“PLP: Minnis ‘unprincipled and ill-prepared’ to lead” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “The Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) continued to promote its message that the Christie administration is the ‘only government’ that can take the country into the 21^st century at the weekend, while accusing the Free National Movement (FNM) Leader Dr. Hubert Minnis of being ‘unprincipled and ill-prepared.’

While addressing scores of supporters at a joint Abaco branch meeting at the Central Abaco Primary School on Saturday night, Prime Minister Perry Christie said he has the ‘intellect, eloquence and energy to run the country while Dr. Minnis, on the other hand, is afraid to stand on the same stage with him and debate the issues.”

First, I would just like to say that from word ‘on the ground’ and pictures of the PLP’s event in Abaco, to say that ‘scores of supporters’ were present in being extremely generous but to bring that to light is just simply being petty, like the Prime Minister presenting himself as intelligent, eloquent and energetic compared to Dr. Hubert Minnis or anyone else for that matter.

The Progressive Liberal Party government has failed.

They have now sat down, re-evaluated the situation and have come to the determination that if they were to attempt to run on their record and achievements, they have a very serious problem; because they have failed the people miserably, so the best that they can do is to channel all of their efforts into discrediting the Leader of the Free National Movement on a more personal level, and they are even failing at this – they are failures.

The Prime Minister speaks to who is least principled and prepared and I ask him who is less principled then himself; to have a Cabinet riddled with scandals without any repercussions; surely he is not serious and I would dare say that the only thing that he seems prepared for is to give an eloquent and superfluous speech and the accompanying photo-op; as the actual principles of governance still seems to elude him and his government.

Indeed, Prime Minister Perry Christie has attempted to make the campaign narrative about Dr. Minnis and himself, while Dr. Minnis has made it about his team and the people but I cannot blame Prime Minister Christie about making it about him and not his party; because beside having no record to run on it would be best to focus on himself because it would appear that over fifty percent (50 %) of the PLP’s ratified candidates are ‘repeat offenders’ from his first administration; whom he has recycled in hopes of reviving into a third term, God forbid if he were able to win the upcoming general election.

I wonder what principles would Prime Minister Perry Christie be talking about though, when he is the one losing his cool over the words of a person he describes as a “lunatic’ and openly flipping him ‘the bird’.

The Prime Minister either has turned into a comedian or has taken leave of his sense.

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