FNM supporters are gleeful about their party's fortunes and their political prospects in 2007, and it's not hard to understand why.
Hubert A. Ingraham has shown himself to be a strong and effective leader. He has gotten rid of the spoil apples in the party. Now the party faithful, along with hundreds of PLPs are all together ready to take the helms of government. His handling of the party’s affairs after his re-election as party leader is now paying heavy dividends and the best is yet to come.
FNMs by most accounts are extremely energized and are about campaigning and planning for the battle ahead. What is important to note is that FNM candidates are been received well by Bahamians, they are a force to recon with. Predictions of an FNM upset are expected in areas like North Andros, Fox Hill, Delaport, MICAL to name a few. The FNMs chances in winning is now greater then a 50% and it is rising impressively in the aftermath of the PLPs revelation of their candidates. In fact many political observers have said that an FNM victory is all now secure it is the FNM who can spoil it.
There are scattered signs throughout the Bahamas that resentment to Mr. Christie’s inability to make decisions is not resting well with many Bahamians especially male and first-time voters. In fact most now have come to realize that for the past five years our Prime Minister may not have been all what now he proclaims to be.
The economy and the 20 billion that the PLPs talk about is due largely to the decision of Hubert Ingraham to allow Kerzner development to be established in the Bahamas. With that in mind Bahamians are now assured that more investors of the making of Kerzner will come under the invitation of Hubert A. Ingrham This will mean better paying job creation for young Bahamians who are not impressed at the quality of jobs presently. The FNM is now unbeatable except by themselves, by some ghastly gaffe or wrong move.
Turning to Grand Bahama, some Bahamians are listening to the talk on the street suggesting close to 70 percent approval ratings for FNM candidates. It is expected that the FNM will achieve something similar to the FNM win on that island in 1997. There's nothing magical about this, simply the fact that Grand Bahamians especially feel that the PLP just cannot handle it. But the theory is that the enthusiasm for Hubert Ingraham’s return will turn out Bahamians voters in droves and push up the FNM vote enough to boost an FNM Landslide.
This is a plausible scenario. But FNMs should not start planning their post-election celebration galas because they should consider one important fact. It is this, the PLP has the treasury of the Bahamas at it finger tip and believe you me, and they are using it. The C B Moss betrayal is sufficient evidence that every deal is been made to keep Bahamians in line and caused them to vote for the PLP. This is an abuse of the office but this is also the PLPs old record.
It's actually a blessing, I think, that most of our candidates are new, young and vibrant. That is good news compared to the significant amount of suspicious PLP candidates who have their own case to answer to the Bahamian people.
Notice the PLP went nasty and the FNM campaign for now is above the scrimmage. Nationally, there is no uncertainties the FNM is now poised to be the next government of the Bahamas. At the time I am writing, the FNM looks very strong. It is not too early to say this because I strongly believe that the FNM will get stronger. I can only see a tidal wave for the FNM and then try to estimate its potential impact on traditional PLP strong holds like Bain Town, Farm Road, Grant’s Town, Cat Island, Englerston and St. Celica.
Wait, watch, but I urge FNM to ward off over confidence.
