Collective responsibility is dead

| More

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

What do we have today?

The Premier saying that open space is sacrosant and that he'll "do everything [he] can to prevent the hospital being built on the Botanical Gardens."

Say what?

His Cabinet put that idea forward through his Health Minister.

You've got Ewart Brown either ignorant or feigning ignorance on the hospital plans in his 'vision' statement. While I agree with him on how it needs to be handled he clearly doesn't know what was included in the BHB Master Plan and was (presumably) a part of Cabinet's decision in that regard.

You've got two Cabinet Ministers openly campaigning against their Premier, without either resigning their portfolios, or being fired.

Collective responsibility is officially dead in Bermuda.

Bermuda can't afford this type of self-indulgent, divided and directionless Government any longer.

UBP leader Wayne Furbert is right; whatever the outcome in tonight's PLP leadership vote the party will remain divided. The divide is simply too great.
