OPINION

ELECTION ‘07 / SATIRE

What we know: UBP's not always united, PLP's not progressive

Now we have an election date and the campaign is in full swing, it's finally our turn.

Will you get the leader you vote for? Probably not

I can tell you right now that you don't know who you're voting for. You only think you do.

Blacks feel inferior? Speak for yourself, Dr. Hodgson

'In all my time on top of this earth...I have learned that there is right, there is wrong. There is good, there is bad. And no one group is inherently anything forever.'

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Is the UBP an old or a new party? Either way, it's not the right option

A reader writes

ELECTION '07 / DON'T BELIEVE THE HATE-FILLED HYPE

The lie at the heart of the PLP's campaign

No matter which way you plan to vote this year, I urge you not to believe or even tolerate the destructive lie that is at the heart to this year's PLP election campaign.

ELECTION ‘07 / FLAWED LEADERSHIP

Premier can't be shielded from his critics forever

PLP defenders Cal Smith and Julian Hall are lashing out at any criticism of Dr. Brown.

Why progressive minds will vote UBP

I want my government to be open and accessible. I want Bermuda's opportunities to be open and accessible too, to all Bermudians. I want to live on an island where whites and blacks are equal, and treat each other fairly and with respect.

ELECTION '07 / THE LEADERS' PERSPECTIVES

We will move Bermuda forward

On the eve of an historic general election, I am truly excited, about the prospect of a Progressive Labour Party victory at the polls, on December 18.

ELECTION '07 / THE LEADERS' PERSPECTIVES

We will put people first

When the United Bermuda Party was voted out of office 1998, it was a big disappointment for the party. But looking back, it was the right decision for Bermuda.

Compromise, cooperate, copulate - a formula we need to keep to

About 1,600 days ago there was another election with the same result as this one - 22 to 14. Since then there has been an equal number of sunrises and sunsets. The sun's unchanging ways are not matched by human fortunes.

With the election over, let's be individuals again

I must admit that, when it comes to politics, too much solidarity gives me the creeps.

Who is left to keep our leaders in check?

The PLP successfully dismissed its critics over the last year, but it did more than that: It completely trashed them.

Born into segregation, but I got the last laugh

While canvassing in Paget West I had the opportunity to talk to a white voter of Scottish descent whose only concern about the state of the country was the current discussion of race and privilege in Bermuda.

The key role of blacks in curtailing discrimination

My last column, in Wednesday's Bermuda Sun, looked at how segregation began for me at birth, at a time when the white babies and the black babies at the hospital were separated by race.

Farewell Bermuda and thanks for your trust

It's Friday night. I've just got home after having a few drinks after work at the Leopard's Club, home of the best fish supper in Bermuda.
