Bahamas B2B: Elizabeth Lessons

by Nicolette Bethel on February 18, 2010

There at least three important lessons to be learned from the Elizabeth by-election.

  1. Bahamian voters are fed up with “politics as usual”.
    • Voter turnout for the by-election was around 64%, low for The Bahamas, where the usual turnout is over 90%.
  2. Independent candidates are now a formidable force in Bahamian politics.
  3. The governing FNM party will not coast to a victory in 2012.

Nico, I am out of the country, and couldn’t taste the vibes from DC. How do you arrive at your second and third conclusions?

Not mine, B2B’s. I’m going to write my own article on this (maybe, if I have the patience) later.
