Dear Editor,
Some are suggesting that former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham is still in control of the Free National Movement. That is a possibility.
This would give reason for some to proclaim that a vote for the FNM in the next election is really a vote for Ingraham, who is in retirement and has no plans to run; but with the present state of the economy, it would not be a bad idea.
At the same time, the scenario of a 74-year-old sitting prime minister running against a younger, retired person is very amusing if not funny.
While I am in the speculation mode, I would like to address what is going to be a trying situation for another political party that is sure to contend the next election. A connection has been made between the law firm of that party's leader and the $600 million Stellar Waste to Energy project, a fiasco that has brought about the resignation of what was one of the Progressive Liberal Party's up and coming leaders.
Are there some who are going to claim that the law firm in question may have had dealings with the governing party over this matter that were uncomfortably close in the eyes of its own supporters?
The revelation could even lead some to say that a vote for that other party is really a vote for the Progressive Liberal Party, for all intents and purposes.
If such blatant speculations continue, many who currently aspire to leadership are going to find themselves floundering in the political wasteland come 2017.
