Response to the OBA’s Comments on Fairness:

The Only Thing the OBA Has Gotten Right

The only thing the OBA has gotten right is that this election is about who will build a fairer Bermuda for Bermudians.

We know the OBA's record on women and its policies that widen the gap between the have-mores and the rest of us.


The OBA’s Record:

  • The OBA spent millions on a boat race for the wealthy, while cutting scholarships, school budgets, and childcare.
  • The OBA voted against freezing health insurance premiums.
  • The OBA told our seniors money doesn’t grow on trees.
  • The OBA spoke against the minimum wage.
  • The OBA sold off our airport in a bad deal that cost 50 million dollars in minimum revenue guarantees.

Ignoring the Realities of the Cost of Living

The OBA can put their head in the sand and try to pretend that things are great everywhere outside of Bermuda, but they should call their friends and family overseas. The cost of living issue is a global one. And, it was their candidate in C36, Carl Neblett, that said he had "no idea" how to address the cost of living situation.


The PLP’s Actions for Bermudians

Meanwhile, the PLP has:

  • Reduced taxes for 86% of workers.
  • Frozen fuel prices.
  • Increased pensions by the rate of inflation.
  • Expanded childcare assistance.
  • Cut energy taxes by 60%.
  • Laid out plans to provide more relief to Bermudian families.

A Call for Real Solutions

Maybe instead of just attacking the PLP, the OBA should go back to the drawing board and offer more than just a flimsy pamphlet to the Bermudian public.
