Taking our country back
In the annals of contemporary Bahamian political history, this past week will perhaps be recorded as the start of the campaign for the general elections of 2017. In a very real sense, the American bug of the perpetual campaign has infected our local politics, although the jury is still out as to whether or not that is a positive development.
