Rapid Response on PLP's New Website
E-Mail This Story To A Friend
Published: Friday March 30th, 2007
The PLP’s incomplete new website mimics their performance in office.
After embarrassing delays an exhausted PLP finally caught up with the FNM which launched its comprehensive website months ago.
This is typical: they usually lag behind the FNM in terms of policy and performance. But, they’re good at copying our style.
This is why their website is curiously similar in form to the FNM’s. That is where the comparison ends.
Regarding content and ideas the site is as barren as the PLP’s record in office. This is the PLP way: pomp and circumstance, signifying nothing.
At our web launch we offered detailed ideas on an extraordinary range of issues. In stark contrast, at their launch, the Issues section of their site contained not a single item.
Nothing new on crime. Nothing new on protecting our land. Nothing new on jobs. Nothing new on immigration. Nothing new on good governance.
It’s relatively easy to set up a website. It takes vision and competence to produce content and ideas. On this, the PLP will never catch up to the FNM.
Desperate for content, the PLP has included scores of old press releases and statements as far back as 2003. This is to give an illusion of content.
A great deal of the information comes from Government agencies such as Bahamas Information Services. An extraordinary number of stories have been borrowed from The Bahama Journal.
In other words, the PLP is borrowing content written by public officers and journalists. This is no surprise. Left on their own, they have little to offer.
The PLP is good at karaoke: they can lip-synch the words of others, but do not possess the talent to produce their own material.
Instead of wasting time complaining about the style of the FNM website, the PLP should follow our example and provide more substance and less fluff; more fire and less smoke; and more originality and less photocopying.
The various interest groups behind Perry Christie are afraid of losing the election; cheap access to Bahamian land and PLP Cabinet Ministers; and the run of the country.
They know that Perry Christie lacks the energy and discipline to coordinate an effective campaign. So they have decided to dress up a miserable record in all kinds of make-up, fancy talk and perfume.
When all of this wears off, we’re left with a PLP website and campaign; leadership and record; and vision and performance which can no longer tell the difference between style and substance.
With the PLP you actually can judge the book by its cover!
