Senator Lisa Bostwick-Dean noted that while she understands the current situation with the Minnis administration, she remains deeply concerned.
“Of course, as a woman, I am concerned about the lack of a female presence at Cabinet, deeply concerned, and I hope it is a matter that can be addressed,” Bostwick-Dean said, as she debunked rumors that she would receive the FNM (Free National Movement) nomination for the Seabreeze constituency.
“But I do understand the challenges with that decision as there are not many women in the lower house and indeed there is no room for someone in this House to become a seated Cabinet minister.
Misreading the tea leaves
Dear Editor,
What do the Democratic National Alliance (DNA), The People’s Movement, Bahamas National Coalition Party, Bahamas Democratic Movement, Bahamas Constitution Party, Vanguard Nationalist and Socialist Party, Workers’ Party and the Coalition for Democratic Reform all have in common?
They’re all fringe political parties that have all failed miserably to make a significant difference on the political landscape of The Bahamas, unlike the Free National Movement (FNM) and the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) the two political dinosaurs that have staying power, like the Democratic Party and Republican Party in the United States.
With the political pendulum swinging between the FNM and PLP each election cycle since 1997, this has reinforced the age-old consensus that The Bahamas is a two-party state.
