I believe most of the country in the caribbean have this same problem.
it will take the people of these nation to make the change.never put a rat to watch cheese.its and old say but true.i was thinking about this yesterday.LAWYERS BELONG IN THE COURT ROOM OF OUR COUNRTY.DOCTORS IN OUR HOSPITAL .WHY WON BUSINESS MAN RUN FOR HOA AND RUN THIS COUNTRY THE WAY ITS SUPOSE TO BE RUNAS A WELL RUN OIL MACHINE.

Like most democratic countries; we are a societies based upon laws and, being such, it is always those practitioner of law that will inevitably rise to the seats of power. It’s not a conspiracy but the way our democracy is setup.

However, had the founders of the Bahamas, in it’s early inception, adapted a socialist form of governance; we may have had a leadership consisting of a variety of citizens representative of the true makeup of this country; educators leading the ministry of education, health doctors leading the ministry of health, etc..

There may have even been a true statesman in the office of chief executor for the Bahamas…one could only dream.

Thats another thing that i think needs to be change. Its time we start voting these MPs in on their own merit. A lot of them is just ride the political party they associated with cause you only could vote PLP and FNM.

What if i think my MP is doing a good job but dont like the leader of his political party. Shouldn't i be able to keep my MP and get rid of the leader.

Look at the states they vote for the President in an entirely different election than say when they vote for the Governor of a state.

You dnt have to be a socialist regime to run a successful country you know.
I think a lot of it is how the pm chooses his cabinet...if we amended our laws such that we appointed cabinet ministers to run ministries from a pool of qualified competant applicants (w formal nomination hearings in front of elected officials for vetting purposes) we wouldn't be in half the ish we in.
A medical doctor as environmental minister rendered me speechless...a lawyer who appears to have had only experience in the private practice w questionable association breakers puzzled me...an education minister w no relative experience in any capacity w/ education being thrust into a leadership position when we are at a crisis level scares me still (and we wnt even go into his homefront or the tyrannical and dictatorial stance he tried w the loan repayment scheme) nominating a novice w no diplomatic experience as head of foreign affairs is a national travesty ( just cus you can afford to see the world and you read about that dnt make you esteemed in foreign policy...my college roommate can sure as hell do a better job in his minimalist post at one of THE top international ngo's...I can go on and on...

To an extent I do agree with you Tafadhali; you don’t have to be a socialist to run a successful country, however, socialist laws solidifies the unity of any group by placing clearly defined limit upon the individual and the state-wherein partiality is not given to any one social body over another because of political affiliation nor social status. In a sense, all are considered and accepted as equals, and, if done within the confines of civility, the idealistic heaven on earth.

Folk had a chance in 2002 to change, but Bahamians were not feeling the CDR, even though their plans were superior and supreme to the other two. We need to focus group and do some serious analysis as to why Bahamians vote the way that they do, even voting against what may be in their own best interest.

A successful socialist order incorporates the needs of all in the community-including the concerns to which you have alluded; personal accomplishments and wealth. Because there has not been establish, on earth, an accurate example to which I can draw upon to illustrate a more meaningful understanding for you to grasp intently; I made mention of an archetypical society-heaven as an ideal government wherein all are equals, all are rich and all live in total harmony.

We may not reach that utopian evolutionary stage in our feeble society however; it is a goal to which we all collectively can aspire to achieve.
