F.N.M. Convention Day Three – as it happened
If Minnis is unable to lead a unified political party by commanding the respect of the vast majority of its current members and past supporters, there's no way in hell he'll be able to lead our country. Minnis wreaks of corruption and incompetence and is an utter embarrassment for many Bahamians who were for many years die hard supporters and financial backers of the FNM, but have since abandoned the party because of Minnis. If it were not for Minnis, Perry Christie and the PLP would be decimated in the next general election. But sadly, Minnis alone will be singularly responsible for handing the corrupt Christie-led PLP government another five year term. Minnis has from day one of his assuming the leadership of the opposition and the FNM party itself been all about putting himself and his own interests above the interests of the country. His inflated ego and insatiable hunger for power has him totally oblivious to his serious limitations as a politician and leader; he simply cannot understand and fathom that he is so disliked by so many many Bahamians no matter what their party affiliation may have been historically.

Under no circumstances can we let the PLP win. I will vote for anyone or thing before PLP. If the PLP win WE ARE DOOMED!

My tenure as a life-long FNM will come to an end tonight if Minnis emerges as leader of the party. I might as well vote PLP, as that will be the result of the 2017 general election if Minnis is leader.
A sad and bleak future for the Bahamas indeed. Yet it is the sobering reality we will face if the delegates cannot put aside their own self-interests and see what is best for the country and the party as a whole.

Only the delegates (stacked in his favour) want Minnis. Idiots don't realize that his leadership won't guarantee a win at the polls. So many people in the VOTING public are turned off because he's at the helm and lots of FNM's will switch after this.
All I'll say is good luck. He may win the battle but not the war. In my most sarcastic voice, "PLP all the way!"

After being a life-long FNM, the party is now dead to me. I will NEVER vote for Minnis and his corrupt, arrogant, inept platform. I have no idea who will run as an independent in the Killarney district, but I will be voting for them in 2017.
Thank you, delegates -- you and Minnis deserve each other. I hope you all get whatever you sold your souls for. May you all rot in hell for what you have done to our Bahamas and the Bahamian people.May you all live long enough to see the damage you've done!

Hopefully this means they will now work together as a uniformed team. Minnis doesn't need to fear Loretta. Put her in the foreground as she presents well. I think if they set themselves up in a way to be transparent and operate with integrity, they will gain the trust of the people. At the end of the day what is the alternative? We need these people on one accord working to upright this sinking ship of an economy, the albatross of a possible financial devaluation, increase in crime, underperforming educational system. We have to pray that we vote for the best person in our constituency. We must then hold their feet to the fire. We must demand transparency from our leaders. We must picket, strike, sign petitions and lobby to change legislature and recall ineffective politicians. We are knocking Minnis and even Loretta like there is some better alternative. I was never FNM or PLP but for who would probably do as they proclaimed. The PLP have shown they are not interested in the people but only for what they can get for themselves, family and friends. I am tired off being lied to. Blatantly lied to. Well that's my 5 cents.

These female PLP MPs are a joke!!! What happened when Leslie Miller made the comment in regard to physically abusing women in the HOA? They laughed at it and did not stand up for women then. Why the sudden change?

BoopaDoop as a former supporter of the PLP and previous employee of Baha Mar the talks from the PM have become so tiring.
It wearies the physical body in hearing him speak on the mobility of the continued construction of Baha Mar.
It is best for him to be in silence because he is just revealing himself more and causing mistrust of him and the present government.
Since 2012 they have done more hurt than good for this nation....... So sad!!

WTF? My dear Tal -- you are off your meds again. This is about PLP succession and leadership. I checked to make sure that "FNM" or "Ingraham" were not in the article, and they weren't. You have a schizophrenia translator in you head that is like a Rorschach ink blot. Every answer is "Red Shirts" or "Papa". I would suggest that you consummate your love affair with Papa and the Red Shirts to effect a cure.

Archdeacon slams Lightbourn and calls for family planning
Archdeacon Palacious had to have had his tongue in his cheek when he made some of the remarks attributed to him in this article. The Archdeacon knows full well that enforcement of the laws will do little to deal with the problem of too many children being born to a single mother. The problem is not dead beat dads when the children are born out of wedlock. And when they are born in wedlock, all the laws we have on the books will not help get the dead beat dad to pony up money he simply doesn't have because it has gone to the banks to pay the outrageous interest charges on consumer loans or it has gone to the gaming web shops that now appear on every street corner. The Archdeacon, like so many others talking to us from the front of the church, refuses to accept that the real problem is our country having been swamped with illegal immigrants over the past four decades and our government's failure to do anything meaningful about it. The church and our politicians have one thing in common....they both want plenty more people, but for different reasons. So they must inherently have no real problem with the cruelty that attends a single mother having way too many children.

Miller backs resort and tells union to ‘carry their ass’
I think Leslie Miller is a horrible excuse for a human being most of the time, but I actually agree with him on this one!
Unions have become corrupt and greedy and do not do their members any favours with their big mouths, ignorant manners and thuggish tactics. They have no one to blame but themselves. While the union is running to court while running its mouth, perhaps the laid off employees might consider going to court and suing the union for putting them in this mess.
And while we're talking smack about "foreigners" running our country, let's take a good hard look at ourselves. How many jobs do Bahamians provide for Bahamians? Soon there will be no foreign businesses left to blame as we make it increasingly hostile to conduct business in the Bahamas just so we can be big shot entitled Bahamians. Then what will we have? Nothing. Not a damn thing.

I'm not a fan of Potcake, but I think that he has it right this time. The trucks were the last straw. And the funny part was that they weren't road-legal! How smart are you to drive a truck and park it on the carriageway and not have a proper licence, insurance or documentation. Who are these mental midgets?
Agree on news-reporting secretaries. Then again, in this country, it pays not to 'vestigate too deep. You keep ending up at the same place, and it een healthy.

This is almost a similar event that took place some years here in Freeport. I still remember that morning in 2005. A major strike was going on between the hotel owner Mr. Buddermyer and his staff. The cry was he didnt pay national insurance for the workers and some other accusations. I worked that morning, crowd control. The workers block the entrance to both sides of the international Bazaar and the business in the Bazaar complained that their customer couldn't get in the Bazaar. The maids surround several cars that was blocking the way into the Bazaar preventing the wrecker driver from moving them. The Bazaar had nothing to do with the hotel property, but the Chant was still "Buddymyer gat ta go!!" led by the union. They pumped up the people. Well months later hurricane Wilma passed by destroying the hotel. Buddymyer didn't bother to fix it, but left town citing it was to much to fix it. To this day it was never fix, It is still an eye sore now, along with the Towers. The people believed the union was God I guess, but it was a private hotel. We have this attitude that once we in a union we straight, but the union didn't put a dime in the man hotel, or the workers for that matter. When recession came in 2008-2009 many of our residence left here to look for work in other islands... simply because the hotel closed. Another situation years ago was the Container Port, they tried to force the hand of the company top get a union. The fella shut down for several days, soon Perry Christie was here begging for them to reopen, I have mixed emotions when a matter like Sandals occur. Maybe we need to start owing our own things then we will understand what it means to "Run my company".
