Mass confusion and grand chaos was the order of the day at the advance poll earlier this week here in New Providence and my only hope is that it was not this at the international polls or on the Family Islands, but this merely goes to show the type of governance which the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) has been and has presented to the people over the past five years.

“CHAOS – Advanced polls plagued by irregularities, confusion” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Chaotic scenes played out during the advance poll at Kendal. G. L. Isaacs Gymnasium, with many people waiting for up to four or five hours to vote and others prevented from voting because their names were not on the register.

Some opted to leave instead of waiting it out in the sweltering conditions with no clarity about the process.

In the Family Islands, some people who were registered to vote during the early poll were stunned to learn yesterday morning that, unlike previous elections, advance polls were not taking place on the islands.

This meant that they either had to hop on a plane to New Providence or Grand Bahama yesterday, cancel travel plans for next week or skip voting altogether.

In New Providence, Parliamentary Commissioner Sherlyn Hall had advertised voting at the gym and the nearby stadium.

However, officials changed course, opening polls at the gym only.

This resulted in hundreds of voters at the time, cramming the area surrounding the gym.”

This type of action is indicative of the vision of this government; one that would make such a bold move without considering the possible ramifications, we call this having no ‘foresight’.

Who in this government is in charge of these things?!

I was one of those persons who waited for what seemed to be an eternity only to be turned away as my name was not on the advanced poll register, it was long and frustrating but as bad as things have gotten, for me I always have come to expect this and more of this ‘new’ PLP; they simply cannot be trusted to get anything right.

This is the reason why this government needs to be voted out; never to ever see the halls of The Honorable House of Assembly ever again.

Who is in charge of ‘elections’ in this out-going government and who will they blame for this chaotic scene, as out-going Prime Minister Perry Christie has already hinted at the Parliamentary Commissioner as being at fault.

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