ANDREW ALLEN WRITES
EDITOR, The Tribune. The reasons for the upcoming snap election (the first in Bahamian history) are as clear as daylight. The unprecedented fiscal challenges posed by a year of lost economic activity have the government facing a dilemma long in the making. Any attempt to borrow money (the favoured tactic of this administration), will be […]

Warning To The PLP From A Commentator: Don’t Complain Fight Back
I note Brave’s ( the Leader of The Opposition Philip Davis) comments on the negative social media campaign. This campaign is being directed by that notorious billionaire of Lyford Cay on behalf of the FNM using intermediaries located in the US. Similar tactics were deployed in the 2017 campaign. What I suggest is the party […]
HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED WITH PAKIESHA
There is now a public you say and I say about whether Pakiesha Parker Edgecombe MP for West Grand Bahama and Bimini was trying to join the PLP while seeking to get renominated by the FNM for the seat. In a statement on 16 February 2021, she issued a denial saying that it was a […]
PAKIESHA PARKER EDGECOMBE: EXAMPLE OF WHAT NOT TO DO
It was a textbook example of what not to do. Do not start a squabble with a constituent. Just leave certain things alone, especially when you know you are vulnerable.
