Basically a lack of connection to the people to whom they claim to stand for but just do not seem to listen to but mostly they, as a political organization and government, seemed to have become inundated with a sense of self-righteousness that is nothing less than nauseous.

“Forbes; No need for PLP apology – MP labels Chester Cooper’s PLP repentance suggestion nonsense” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “South Andros MP Picewell Forbes charged yesterday that the Progressive Liberal Party PLP) has nothing to repent for and won’t stoop down in the face of an election defeat.

‘I know there is a time and place to say certain things.  This whole thing about repent and redeem yourself is nonsense,’ said Forbes.

‘The PLP is a party of legacy and history, man.  We have made some mistakes.’

‘We have not gotten everything right, but to tell the oldest established party in this country amidst all its fallibility, ‘You have to now stoop down, repent, reengineer, rebrand’.  No man, the people make a decision.”

Following in the same vain as Senator Fred Mitchell, South Andros MP Picewell Forbes yesterday suggested that although the Progressive Liberal Party has done some things wrong during its last administration, it has nothing to feel ‘repentant’ for because, as would he suggest, their governance was based on the legacy of the organization.  What Member of Parliament Picewell Forbes needs to address is what did the Progressive Liberal Party do right in it last five years, amidst all the controversies and scandals and also address how these controversies and scandals negatively impacted the lives of the Bahamian people whom he and his former colleagues swore to protect.

The entire concept of ‘stooping down’ is a connection that Mr. Forbes has made in his mind and it probably came about while speaking with his other parliamentary colleagues but if to sit back and reevaluate your position in light of the current circumstances i.e. reengineer, means to ‘stoop down’, then is clear that those in the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) organization are unwilling to do so and thereby move ahead.  I wonder what the foreign consultant will come up with.

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