THE BARBARIANS AT THE GATE
The FNM is rejoicing. They think they have won some big victory. When you look at the number of seats yes they have. They have forced out the former Prime Minister. But what struck us as the new Prime Minister Hubert Minnis set about house agenda, arriving at the new office and being introduced to […]
THE FNM IS A DISGRACE
New Prime Minister Hubert Minnis with Ivan Johnson of The Punch. That should tell you the whole story. Democracy is a hell of a thing. We think it is Winston Churchill who was credited with saying that it is not the best system in the world but it is the best that we have. No […]
A PERSONAL STATEMENT BY FRED MITCHELL

For the first time in our history, a sitting […]
The Fix Is In
What was that the FNM liked to say about family, friends and lovers? Candia Dames is the cousin of Shanendon Cartwright new MP for St Barnabas, and the sister of new MP for Mt. Moriah Marvin Dames. So any surprise that the Nassau Guardian supports the FNM come hell or high water.
Christie To Resign
It has been 4 days since the general election. Perry Christie has not spoken to the country since his defeat was confirmed on 12th May. He lost to Reece Chipman of the FNM by 4 votes. The next steps are that the National General Council of the PLP is expected to convene on Monday 15 […]
