“PLP a govt. of PR, former PM says – Ingraham say govt. avoiding touch decisions” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Although it is enjoying positive reviews by Bahamians so far, the Davis administration has been mainly focused on good public relations since coming to office last September, former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham said.

Aside from reducing value-added tax (VAT) from 12 percent to 10 percent, the administration has not done anything major and has been reluctant to make any decisions it sees as controversial, including whether to raise the National Insurance Board (NIB) contribution rate he said.

‘They have, since they have been in office, put on a first-class show on public relations,’ said Ingraham who a guest on the Guardian Talk Radio Show ‘Z Live: Off the record with Zhivago Laing on Friday.

‘I envy them.  I could never produce such a show when I was in office. The public is very happy that the FNM government is gone because they really wanted the FNM out.’

‘So the public is willing to excuse many things that the present government is doing because they are happy to say, ‘Well, at least ain’t there now.”

But as time goes on, they will be judged by the public as we all have been up to now.”

This was the former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham addressing the performance of the New day Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) amongst other things last Friday but being a person that must have the last say; even if it makes NO sense, as it usually does, Fred Mitchell, as Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) made his contribution.

“Mitchell: Hard decisions taken in PLP’s first year in” – The Nassau Guardian

“Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Chairman Fred Mitchell yesterday defended the Davis administration after former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham accused the government of mainly being focused on good public relations since coming to office.

He thanked the former prime minister for “his general support” of the PLP’s first year in office. “His praise for our work accords with the generally good reviews that the administration is getting across the country,” Mitchell said when reached for comment.

“Good public relations is another way of saying that the PLP is doing a good job letting the public know what we are doing. We are of course tackling some complex issues and in time we will tick all the boxes.

“Good Public relations is NOT another way of saying “that the PLP is doing a good job”.

The statement above by the Hon. Hubert Ingraham and the subsequent, weak and pitiful attempt at a reply proves two things that I had predicted going onto the last election, given that the Progressive Liberal Party led by Philip ‘Brave’ Davis had won, which they did.  These two things were one; that Mr. Davis was too weak to be prime minister and two; that Frederick A. Mitchell is far past his political prime and can only now manage to ramble on with utter nonsense which makes sense to him, the voices in his head that tells him that he can still be prime minister and the fervently loyal PLP supporters that still believe that the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) as a government has never, ever done anything wrong and should therefore not be accountable to anyone one for anything – this in itself is nonsensical but there are persons out there that actually do still think this way.

At no time did the former prime minister suggest “that the PLP is doing a good job”, but in the mind of the chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party that seeks to cling onto any and everything to save this sinking ‘ship’ that has been overturned by its very own ‘wave’, there is a desperate attempt to mislead that public – the PLP way.

The Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) fails for one reason, it is their nature.
