“Galanis praises campaign of leadership challenger Sears” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “Former PLP MP Philip Galanis yesterday praised the leadership platform presented by former Attorney General Alfred Sears as a welcome resprite from the status quo of visionless political leadership and a return to the core values of the Progressive Liberal Party.

Mr. Galanis threw his support behind a number of reforms outlined in the 26 page manifesto, entitled “A Vision For Our Revolution: Transforming the Bahamas for the 21^st Century”, rolled out by Sears last month – namely on immigration and economic empowerment.

While he noted that his support for many of the reforms did not signal his endorsement of Mr. Sears for PLP leader, Mr. Galanis commended the political hopeful on his courage and tenacity in penning a manifesto in his campaign for leadership of the governing party.”

While Mr. Galanis may not come out and support Mr. Sears for leader of the Progressive Liberal Party, there seems to be one thing that he and Mr. Sears have in common and this is that the current leadership of the governing Progressive Liberal Party is “visionless”.

“Sears to run for PLP leader – Former MP concerned about the current direction of the country” – The Nassau Guardian; August 8^th, 2016.

Indeed, these are questionable and serious indictments on the present Progressive Liberal Party leadership, and I include the word ‘questionable’ because they have both ‘hidden’ there contempt for the present PLP leadership in language that is meant to be ‘diplomatic’; when the time for diplomacy in this matter as long passed and of course they will respond that they have no ‘contempt’ for the present leadership, while still urging the need for the party to return to its ‘core values’.

The time has come for there to be a ‘revolution’ within the Progressive Liberal Party, in order to move the party forward and bring it in line with the currents needs of the county.  So I find it curious as to who is “Our” in “A Vision For Our Revolution: Transforming the Bahamas for the 21^st Century”, when everyone seems to fall just short of endorsing Mr. Sears and ‘new vision’, while still attempting to convince us all that they seek exactly what he says he seeks.

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