Bahamas B2B: Elizabeth Lessons

in ,

There at least three important lessons to be learned from the Elizabeth by-election.

  1. Bahamian voters are fed up with "politics as usual".
    • Voter turnout for the by-election was around 64%, low for The Bahamas, where the usual turnout is over 90%.
  2. Independent candidates are now a formidable force in Bahamian politics.
  3. The governing FNM party will not coast to a victory in 2012.
