PC will not be the leader of the PLP.

Having said that, no a 3rd party will not have any viability in the Bahamas. The electorate isnt big enough, politically educated enough, and is far to loyal to their current parties. This has been reviewed, analyzed andd evaluated many many times, and I dont think it will ever happen.
If PC is not the leader of the PLP in 2012, you can bet your bottom dollar that the PLP will remain in opposition!! IMO.....

IN MY view any one whom the PLP put forth can do a good job.. the parties mechinary would get behind then and they will have to fight like anyone else... it is always a 50/50 chance...

UNLIKE 2002, Tommy is ma boy.. but it was hard to (LOL)... :taped2:
You are joking right???

LOL You can't be serious!!!

Let me see Cassius Stewart SMT
Dexter Johnso - Who he is???

Bahamian people are a peculiar people to judge in any election. Some are so seasoned they have both PLP and FNM shirts and use which ever depending on who wins and use the other to wash their cars with BOL. But look at Tennyson, it was said that he was well loved by the people in Bamboo Town and he did lots in his area.By the same token I heard Carl Bethel would never get re-elected but you see what happened.
Gal look ya you are so right!!

Dexter supported the FNM in the last election...He said that he did not want to run his people to cut into the FNM's votes (LOL) which could have caused the PLP to win again!!

I guess he was a former FNM.....could be wrong.....

If Cecil Wallace Whitfield and the other Dissident 8 thought like you, would there be a Free PLP? They didn't have time for trickery. Perhaps Lynden Pindling's astute political senses made these kind of underhanded tactics impossible. Hence, Perry Christie's political failures.

When your efforts fail, many in the public will not even know about your efforts, they'll only assume that all of the PLP's lack backbone, i.e. are apathetic. If Perry Christie chooses to lead the PLP into the next election I predict that no one in the party will have the cajones to do anything about it. The PLP will have to suffer a miserable defeat in 2012 to force this detested chieftain into political retirement.
5 years ago no one thought that HI would have a chance at becoming PM again except a few people who fought for his return!!

So far most people are disappointed in HI's leadership and they think that he is much worse than he was in 92.....Word is he does not seem to care like he used to.....He is like people who show up to work day after day but they really don't want to be there!!

Who knows what the future holds???

I await Labour Day!!!!

It is not apathy that will result in the next political revolution. It is the exact opposite. It is the few who believe there is a better way, the few who are motivated to make a difference, the few who are willing to make sacrifices to see it happen. This few will reform a party from the inside out, revolutionalizing what the party stands for, energizing the populous. Tha twill be the next political revolution. The revolution has started.
Sounds good canesfins. I am happy to see someone wants change and is moving to bring it. But let me give you some advise. You can't teach an old dog new tricks! Like a cold virus you may come into the body of the plp and swim around for a while. but then you will start to make that body sick. Its age old machinery will kick in and in a week or so destroy you: or you will destroy it.
You don't change from the inside out. You destroy from the inside out. So if its really change you want you may need to scrap that useless inside out strategy and do like the dissident 8 did!
Revolutions never work out in the end. What we need is EVOLUTION!

MAYBE, the dark horse that we have not seen as yet...
There will be a dark horse, we are holding the reins to save him for the stretch run, we do not want to pull an Eight Belles, no whip until the last mile.

Sounds very good, are we talking about a white Bahamian version of Obama?. Just think about a White leader of the PLP, now that would be a revolution and evolution.

Who said a white leader? Who said Obama? You dont win anything in the press, that is the best way to destroy it. Things happen in the quiet behind closed doors BEFORE getting to the press.

CANESFINS you are a known PLP, and if the revolution begins from the inside out, then it is obviously your and your cohorts intention to use cunning, guile and deception to achieve your means. This is nothing more than cowardice. Until you and your PLP cohorts stand up for what you believe by being sincere about your REAL thoughts on his leadership, then this is still apathy. Apathy becomes action when strong people grow tired of the political trickery and ruses, and decide that apathy is death.

I hav enever claimed anywhere to be a PLP, so please, dont start assuming things, we all know what that does.

Change is not initiated in the press, and I have no intention of using anything but the truth and inspiration to accomplish anything. You have no idea who I am or what I am about so your unecessary assumptions are way out of line.:confused:

I said a White leader, that is my view of revolution, it would be good for race relations in this country. What I hit a raw nerve?

No, not a raw nerve, and I agree with you, although I dont think it will happen.

Anything is possible, remember, the PLP was started by white bahamians and i would certainly support the right white leader. The comparison to Obama is appropriate as he has started a revolution.

But do you think that the majority of Bahamians could?
