As of late I must admit I have been surprised by a lot, especially by the Progressive Liberal Party, indeed, their actions surprise and amaze me on a daily basis, so why should today be any different as Bradley Roberts, Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party(PLP) addresses the Official Opposition, Free National Movement’s (FNM) position and concerns over the recently signed ‘deal’ at Baha Mar.

“Roberts slams FNM over position Baha Mar” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “Progressive Liberal Party Chairman Bradley Roberts has branded the Free National Movement a deeply divided party as the organization is perceived to have taken two positions over the unsealing of documents related to the new deal to open $3.5 billion Baha Mar resort.

On Sunday, the FNM announced that it was collecting signatures for an online petition to demonstrate the level of public displeasure with the sealed deal.

However, on Tuesday, FNM Senator Carl Bethel told The Tribune that legally there is nothing the party can do to force the judiciary to unseal the records.  He explained that this is no legal basis for the political organization to assert a right to know in court in connection to the matter.

These two differing positions, Mr. Roberts said was the latest clear example of the ‘woefully deficient’ decision making and judgment of FNM Leader DR. Hubert Minnis.”

Let me get this straight, the FNM party launches an on-line petition to demonstrate the level of displeasure with the ‘deal’ and Senator Carl Bethel saying that there is no legal basis to force the judiciary to unseal the ‘deal’ is a sign of deep friction within the Free National Movement? 

In this case, the ‘quiet war’ being waged against Alfred Sears as he now sets himself to challenge the Rt. Hon. Perry Christie for leadership of the Progressive Liberal Party, suggesting that the PLP leadership is ‘lacking’; is an all out sign of ‘the great divide’, then?

Of course, Mr. Roberts is simply attempting to deflect away from the ‘woefully deficient’ decision making and overall judgment of the PLP Leader and Prime Minister, Perry Christie; that brought the $3.5 bn Baha Mar resort to a stand still for over a year, having many lose great investments and now looking for the government to help them recoup some of this lost, only to find out it may not be as simple as the Prime Minister and his government outlined.

So as the Chairman of the PLP continues to throw excrement against the wall in an attempt to see just how much he can get to stick; I say if the Free National Movement cannot get the ‘deal’ unsealed due to legal reasons there is always another option; which would be to form a ‘committee’, like the one being formed to look into matters related to the recent ruling handed down by Supreme Court Justice Indra Charles involving Marathon Jerome Fitzgerald and his blatant violation of another person’s constitutionally protected right to privacy; to look into the particulars of exactly why this ‘deal’ has been sealed.

The Progressive Liberal Party fails for one reason, it is their nature.
