There is a saying; “Never make a move from a place of fear and desperation. We tend to make bad decisions in these cases”, well Mr. Philip ‘Brave’ Davis blaming the Free National Movement (FNM) government for his failures to his constituents is a prime example of this.
“Davis: State of Cat Island is FNM fault” – The Nassau Guardian
Excerpt from this article; “Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Leader Philip Brave Davis, who is MP for Cat Island, Rum Cay and San Salvador, said the poor state of his constituency is the fault of the Minnis administration and the Free National Movement (FNM).
Davis who served as deputy prime minister and minister of works under the Christie administration said that has done what he could for his constituency.
“Sadly, this government abandoned those islands.
‘The infrastructure is in quite a deteriorating state and continues to deteriorate.
‘My efforts using the $100,000 per annum that they were giving me is what I have been using to keep that of infrastructure in what I call a useable and workable condition as I could have and as those funds would have allowed me to.
“But sadly, the state of Cat Island, Rum Cay and San Salvador as it is today is a direct result of the abandonment and neglect by this government to those islands.”

When you read some of the stuff that Davis says or writes it makes one wonder about his mental health.
Now, before we get too far ahead of ourselves and commit the leader of the opposition, because it could be the pressure that finally got to him or just the heat, let’s look at this logically.
First, remember, Mr. Davis has been the representative for Cat Island, San Salvador and Rum Cay for the past twenty years. Fifteen of those years the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP] was the government and at least five of those years he [Mr. Davis] served as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Works, so when he says “……he has done what he could for his constituency”, one must look at him with great wonderment.
There are several things being suggested here in this article by the representative for Cat Island, San Salvador and Rum Cay; one of them being that the current state of deterioration of the Cat Island, San Salvador and Rum Cay constituency all began within the last four years; that the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) under the leadership of the Hon. Perry Christie aided in the “abandonment” of his consistency and that Mr. Davis is new to politics with this being his first term serving as an elected official, as he speaks to his “efforts” in using the $100,000 per annum allowance.
We know all of these suggestions to be false and Mr. Davis only seeks to now find a way to be excused and even gain sympathy for his gross neglect and failures as these neglects and failures are constantly being exposed.
The Progressive Liberal Party fails for one reason, it is their nature.
