I don't get the political immaturity of the members on this site. Especially from the FNM supporters. Why is there all of this jeering and back and forth with petty jibes? And, to the PLP supporters, why is it that you would have anything to respond to- especially with nothing more than PLP all the way?

The issue should be, since this Woodside gentleman won by 49 votes, after 110 votes had to be thrown out, narrowing his victory down from 60+ to now 49, is the fact that the electoral process is way beyond broken and that is not funny at all.

I don't think people realize how serious this is and, how much work needs to be done to make sure that 60+ illegal votes, do not even have the appearance of swinging an election.

Now, congrats to Mr. Woodside and the FNM supporters, for actually winning the constituency. Congrats to Ms. Maynard Gibson, for actually having the gutsto come forward, challenge the process, in the courts, a court she had every right to be skeptical of, to actually want to prove that the winner, was in fact the winner in Pinewood- fair and square.

However, this is no victory- moral or real- if this is the type of politics and skullduggery, we have to sink to in order to win.

Something is still terribly wrong with the process and our officials and, this needs to be addressed with the next court case looming.

For all intents and purposes, from what I have read up on Ms. Maynard Gibson, her chances of winning this case was good, but not great from the outset. So, all of you hacks, can it and come together!

But looking at how it all turned out, Mrs, Alli took herself to court, because the majority of the votes that were tossed out voted for her, like about 82 of 110.
And to think that it was her party that cut up the boundaries extremely late, closed the old registration late, and to now come and talk about errors, Please......If the PLP had followed the constitution and let the boundaries commission meet 5 years after the 2002 general election, closed the old registrar on time the Parliamentary Commission would have had sufficient time to do their work properly. Because time does not wait on no man, the Parliamentary commission had to work with the time frame the PLP gave them after they cut up the boundaries late.

Last night when the results came it was some PLP's that were still crying the FNM cheated.

In any event wasn't the PLP responsible for the voter registration process as well as the boundaries commission coming late.

I am just gonna observe on the Pinewood threads b/c some of these ppl around here to thin skinned and have their drawers all in a knot over foolishness. They have to remember that the politicians could care less about their well being after they receive their votes.

The boundary commission and the PLP was late calling the election, was due probably to exactly this sort of thing.

The PLP was lazy. But, in this case, with them even challenging the outcome of an election they had the front seat on, shows that there is more to it than just Christie's laziness. The system is in need of a vast overhaul.

Also, the reports I have seen on this site, only show that Mr. Woodside won by 49 votes. Not that the votes thrown out, were PLP votes, BDM votes, Independents or simply just spoiled.

Now, correct me on that information and, send the news report on exactly what the % of the ballots thrown out were and then, you would have clear validation for your claim.

But, even before we talk about that, it is obvious that they both got illegal votes. And, 110, is not a conclusive enough number, to say that skullduggery was done by either one of them.
:)

The majority of those votes were not illegal. The majority of those votes were Bahamians voting in the wrong constituency who did not have a right to vote their. Out of those 110 votes that were thrown out, I only heard testimonies of 2 illegals, I could stand to be corrected, but I only heard of the Jamaician that was deported and the Bahamian born to Haitain parentage.

The fact of the matter is, the PLP did not give the Parliamentary sufficient time to work with because they did everything late. Cut up the boundaries late, closed the old registrar late, these two items are vital to the voting process. The boundaries Commission outlines where person willl vote and if the Parliamentary Commission gets it late, how are they to do their job in knowing where to place people to vote?

The Bahamian people solved one problem for now, the PLP will not oversee the next election. Thank God.

The issue is not exclusive to the PLP or the FNM. RR, you start this thread as though you are scolding children when you are making it into a party issue as well, saying that the supporters of one particular party are being more immature than the other when that is simply not the case. The parties that these people support have little to do with their personalities. Any time that there is any competition, there will be people who react in a more "over-the-top" manner. You can see this by observing high school sports, the NBA games, elections, lawsuits, etc.

You may not see this as a victory, but a loss, and that is fine with me. It is a loss of time and energy that would have been better spent on other issues. It is not a victory in the sense that Woodside won from May 2, 2007, but if people choose to celebrate, who are you to tell them not to? Most of what I have seen has been all in good fun and jesting. We all laugh, joke, and poke fun at each other and each other's beliefs, situations, etc. in other threads, so why is it suddenly a problem? Some people seem to have taken some things to heart and have reacted poorly, but they are the minority. Unfortunately, such people tend to speak the loudest, and get all of the attention - negative and/or positive.

As for those who resort to name-calling and getting personal... Well... I think we all know that no thread and no amount of scolding will change their thinking or maturity levels.

Yeah but the amazing thing is that they knew it was flawed going into the election... So u really really think if she had lost that the Bahamian population would have been any the wiser... Let me help u out with that...NO!!!!!! So take this self righteous crap somewhere else... Yes all Bahamians should be extremely glad that the flaw in the voting process has been exposed... Yet at the same token, grow up in a situation like this, persons will throw jeers, comeon... THAT'S HUMAN NATURE...

Byron win Allyson lose and life goes on. The system is broken and has been for many,many years. This is not the first time it was under scrutiny, and I am sure this ain't the last.

Sometimes we need humor in our life and I sure had that last night!!

These P.L.P sympatizers on this site, had their fun on May 2nd 2002. Now the shoe on the other feet. It is YOUR SHOE, stop crying and wear it!!

I like David Wallace, IF YOU DON'T LAUGH YOU WILL CRY!

I fer one ain crying,

CRAB SOUP ANYONE!!!

Robbin, this is not just funny, this is hilarious, wait….. it’s hysterical.

See had Allyson Maynard just accept her LEGAL defeat from May 2nd this all would have been over with and done.

But you in school when a child fails a test and how ‘certain people’ just to arrogant, spoiled, bratty, foolish and can’t accept their defeat so they holler and scream and cry and pant and then finally the teacher shows them the right answer they the shut up without a word?

Reminds you of a recent situation?

Excuse me, but that is just so damn rude and disrespectful of you!

“Now, congrats to Mr. Woodside and the FNM supporters, for actually winning the constituency.”

Watch ya self. He ALREADY ACCUTALLY won the constituency from May 2nd 2007! Only Allyson Maynard and her crony PLP’s couldn’t get that. Save it please because it’s your faulty type of “congratulations” that is NOT wanted.

Also, It’s funny because she LOST, claimed she won, when everyone knew that she did and now all she did was waste time, resources and money just be to told she lost….again!

She’s didn’t have any guts. What she had was too much PRIDE! That’s what caused her to g to court.

Nothing needed to be “proven”! Woodside won on May 2nd, he won on January 21st and if you or any of your people feel the need, count it again man, I say count it again and the results will STILL be the same!


It een serious because she herself flawed the system and it backfired on her. THAT’s where it gets hysterical!!!!

However, this is no victory- moral or real- if this is the type of politics and skullduggery, we have to sink to in order to win.

Yes this is a victory, a BIG victory for all those who believe in what is just and what is fair. I’m sorry, but I can’t expect a PLP to ever understand that concept. The system proved fair and just and just like the May 2nd Allyson Maynard is LEGALLY NO LONGER a Member of Parliament!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pray to Jesus she finally understands that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
