If it were coming from me, then it would be classified as biased political talk but when it comes from one in your own camp, then what do you call it?

“PLP MP calls on party to repent – Cooper claims he knew Christie was a tough sell” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; In a frank and scathing speech before the Progressive Liberal Party’s (PLP) National Progressive Institute last night, Exuma and Ragged Island MP Chester Copper charged that the party lost the 2017 general election because it ‘protected the interest of the party over the interest of the nation’, and urged party members to makes a ‘sincere and humble apology and repentance’ to its supporters and the country.

‘I don’t expect this suggestion to be warmly embraced, but the Anglicans and Catholics would be familiar with the act of penitence: If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us,’ he said.

Cooper also acknowledged that during the recent election campaign, then Prime Minister Perry Christie was a hard sell.

He said as he campaigned voters told him more than once that, ‘Chester, I like you.  You are the best candidate by far, with the best plan.  I want to support you, but I can’t vote for you because I cannot support Perry Christie or what the PLP has become, and a vote for you is a vote for Christie.

Cooper said the party was ‘out of touch’ and not ‘transparent and accountable’ enough in the lead up to the election.”

Right now this young man is saying all the right things but is it too little too late for him to remove himself from the shadow of the Christie legacy? Most may claim that his success at the polls is a sign of this but he only managed to garner 51.57% of the votes cast that day and also the question should be asked, when exactly did he have these revelations about the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) and its former leader?

When Mr. Cooper speaks about having ‘no sin’ and deceiving oneself’, he must be mindful that the very persons that he may have been addressing as he made this “frank and scathing speech” are the very ones that are full of ‘sin’ and have been judged accordingly by the people and by this very same token if the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) is to pick itself up, it must rid itself of the image/legacy of ‘party first’, which exists heavily in the ‘old guard’ of the party and even within Mr. Cooper himself; who saw no reason to sound the alarm when he saw things going wrong leading into the 2017 general election

The Progressive Liberal Party seems to just not get it.

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