Sometimes politics are better in Bermuda
This is from a story in the local paper about a meeting that the United Bermuda Party (UBP) held the other day. Keep in mind that the UBP is a legit political party in Bermuda. They are the Opposition, who only lost power in 1998 after holding it for about 30 years, and most recently lost in the 2003 General Election:
If the United Bermuda Party is to win the next General Election it needs to get its message out, stating clearly where it stands on issues that range from smaller details such grocery and Belco bills, to the GPS system for taxis, mortgage rates, housing, education and job opportunities.
And its MPs, officers and members need to reach out and mingle with parts of the community who have never come in contact with UBP people, doing so by moving out of the familiar surroundings of Chancery Lane wine bars to places such as Hubie's Bar on Angle Street.
Those were messages delivered by audience members at a meeting of the Party's Southampton Region attended by new leader Wayne Furbert and Shadow Ministers Jon Brunson and David Dodwell this week.
Obviously they shouldn't let Hubie attend these meetings unless he's going to give some real constructive suggestions!
Seriously, this would be the equivalent of a report about American politics starting:
If the Democratic Party is to win in the midterm elections it needs to get its message out, stating clearly where it stands on issues such as the economy and the war on terror.
And its candidates and members need to reach out and mingle with parts of the community who have never come in contact with Democrats, doing so by moving out of the familiar surroundings of their northeastern wine bars to the dive bars of the Heartland.
Clearly, the main reason that I didn't vote for Kerry (besidesthefactthatI'mnotAmerican) is because I never bumped into him at the Ale House, that elitist prick.
