AFTER suffering a devastating loss at the polls in the 2007 General Elections, the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) remained in election mode throughout the five-year administration of former Prime Minister Hubert A Ingraham.
I WOULD like to address the few persons, who seem to think that Hon Dr Hubert A Minnis is not the best choice of leader for the Free National Movement Party.
May 7th, 2012, has come and gone, perhaps painfully and disappointingly so for you and for many Bahamians, but be assured that the legacy of national pride, success and upliftment you have inculcated in the psyche of Bahamians of every walk of life, whether acknowledged or not, will be indelibly etched in our memories and in our hearts.
THE crime problem is indeed vexing and heartrending. We are losing by the day one potential soul for great change in The Bahamas. It is along this vein that I write. One of the greatest measures in our resolution of the country's foremost issue is being neglected. I am beginning to wonder if it is purposely so.
MOST Bahamians should know by now that the fifth prime minister elect of the Bahamas is the Rt Hon. Perry Gladstone Christie. He joins Hubert Ingraham as the only prime minister in Bahamian history to serve non-consecutive terms.
I AM not surprised at all that the Free National Movement (FNM) has been soundly defeated by the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) in the General Election. The FNM was simply destroyed at the polls by the PLP. The new official Opposition party was only able to win nine seats to the PLP's 29.
ADMITTEDLY, I was depressed about the FNM's loss, and, moreso over Ingraham's exit from active politics.
I THOUGHT that Dr BJ Nottage was a different kind of person and PLP. He always came across as a nice person. I remember what he used to stand for when he was head of the CDR.
I WOULD like to comment on an article which appeared in the April 5 edition of The Nassau Guardian.
Mr Christie and the PLP have a golden opportunity.
THE following in my preliminary autopsy report on the May 7, 2012 general election - which resulted in the crushing defeat of the Free National Movement (FNM) party and its now deflated leader, Hubert Alexander Ingraham.
THE question, "Which opposition party has the better leader" was recently posed on Facebook by a DNA candidate, and I find it very interesting because the answer to the question will definitely determine the support that each party can garner and keep over the next five years leading up to the next general election.
IT IS now 7.15am May 8, 2012, and in the words of Ryan Pinder - "It OVA!" I am proud of the way my fellow Bahamians went to the polls and peacefully casts their votes. While waiting in line, I saw many class acts that made me smile; FNM's and PLP's hugging each other, some engaged in cheerful conversation. Divided in opinion, yet united in their common love for country and fellow man.
MR INGRAHAM, you did your best and that is all anyone could have asked of you. Your personality was such that you were either loved or reviled. As a staunch FNM supporter, I must admit that every decision that you made I did not like nor agree with, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt because it is easy to criticise when you are on the outside looking in.
THE general elections of 2012 in the Bahamas are now history and for the second time in five years, the Bahamian people have changed governments. They rejected Perry Christie in 2007 and now they have soundly rejected Hubert Ingraham in 2012.
It is very disheartening to see the staunch Free National Movement (FNM) supporters of Long Island with their heads down and tails between their legs as though they are in mourning. In fact, Mrs Loretta Butl
After having just voted, I sit in a state of total frustration to pen this letter. I am the daughter of two hard working parents, the sister of a supportive group of siblings and an Attorney-at-Law
I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to you for allowing me into your homes and your lives during this historic election campaign. You have allowed me and the Democratic National Alliance to do what no other has done before.
I WAS raised in the Christian faith and though I still believe in a power greater than myself - or the rulers of any country - I cannot be called religious.
Thanks for allowing me a space in your esteemed paper to express my disgust with some PLP posters that were placed on the light poles in the vicinity of the Marathon Mall. How despicable can those who aspire to become the next govern
On Wednesday, April 18, 2012, Mr Hubert Ingraham, accompanied by a large group of FNM supporters, did a drive through of Bain Town. At one point they came in contact with Dr Bernard Nottage, the MP, and a large group of PLP supporter

I MUST admit that I like to attend political rallies, and it's mainly because I love politics. The occasion is also used to socialise with friends as well as to be informed first hand of what is being promised by candidates "if elected." When I can't attend, I watch on television.
I am always weary of aspiring leaders who try to convince us of things that they themselves cannot possibly believe. Recently, PLP Leader Perry Christie decried the "jokes" and "one-liners" contained in the Prime Minister's rally speeches. He described the Prime Minister as a comedian and unbecoming a statesman. Mr Christie is sufficiently knowledgeable about the art of public speaking that he must, in truth, admire Mr Ingraham's success in this regard. Mr Ingraham is no comedian.
\IN THE April 20 edition of The Tribune newspaper, an interesting story was published under the heading: Money isn't Everything On The Declarations - Sometimes It's About The Plants. This of course was in reference to the financial disclosures of the 133 candidates after Nomination Day on April 17.
