Dear Editor,
Generally when a new government gets elected it seeks to ingratiate itself to the electorate by keeping campaign promises. This current government has consistently sought to outdo itself by frustrating, ignoring and neglecting the very people who voted them in.
The government of the day does not seem to understand that they are not presently in power because all of those who voted did so for them, but rather because many frustrated voters cast their votes against the last FNM government.
Never have I heard so many disappointed with the way they marked their Xs. It is these very voters that the government continues to insult the intelligence of, under-represent and underserve.
It will be these very voters who will deflate their mammoth egos and send their jet-set lives into a tailspin. I daresay that the governance we have witnessed has put a permanent blight on the once respectable political careers of many in the upper echelon of the PLP leadership.
The only problem Bahamians who love this country have is that we cannot immediately end the hopeless quagmire of incompetence, scandal and debt that results from living under this present government. In my opinion, Bahamians are ready to choose political novices over what is presently being offered to us.
Our politicians ought not be oblivious to the fact that the memories of Bahamians are not as short as they were once thought to be.
