PLP are similar to U.S. Democrats; FNM are similar to U.S. Republicans.

Any similar thoughts.

So...

You seem to think that the Progressive Liberal Party is like the Democrats, the liberal convention in the United States.

Who woulda thunk it.


Everyone shoutin' "PLP" and "FNM!" but we (and them) forget what the letters stand for sometimes.

Actually that is completely wrong
Basically because there is no policy or ideological difference between the FNM and PLP, really there isn't. It is only personality politics. Everything from Atlantis, to NHI, to foreign investment is the same under the FNM and PLP. The Democrats and Republicans principally do have some ideological differences when it comes to the role that government should play, etc.
Secondly, most Bahamians FNM and PLP's prefer Democrats, that's just the way it is.

The comparsion is not real.
The US has abortion, gay rights, gun control and a lot of other issues that the republicans and democrats take diffrent sides on. Here its all talk about the same crap, we gonna give you more stuff and not waste your money like them others.

Clearly if we evaluate every item they support (abortion, etc) there are some differences.

BUT ON THE ECONOMIC FRONT, the PLP seem to support the poor and working-class, while (contrary to their talk) the FNM support the rich, foreign investors and the good ole' boys network.

Now when you factor in corruption, then maybe the playing field is leveled more :-) cause both parties doing the "under the table $$ deals"....
