This morning Candia Dames writes in The National Review of as “Aborted Apology” by the Leader of the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. Philip ‘Brave’ Davis’ but I have two questions; one, was there meant to be an apology and two does the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) feel that they have anything to apologize to the people of The Bahamas for?

“PM: PLP owes nation an apology – Minnis calls for cooperation from opposition” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Dr. Hubert Minnis said yesterday that Opposition Leader Philip Brave Davis’ acknowledgment that the Christie administration made mistakes and lost the trust of the people, should have been followed by an apology.

In a national address on Monday night, Davis said the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) recognizes it made mistakes during its last term in office, which resulted in the Bahamian people sending a ‘powerful message for change’.

‘I had listened tentatively and of you make mistakes. And you know you made mistakes, I was listening for the apology,’ said Minnis, following a visit at Albany.

‘There was no such apology.’

Davis assured the PLP has reflected on and embraced this message with ‘humility’ and determination.’

He also acknowledged that the PLP lost the trust of the Bahamian people’ on too many fronts’.

However, Davis said there is still support for the PLP’s ideology, and recognition that the party has brought about transformational change in the Bahamas.”

It seems that whenever lost the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) resorts to its record to save them but what they must realize is that while many and most do recognize and support the ideology of the Progressive Liberal Party, many and most also have come to realize that the PLP has wandered far way from these ideologies that once made it a party that is able to bring about “transformational change”, this is why they continue to fail.

Prime Minister, the Hon. Dr. Hubert Minnis, calls for cooperation from the Progressive Liberal Party, this is excepted but at this time the opposition which cannot even seem to muster the humility to apologize to the people of the country, even the Rt. Hon. Hubert Ingraham has the courage and humility to do this, seem to be on another ‘mission’ which is to win the next general election at all cost.

They [the Opposition] must realize that they do not only need to apologize for the ‘mistakes’ that they have made during their time in office but for what they continue to do as the opposition; as they set out to divide the electorate in what can only been seen as a sad and desperate effort to reach out to those that they feel had ‘deserted’ them during the last election.

 The Progressive Liberal Party in still in campaign mode and therefore has no desire to cooperate or feel sorry because as Senator Fred Mitchell put if shortly after the general election; “. . . Politics is not a crying game. It is a competition for power. Power is the only fact. They have it, we want it and need it to govern and protect the poor in this country. The rich are now in charge. Eileen Carron, Louis Bacon. Fred Smith, Sarkis Izmirlian. That is the fight now against rich and powerful monied interests,” Mr. Mitchell noted, also thanking those who voted for him in Fox Hill.

The Progressive Liberal Party continues to fail, because it is their nature.
