Moses crowned PPM deputy
(CNS): The PPM declared Moses Kirkconnell the party's new deputy leader and the first ever official deputy leader of the opposition. Alden McLaughlin, the opposition leader, said Wednesday that the crowning of Kirkconnell was an indication of the “Progressives” advanced state of readiness ahead of the 2013 General Election and its preparations for government. McLaughlin said the announcement was the first of many that would see the party lay out its election team and the leadership that would, if the PPM is successful, form the next government.

With Kirkconnell now sworn in at the governor’s office in this key role, the opposition leader said he was increasingly confident of the Progressives ability to give the country the kind of government it needed. “I’m honoured and very privileged to have him take up this position,” McLaughlin stated, as he pointed to the post's creation under the 2009 constitution.
“I believe we complement each other very well and have worked together since 2005,” he added, explaining that while his new deputy had not run on the PPM ticket that year, he had formally joined the government the day after the election. McLaughlin said they knew each other’s strengths and understood one another well, along with what needed to be done to lead the PPM to victory at the next election and return a credible and transparent government to office.
McLaughlin said that Kirkconnell, who was returned as the first elected member for Cayman Brac and Little Cayman at the last election, was already well supported on the Sister Islands but his reputation extended to Grand Cayman as well, since most people knew who he was and what he stood for. Seen as the business specialist in the party, McLaughlin said that Kirkconnell had concerns about the growing social problems in the community as well.
Kirkconnell said he was looking forward to working with the leader and conscious of the confidence that had been placed in him by his party colleagues. He pointed to the need for unity in the face of the continuing global economic problems and said everyone had their part to play, be it in opposition or government, in working to make Cayman a better place. He said that as time moved towards the elections, the country would be more and more pleased with the people chosen by the PPM as candidates and the direction the Progressives wanted to take the country.
Asked about his position on business issues and the ForCayman Investment Alliance, he said the party could not take a policy position until it saw more details of the project proposals. However, he said, the country needed infrastructure and there was a need to strengthen tourism. When it came to the financial sector, he said Cayman had to be 'best in class' but there was a need for diversification and new economic drivers. A supporter of the Dr Devi Shetty hospital, Kirkconnell also spoke about e-commerce and increasing efficiency.
Speaking about other developments in the party, McLaughlin pointed to the importance of setting out the team ahead of the election so that voters knew exactly who would be in government if they voted for the PPM. He said that swearing Kirkconnell in as the deputy was part of that process. The next step would be the district selections of candidates, and then the party would have a general counsel meeting in February ahead of the official election campaign launch.
“People will know in advance of the election who the leaders are if we get elected,” he said, adding that it was important to move away from the chaos and horse-trading of the past that occurred the day after the election. The PPM was now, he said, ready for the campaign.
“Over the past 18 to 20 months since I was sworn in as leader of the Progressives, we have had a challenging time reinvigorating the party, but we have done a lot of work and are now at an advanced state of readiness as far as the election campaign is concerned,” McLaughlin added.
Although it had not been easy and despite the obvious challenges in the last few months, the party had emerged strengthened and in a much better place. The opposition leader said he was confident the PPM could return to government with enlightened polices and competent honest candidates.
He revealed that the PPM would field a full slate of candidates in the districts of West Bay, Bodden Town and George Town. The new deputy would remain the single PPM representative running in Cayman Brac, and as the opposition party still has a good working relationship with its former member, Arden McLean, and the independent candidate, Ezzard Miller, they would not field any PPM candidates against either men in East End or North Side.
The opposition leader said Osbourne Bodden had confirmed his interest in running in Bodden Town again and new faces, Wayne Panton and Al Suckoo would, with party approval, join him and PPM veteran Anthony Eden on the PPM ticket for what is likely to be a crucial district in the 2013 election.
Meanwhile, in George Town he and Kurt Tibbetts would be joined by former MLA Lucille Seymour, and a new political face, Kenneth Bryan, had also expressed his interest in running in the capital as a Progressive candidate. Woody DaCosta has confirmed his wish to join the Progressives in a bid to represent the people of West Bay and McLaughlin said further candidates for both that district and George Town would be announced over the coming weeks.

