After facing criticism for his stance against several recent Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) bills in the House of Assembly, Marco City MP Greg Moss said that he is comfortable with his decisions and is prepared to face "whatever ramifications come with them".
However, Moss declared that he still believes in the PLP and supports his leader.
"I am in the PLP because I see the stated ideology of the PLP as being most consistent with my view on how to develop a country," he told The Nassau Guardian in an interview this week.
"Once those two things continue to flow in the right direction then I'm very comfortable being where I am.
"...I think differences are a mark of strength in the political process. I think other people need to get on board. I think we will go down this path, we will finish this path and we will be stronger for it.
"If other people have decisions to make they should make those decisions. I'm comfortable with the decisions I make and I'm comfortable with whatever ramifications come with them."
In the past week, Moss has voiced his opposition to two of the constitutional amendment bills before the House and also said he cannot support the government's value-added tax bill.
Responding to Moss, Prime Minister Perry Christie said in the House this week that there would be "consequences" for Moss' anti-government position.
Asked if he is worried about his political future given Christie's comments, Moss said no.
"Persons should not come in the House and worry about their political future. Persons should come in the House and worry about discharging their duty to the country. I am confident that the Bahamian people should make right judgments about who should represent them," he said.
"I have no concerns whatsoever about my standing in my constituency. Once I run again, I will be elected. And I have no intention whatsoever of not running.
"My interest in coming into politics was to help stabilize our country and help reshape. That task isn't finished. That task has barely started.
"And those who have a challenge with forthrightness, with conviction, with forcefulness... simply have to get used to it."
He said the country is far too distracted by the idea of personal political agendas.
"When you get to the point when you start to make decisions based on how you perceive they will impact your political future you need to get out of politics," he added.
