PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL PARTY (PLP) CHEAP HANDOUTS AND FREE TINGS CAN’T BE YOUR FUTURE!!
Tricks from the old playbook don’t pave roads, don’t fix light bills, and don’t make the streets safe.
Let’s keep it real my fellow Bahamians, every five years the same drama plays out: a light bill money here, an envelope there, a half bag of groceries like we just had a hurricane. Cheap T-shirts off a container, motorcades, bouncing castles, flatbeds and speakers blasting music …road parties and free rum etc. etc.. Big posters, big music, big talk. And too many of us still fall for it! Are we conchs for real?
But after the music stops, what really changes? The potholes still mash up your car’s front end. The light bill still sky high. Crime still got your scared!!
THE NAMES AND THE GAMES
We know how it go:
🦀 Fred Mitchell in Fox Hill – liquor money flowing, the park jumping, big fun weeks before election. Happens every time without fail. The vibes sweet, but ask yourself: what does Fox Hill really get out of it?
🦀 Pia Glover-Rolle in Golden Gates – she once handed out a “care package” with a can of peas, a bag of rice, a tomato paste, and one onion. That’s not empowerment, that’s insult.
🦀 Lisa Rahming in Marathon – motorcades, block parties, pictures with she and Brave plastered on stop signs all year round. Who needs to see Lisa that much? We need results, not roadshows.
🦀 Leslia Miller-Brice in Sea Breeze – oh Lord!!! She’ll clear one strip of bush, plant a sign in the middle like it’s development. Or throw up billboards telling you “drive safe.” That’s not governance, that’s propaganda.
🦀 Philip “Brave” Davis – plenty promises, plenty talk, plenty T-shirts stuffed with “something folded inside.” But what’s really different about Cat Island, Rum Cay, and San Salvador compared to ten years ago? Bahamians have to be buried same day because there’s no morgue!
🦀 Chester Cooper in Exuma – big food drives and “relief days” with cameras rolling. Groceries go quick. The issues stay. But we all know he ain really no Real PLP!
🦀 Wayne Munroe in Freetown, Keith Bell in Carmichael, Glenys Hanna-Martin in Englerston, and JoBeth Coleby-Davis in Elizabeth – all masters of the “community day” and the sudden giveaways when the calendar turns — in constituencies that have been among the most run down for years.
And the random tricks? Free gas vouchers. Back-to-school bags. Ice and water giveaways. Turkeys at Christmas. “Fun days” with bouncing castles and hot dogs. Straight from the old playbook—distracting, sugar coating four years of silence with one day of spectacle.
It’s smoke, it’s mirrors, it’s bad psychology. They want you to believe activity is achievement.
THE CAR WASH TEST
Tell me something, when you pay somebody to wash your car, you don’t just hand over money and bounce. You walk around that car two, three times. You check the hood, mirrors, bumper. You open the doors, check the mats and cup holders. If you see a spot, you say: “Boss, you missed this — do it again.”
Same with your yard. You don’t pay just because the grass look short from the road. You check the corners, behind the trees, along the fence line. If the job ain’t done, you don’t pretend it is.
Why? Because you paid for a service. You are the boss!
That’s exactly how your vote works. It’s not a gift. It’s a contract for service. You are the employer. They are the workers. They don’t get to tell you what you must accept. You set the standard. And when they don’t perform? You fire them.
Stop hiring these clowns on slack! They already know how to make you forget long enough to reef ya vote!
🔥 RESPECT VS. HANDOUTS
Bahamians deserve respect, not scrapings. Not bags of groceries like homeless people lined up at a soup kitchen. Respect means value—real policies, real progress, real results that outlive election day.
🔥 The Free National Movement respects Bahamians and will not sell you cheap.
🔥 Under the leadership of Michael Pintard, you will not be treated like a commoner waiting for royalty to pass by—you will be recognized as the rightful owners of this country, with leaders who answer to you.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO BETTER!!!
For the love of God, stop falling for the light vibes. Stop selling four years of your life for four onions and a tin of peas. Stop trading your children’s future for a T-shirt and a slow $200 roll up.
Look at where the PLP goons lived before election and look where they always end up! Big houses, gated yards. Then look at your own street. Don’t you want a slice of the pie too? Don’t your children deserve more than handouts every election season?
We are not props. We are not slaves. We are the employers. They are the hired help. Hire on merit. Fire on failure. Demand receipts, results, and respect.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Cheap handouts, parties and free tings is not a future. A bag of rice is not a plan. A T-shirt is not policy. A motorcade is not progress.
Inspect the work. Vote your road, your bill, your safety, your children’s tomorrow—not the trinket in your hand tonight.
Because at the end of the day, we are their bosses—and bosses don’t settle for half-done jobs.
