Bahamian Politics

Since its inception the Democratic National Alliance has raised the alarm about the glaring similarities between the PLP and the FNM. Despite their best efforts to appear different, both the Free National Movement and the Progressive Liberal Party are merely two sides of the same coin. Over the past three years in office, the PLP has consistently proven that its only interest is in the furtherance of personal agendas and not about the future development of this country for the betterment of all.

Thankfully though, Bahamians across the length and breadth of this country are beginning to see through the smoke and mirrors of 40 years of party politics and slowly but surely the wall of political ties built by both parties is crumbling. There is no God given right for only the PLP or the FNM to govern this country known as the Commonwealth of the Bahamas!

Even those from within the PLP’s own ranks are openly expressing their dissatisfaction with the obvious lack of vision displayed by the party’s leadership. After months of taking a public position against his party, Marco City MP Greg Moss announced yesterday that he is resigning as a member of the PLP, citing poor leadership as a key factor in that decision.

Moss was one of several new faces recruited by the PLP during the last general election campaign as they sought to sway younger voters. Calling persons like Moss, the bridge to the future, this Christie administration promised the kind of leadership that younger generations of Bahamians could look to for hope of a better and brighter Bahamas. Those promises, like many others made by this PLP government however, have proven to be nothing but hollow, empty words.

In the face of such a betrayal, the Democratic National Alliance commends Mr. Gregory Moss for having the courage to follow his conscience on this issue. His decision to leave the PLP party is a demonstration of his commitment to people of this country rather than allegiance to the party line. It is indeed anticipated that those other younger members within the PLP party will soon muster the courage and follow suit and we look forward to extending similar congratulatory sentiments.
