Larry Burchall presents important facts to help you decide how to vote on December 17.

Premier has a clear-cut plan to move our island forward

Christopher Famous: Ms Cox laid out a clear, 10-point road plan of where the PLP and all the people of Bermuda must direct our collective energies.

Cabbies: are you ready to be taken for another ride?

Bryant Trew: Taxi drivers and their families must surely have sucked their teeth when they learned of Government’s recent pledge not to make GPS mandatory “for now”.

Young Bermudians face a grim future unless things change

Can you really trust the OBA on FutureCare?

Zane De Silva: Our seniors are the pillars of Bermuda, the ones who have built our country and who, in their golden years, we at The Progressive Labour Party have always kept in our thoughts and in our vision for Bermuda.

I'll vote PLP because it represents equality

Renee Webb: The PLP has it flaws; we all do. The question is, 'does its failings, its mistakes, its imperfections wipe out all of the good, all of the great things that that it has done?' I believe that it does not, and it should not.

Term limits are in place to put us Bermudians first

Christopher Famous: The term limits issue is the modern day Snakes and Ladders game and perhaps is one of the central planks of this election.

It's time for integrity and accountability: vote OBA

Bryant Trew: The PLP's primary tactic has been to instil fear and claim that the OBA is the same old UBP. But if everything UBP is such a bad thing, then why is the PLP so accepting of UBP MPs who have crossed the floor?
