“PM: PLP govt. is not perfect – ‘Voters will look past high crime and unemployment” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “MAKING it clear that his administration ‘never claimed to be perfect’ Prime Minister Perry Christie is confident that voters across the country will look past unflagging issues of high unemployment and crime and return the Progressive Liberal Party to office.

Mr. Christie told crowds of supporters at a mini-rally in Marathon on Saturday that notwithstanding challenges, his government never stopped providing opportunities for Bahamians and remained the ‘best investment’ in the country’s future.

His comments come as parliamentarians prepare for the dissolution of Parliament on Tuesday, April 11^th, and the end of government’s legislative agenda.

‘We know that there are those who are looking for jobs,’ he said, ‘who are looking for security, and who feel that more could have been done.  We have never claimed to be perfect but I tell you this, we have never stopped working and providing opportunities for the people of the country.

‘And I have no doubt whatsoever that in the quietude of your homes when you think about it, you know if you are going to make an investment in your future, the best investment you can make is in the PLP.”

Sometimes I am left to wonder as to the mental state of the present Prime Minister; with all due respect, but there is no way that you can stand before a crowd of people and admit to failing them, failing the country, citing high crime and high unemployment as issues that you have failed to effectively address; which would mean that the economy is also failing and you lied about this fact, and still ask the people to ignore these failures and vote for you because you are their best hope.

Who is that blatant?

The people of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas invested in the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) in 2012 and got nothing in return; a dead investment. So exactly what will the people vote for if they were to vote for the PLP in the upcoming general elections?

“So when people have to make a choice when they ask themselves who they should vote for, look at our  record”; but Mr. Prime Minister you have just admitted that your record is a record of failure, so what is there to look at or even consider? 

The Prime Minister and his party are beyond delusional as Fred Mitchell gets up and does a bit of fear mongering, and I ask do we really want these men with this mentality to continue on as leaders of the country. 

Can we afford this type of mentality?

Indeed Mr. Prime Minister, no one is perfect and no one expected you to be.  What was expected of you was to fulfill your promises to the people to an extent wherein you made their quality of life somewhat better than you met it or at the very least helped them maintain their quality of life if you were unable to improve it, but you have even failed at the standards that you had held the former administration to; not even achieving the bare minimum during your tenure in office and yet you are back asking for another chance.

Another chance at what?

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