Senator Fred Mitchell, Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) continues to prove my assertion of just when you thought that you had reached the ground floor of stupidity/ignorance; there is indeed a basement.
“Statement From Fred Chairman of the PLP on National Review Piece on PLP elections”
Excerpt from this statement; “This morning’s National Review piece in the Nassau Guardian attacking the state of the internal democracy in the PLP has once again not met the test of journalistic standards. The first test to meet the standard of journalism is whether it is true or not.
The article this morning by Candia Dames, Managing Editor of the Nassau Guardian, is simply not true. It is based on a false premise and is adopting the propaganda of the Free National Movement.
Once you begin with a false premise, the entire article on which is based becomes a tissue of lies.
Philip Brave Davis, Leader of the PLP, has hosted three consecutive conventions in two years. To call him undemocratic is outrageous and untrue.”

To tell the God’s honest truth, Senator Fred Mitchell cracks me right up as he desperately looks for someone to blame for the public’s perception of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP), as a less than honest political organization, as it now struggles to rebrand itself ahead of the 2022 general elections.
The chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) boasts that Mr. Davis has hosted three consecutive conventions in two years and intimates that this magically makes the PLP a more democratic party but does not seem to appreciate that this does not negate the fact that the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) has suppressed democracy within its very own walls for over nine consecutive years leading up to these three rushed conventions and seems to be on the very same track going into this convention, as the stalwarts and delegates are strongly recommended to not challenge the present leadership.
This is not Free National Movement (FNM) propaganda or anyone else propaganda but rather Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) reality.
During these nine years without a national convention, the PLP’s very own constitution calling for one every year, Mr. Davis, party leader and Senator Fred Mitchell, party chairman, sat quietly but only now seek to be looked upon as democratic as if their past deeds do not count.
The Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party then goes on to make this very odd statement and does not seem to see the irony in it; “Once you begin with a false premise, the entire article; on which it is based becomes a tissue of lies.” But he must realize two things; one, the PLP’s entire campaign against the government to this point has for the most part been based on false premises and two, the PLP now attempts to build a viable and credible party on an unsound foundation [false premises] and wonders why it is not being received more favorably.
Is Senator/Chairman Mitchell suggesting that he and others were unable to do anything about their undemocratic way or even speak out about it?
Are the leader of the Opposition, Mr. Philip Brave Davis and the Chairman of the Opposition Senator Fred Mitchell suggesting that under the leadership of the Hon. Perry G. Christies they were forced into an undemocratic relationship and rendered powerless and voiceless?
By the way, there is a Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) constitution to be burnt, for those that have problems with constitutions and what they say.
The suggestion within itself is laughable and simply ludicrous and can only be put forth by persons who have NO respect for others and other person’s intelligence.
