Ya see I is a simple man...Every so often I does say some bright things...and perhaps come up with some bright ideas...Perhaps not often, but often enough. Nah, I proud to say, I does raise some important issues though...Really because, there are a number of issues that need to be addressed. I always strive to promote a better Bahamas: one with checks and balances; One we all can be proud of...But this why I bug...How come ZNS and some of these News medias don't never know when to use the term 'Honourable.' Correct me if I am wrong, but one becomes "Honourable" when one becomes a Minister. Subsequently one is "honourable" for life. That being said and if that is right, how come Ms. Pleasant Bridgewater on ZNS got the title of "honourable?" She has never been a minister, right? I have noticed numerous times that ZNS report mere MPs as the 'honourable.' Nah, I would be happy to admit I am wrong, if the term 'honourable' can be wontonly applied to a Senator who never had a ministerial post...but now a days I confuse...I am no longer sure who can be 'honourable' or not...Anyway hep a brudda out...all yall political pundits out there, when is it correct to use the title "honourable?"

I'll attempt. From what I remember, the title 'honorable' is used when one has been a CABINET Minister for 2 consecutive terms or more. The person is called 'honorable' even though they may be out of politics. For example, Honorable C A Smith. Not sure. but thats what I remember. Please correct if I am wrong.

The title Honourable is given to cabinet ministers. However one may address a member of Parliament as (for example) Mr. Fred Mitchell, the Honourable Member for Fox Hill.

The house to which they are members of is honourable, not the people. And because they are members of the house, they take the houses title.

It’s like the idea that marriage is an honourable institution. The people who are partied to a marriage may not be honourable but the institution of marriage is.

Remember, the House is what is honourable.

ALL members of the house are honourable because of their association or being a member to the honourable house. It has nothing to do with cabinet but rather the honourable house.

All members of the Honourable House are Honourable. Nothing to do with time.
