COALITION+LABOUR
CANDIDATES
The slate of candidates is
comprised of a congenial group of citizen patriots drawn
from the broadest cross-section of the Bahamian society. We
are an accomplished group, from varied and diversified
backgrounds, who have already achieved great success in
their chosen careers.
The ideal Government
should consist, not only of persons with good academic
achievements but should also include persons with business
experience, and with proven managerial ability.
Historically, governments
in the Bahamas have had an overabundance of lawyers. This
narrow focus may well have contributed to failures in the
pragmatic management of the affairs of the country. While
we have no objections to lawyers in Government,
(indeed our slate comprises a few lawyers as well), in
selecting our candidates, we have been able to achieve the
appropriate balance of the various professional
vocations.
With
Coalition+Labour you will find the correct blend of
youth and experience, self-made owners of small and medium
sized businesses, aspiring entrepreneurs, professionals,
trained tradesmen, information technologists, manufacturers,
technologists, educators, taxi and bus drivers, trade
unionists, croupiers, hospitality workers, bankers,
housewives and a host of others. We have employers and yes,
some employees but in every case,each with the will, the
heart and the desire to serve their country and to make a
difference.
We are committed to our
Vision of an Enlarged Bahamas in which the
Family Islands, through a series of initiatives such
as "Institutionalized Island Economies", "Island Rights",
"Expanded Local Governance' and "Land Reform", are
repopulated by Bahamians, who take advantage of these new
opportunities to possess the land and develop their
economies.
We are headed by Dr.
Bernard J. Nottage, Chief Executive Officer of the
Coalition for Democratic Reform, CDR, is Chairman of
the Leadership Conference of Coalition + Labour. A man with
proven and trusted leadership capabilities, he is joined on
the leadership team by Mr. Obie Ferguson Leader of
the People's Labour Movement, PLM, and Mr.
Halson Moultrie, Leader of the Bahamian Freedom
Alliance, BFA.
If you elect this fine
group of candidates, whose members are truly reflective of
the wider Bahamian society, you will have a government made
of persons who understand your needs, who will meet with you
and listen to you, and work along with you to solve your
problems and create a better Bahamas. We will be diligent
and responsive representatives and informed and
proactive parliamentarians. Most importantly, we will be
true servant leaders. Work with us!
