With all the focus on the Regiment lately, but more specifically conscription, it got me thinking about public service, but more specifically political service in Bermuda.
I can think of many Bermudians who are not involved in politics but whose character and skill sets would make a positive difference in what is currently a rather lacklustre Parliamentary lineup. Bermuda's Parliament, and politics in general remain dominated by a generation that has been at this for a long time.
When I look at the split in the UBP, and the more muted but clearly present divisions in the PLP, I see more of a generational break than an ideological one. Many people who are involved no longer want to do things the 1960s way.
So my question is:
If you could draft someone (or someones) into Bermuda politics, who would it be and why? (Bermudians only please.)
Shoot me an email with your thoughts and I'll post some of the feedback.
