“Sears backs Cooper on PLP views” – The Tribune

Except from this article; “FORMER Attorney General Alfred Sears applauded Exuma and Ragged Island MP Chester Cooper’s recent frank reflections on the Progressive Liberal Party’s loss yesterday while former State Minister for National Security Keith Bell said he disagreed with those remarks.

‘Those represent his personal views to which he is entitled to make but they don’t represent my view and I disagree with his view,’ Bell said.  ‘A combination of reasons (caused the PLP’s loss) but I reserve my views for the moment.  No need to add to the confusion.”

What ‘moment’ would that be Mr. Bell?

As some attempt to distance themselves from former Prime Minister and former leader of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Perry Christie, there are still those that seek to hold in place his legacy.

“Mitchell won’t ‘pile on’ Christie criticism” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Senator Fred Mitchell said yesterday that former Prime Minister has accepted responsibility for the party’s 2017 defeat and he won’t ‘join in on the parade’ to ‘trample’ his name.

It is indeed good that the former prime minister has accepted responsibly for the party’s election defeat but has he had that ‘come to Jesus’ moment on exactly what it was he did wrong and are others that seem to want to hold onto Christie name and legacy aware of exactly what brought about this crushing defeat because it would appear that some like Senator Fred Mitchell would do the same thing all over again, in the very same way if they were able to; even knowing the outcome – this is simply amazing.

Indeed, there is a divide in the Progressive Liberal Party about the future direction of the party and it seems that the only person from the ‘old guard’ to express their desire to stay the course is Senator Fred Mitchell; others either could not be reached for comment or just refused to comment.

The Progressive Liberal Party continues to fail for one reason, it is their nature.
