The current Progressive Liberal Party (PLP), once only seen as the most incompetent and inept government in the history of the Bahamas, has now set out to prove that it is also the most pettiest of all.

“PLP planning Majority Rule Day march” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Celebrating the 5oth anniversary of majority rule, Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Chairman Bradley Roberts said the party is planning a march on January 9^th.

The march is planned for the same day as the We March Bahamas protest downtown, though it is unclear exactly where PLP’s the march will take place.

‘The PLP will be marching in large numbers,’ Roberts said at a press conference on Monday.

‘It will be marking the 50^th anniversary that is significant for PLP’s in particular, if you want to go back in history.

‘We will be in big numbers.’

On January 10, 1967, both the PLP led by [Sir] Lynden Pindling, and the United Bahamas Party (UBP), led by Sir Rowland Symonette, won 18 seats in the House of Assembly in the general election.

The labour candidate, Rowland Fawkes, was also successful in the election.

Both he and independent candidate Alvin Braynen threw their support behind the PLP, with Braynen accepting the position of speaker of the House of Assembly.

Their support resulted in the PLP forming the government and ushering in black majority rule for the first time in the country’s history,”

I guess Mr. Bradley Roberts, the current Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) had already left the UBP by this time and joined forces with the PLP, but then I tend to digress.

When Majority Rule Day was first introduced as a national holiday in 2014, yes it took the Progressive Liberal Party to whom the Bradley Roberts says this day holds such ‘significance’ forty seven (47) years to set aside a day celebrate it; I waited with abated breath for the grand celebrations; which I figured would only be second to that of Independence Day itself but yet I got none.  There were no public celebration for the very first recognized Majority Rule Day holiday of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas – nothing for the people but now as “We Bahamas” plans a march, the Progressive Liberal Party now plans a march and have aligned it with the PLP brand, as Chairman Bradley Roberts says, “……marchers will be dressed in PLP paraphernalia….”, I see the PLP still is feeling ‘some sort of way’ about the first “We Bahamas” march and is still taking it as a personal slight against the PLP and not all Bahamas government; and there is a difference.

So the Progressive Liberal Party is about to finally  mark the Majority Rule Day with a march, I guess the 50^th Anniversary of Majority Rule is enough to wake one up to celebrate it because I feel that it would be far too personal, petty and beneath this government to attempt to divide the people of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas by detracting from a unifying march such as the one planned by the “ “We Bahamas” group that is merely asking for transparency and accountability from this government and all governments to follow.

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