiliated directly with the party...So sad that people are so blinded by 100% following and belief in their political party...on BOTH sides that they think that party is doing a fabulous job. If only those people followed their so called faith and devotion to religion and its teachings, we wouldn't be having murders and sweeties and fatherless children running rampant...B.I.D....

The results shouldn't surprise anyone. When Darold Miller had his report card show these were the same results.

I guess there is no point giving them visas while doctors on strike and they can't have babies. That's all they come here for - to steal our country using the "majority rule" rule.

Doc always has money for what he wants to have money for. He spends the Tax payers money for what he feels will make him look good. and others must suffer
Doc and Turnquest do not show that they should meet their obligations first.

I am pretty sure Haiti has not donated one gallon of water or a can of sardines towards easing the burden of its own citizens in this recovery phase but he wants the government of the Bahamas to do what? No country has been more accommodating of Haiti's violations of our laws and sovereignty than the Bahamas, including the recent debacle of the Haitian embassy!
He should be seeking to repatriate some of his citizens in this time of crisis. Its what all civilized nations do!

If he is so worried, he should send a few flights and boats to take them back to Haiti. So many of them were here illegally and he knows it. We have enough to handle with our own people.

Laughable! They believe the Bahamian people are stupid, & why didn't he ask these same illegal sloop people to stop coming to the Bahamas illegally, because it is a burden on the Bahamian tax payers to send them back to Haiti?

HAITIAN Chargé d’Affaires Dorval Darlier sure has plenty of suggestions for the Bahamas government to utilize Bahamian taxpayers dollars to benefit illegal Haitians. However, he has absolutely not one suggestion about how the Haitian government plans help their own people!
This is a-typical of Haitians across the board. They are always looking for handouts and freebies but NEVER contribute anything to the development of any country.
U.S. President Donald Trump claimed the U.S. has to be careful who it allows in as The Bahamas has some “very bad gang members”.
Because of the Haitian Zoepound gang and Haitian drug dealing activities, Bahamians have lost some of the freedom of travel to the United States! We can thank the PLP and FNM for decades of total asinine jackassery dealing with undocumented illegal Haitians allowing them to gain strong footholds in shantytowns.
PM Minnis needs to be a "leader" just this once and demand these illegals that we do not have jobs for and cannot afford to support that are also damaging to the image of the Bahamas and Bahamians be pursued, apprehended and repatriated regardless of gender!
President Donald Trump is 100% right. America is for AMERICANS FIRST. Likewise, Minnis needs to STAND UP and act responsibly in the best interest of Bahamians.
Pindling, Ingraham, and Christie couldn't do it.....Minnis has NO CHOICE but to do it if he expects his political career to survive!

The only thing I can say this government has done was the re-launching of Urban Renewal 2.0 which is working in some instances in my opinion. The mortgage relief plan was bogus from the start, crime is increasing by the minute and many people are still unemployed. But this is nothing new, the PLP is and has always been a failure...you're welcome!
