The PLP's not so secret austerity plan - Politics.bm
http://www.politics.bm/archives/2012/10/the-plps-not-so.html
The PLP's not so secret austerity plan. Larry Burchall has demonstrated, through indisputable math. That while the PLP are claiming to reject austerity, that they are in fact cutting back on government spending, ie. austerity measures. However, where Larry is not quite correct, is that this is a secret, unannounced. The PLP are on record as being pro-austerity, as far back as January 2010 when a Cabinet memo was circulated to the Civil Service ordering ' austere cost savings. October 10, 2012.

Feelings vs Facts - Politics.bm
http://www.politics.bm/archives/2013/02/feelings-vs-fac.html
I spent 3 hours tonight at the term limits public forum and came away with the clear conclusion that the room (and presumably the island) are divided into two camps on this issue: Feelings vs Facts. Both sides were talking at cross purposes. Michael Fahy and the OBA took a lot of flak that was really the PLP's to own if we're honest. There was a lot of anger about Bermudians not getting jobs they were qualified for over non-Bermudians. Easy to say sitting in the audience and not on the hot seat, but that...

Role reversals - Politics.bm
http://www.politics.bm/archives/2012/12/role-reversals.html
There's a few interesting role reversals going on in this campaign versus 2007. Amid all the PLP's chest thumping about televised debates and a party leader debate, it's worth noting that in 2007 the PLP rejected a televised debate. So, in 2012, it's the PLP professing to want debates, which indicates that they think they're losing. I'd also point out that Paula Cox has been keeping an extremely low profile during this campaign, as Ewart Brown did in 2007. That suggests that like her predecessor the ...

Boo! - Politics.bm
http://www.politics.bm/archives/2012/11/boo.html
You are the only people left in Bermuda who care about the UBP. As hard as you try, a defunct political party that presided over surplus employment, low debt and budget surpluses just isn't that scary anymore. What can they do to people? Introduce massive unemployment and unsustainable debt? Bermuda's problems aren't in the past. They are our present and future. When you want to talk seriously about that let us know.
