“Majority of Bahamians believe in the PLP” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “OPPOSITION leader Philip Brave’ Davis said yesterday he thinks the majority of the country believes in the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) brand and that the party is for the people.

When asked if he feels the opposition party has shaken the negative perception which led to the Christie administration’s chorusing defeat at the polls in 2017, Mr. Davis said ‘yes’.

At the PLP’s monthly press conference, he also said the PLP is now on its way to reshaping, retooling and lifting up the Progressive Liberal Parry Brand.

He said: ‘I’m satisfied that majority of the Bahamian people still believe that we are the party of the people.’

In the 2017 general election, nearly all of the PLP’s Cabinet ministers and senior members lost their parliamentary seats following a landslide victory for the Free National Movement (FNM).”

It Is clear that Philip “Brave” Davis is clearly delusional or just plain out of touch with reality if he actually believes that the opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) has shaken the negative perception which led to the Christie administration’s ‘crushing defeat at the polls in 2017’. 

As he attempts to thrown the former leader of the PLP and former prime minister, the Hon. Perry Christie ‘under the bus’; essentiality blaming him and his brand for the defeat, what he [Davis] fails to realize is that the current leader and current chairman, Senator Fred Mitchell are also seen as being as a part of that “Christie brand” which he now wishes to attempt to distance himself from and until both are gone the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) will always been seen as that which  the Hon. ‘Brave’ Davis suggests it was seen as under Perry Christie.

My advice to Philip ‘Brave’ Davis is to not take the public’s discontent with the Free National Movement (FNM) government as a belief in the Progressive Liberal Party’s ‘brand’; this is a very dangerous and egregious assumption to make but making dangerous and egregious assumptions seems to be the PLP way; that and walking out of the House of Assembly when they can’t get their way.

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