I agree that we need new blood but regardless of who leads Cayman for the next 4 years, if we do not get new investment or the planned projects do not go ahead, we will be in for a rough time. Please do not scrap a project for political gain without looking at its merits and if you must scrap it, please have something else in place besides a blank look when asked.
There are heaps of socio-economic problems in Cayman and until they are addressed or Jesus comes, we are headed downhill. We need greater incentives for small businesses who produce niche products or have annual revenues less than 50K especially when agriculturally based. The whole renewable energy market needs to be flipped on its head. Its needs to stop being about who you know and be about about what you can do. We need to address the petty crimes that plague our society, a young man gets a criminal record for what the US and UK considers a misdemeanor and has his future potential reduced to being a janitor.
Serious problems that every politician since before I was born only talk about in hushed corners because they dont want to upset the hierachy. The UK and US have addressed them but we are left behind. Address them and you will not only win the election, but will do good for Cayman. We need innovation and growth.
One last thing. Moses needs to let out that jacket's sleeves, they are about a inch or two too short.
C$C party time in Cayman Brac this weekend
Look@ what juju did her grand mother, took her from her house & said she’s going to rebuild it & then sold it to her brother & left her in the old people home !
We don’t want someone like her running c-brac
Braca
As the PPM is a democratic party that espouses its open and transparent process, was Moses voted into the position or was he selected by Alden? He must have been selected to be crowned into that position as the party hasn't met to finalize their position on the issues.
PPM good choice for deputy, and some exciting new young candidates like Al Suckoo, Wayne Panton, KB (the Austinator), Woody, and more to come with experienced and HONEST leadership of KT, Al, Oz, Mr Tony, and Ms Lou…..and once Ezzard and Arden realize C4C is using them to gander support they to will be on the Red Bus to the LA in the last week of May…..but C4C there is two seats for Jude and Roy if they want to really want to put Country First and work with the PPM to rebuild our country……XXXX
Moses is a good choice. He is a man of integrity and business acumen.
Lets hope that when PPM return to office he will get a Ministerial post.
Agree. A famous quote goes something like this: "you want something done, give it to a busy person." Mr. Moses is a busy man, and he's also someone who gets things done. We need a sound business sense (finally!) in the LA.
Integrity and work ethic goes a long way with me. Not to put too much pressure on you Mose, but many of us have known for a long time that the reins of the country's cart would be best held in your capable hands.
PPM supporters coming out of their holes,looks like they're trying to jump start and come alive again,sorry PPM but you all are not going anywhere,Caymanians are afraid to give you all another chance,sorry but once bitten twice shy, good bye to the PPM and the UDP.See Ya

Sooooooooooo, is Ozzie going to use his Bull Penis on the Bodden Town Voters to make them vote for him??????????????
Maybe that would keep UDP in line….nothing else seems to work.
no just the criminals who need a good assing
Some of you idle wasters need to get some ambition and you wouldn't need a BP on your axx.
If Moses and PPM support Shetty deal too, it’s same old same old
How can anyone support Shetty deal??
Read this- https://sites.google.com/site/cppicayman/the-shetty-mou
Shetty has been given a 100yr monopoly on medical tourism – that is not good for Cayman
Mr. Moses cares about people and their families. He has always been there to help me.
Any politician who spends his time helping people at an individual level makes me nervous ……
Have you ever thought about trying to help yourself?????
Almost everyone — at some point in their lives — needs a hand up. Who are you to judge what the poster you responded to has been through?
I'll tell you one major difference (and there are many) between Mr. Moses and Miss Juliana……….. Moses is accessible. If he is on the Brac, everyone there knows where to find him, and can talk with him if they need to. That's the kind of representative I want.
Really now! Is the PPM not opposed to moving the GT dump to Bodden Town, not opposed to giving away a portion of WB Road? Come now, what further "details" do you need Messers Moses and Alden, to take a position on such critical national issues? Quite frankly, if you're unable to take a clear position on this — the so-called "ForCayman Investment Alliance" deal — you're clearly unable to govern our country. Is the PPM opposed to these senseless plans, yes or no; and will you commit to cancelling these plans if elected? The people have a right to know!
It is time for the PPM to open their mauths wide and let the people know where they stand on the issues that plague these islands. Let the UDP know they are not going to give away out inheritance that our forefathers had the foresight to secure for us and generations to come.
direct rule anybody????
Now at least the PPM will have a party leader after the election. I think Alden sees the writing on the wall.
Moses gave the brac more in one term than juju gave in her four terms=(18 years)! I could count what she did on one hands for four terms=18 years! Is that a person who we want in again? No! I would rather vote for Maxine or Percy!
Braca
“Advanced state of readiness” LOL real jokers. What has the ppm been doing since 2009? Alden helped to cause some of issues especially fincial but still not offering any solutions or trying to help the country get out of a mess they helped to create. Too little too late again
What has the PPM been doing since 2009? keeping the country from going under. How can Alden offer any solutions or help the country get out of the mess when the leaders in the UDP do not listen? Do yourself a favour and try suggesting to the UDP an alternative to anything besides big business, the selling of governent assets, big building investments and further growth of the financial industry in these islands and see what will happen. Suggest controlled development, incentives for small business, eco tourism, preservation of the wetlands and lands for future generations of Caymanians, sustainable farming to supply our basic needs, solar energy, the need for a proper trade school on island. Thanks heaven for the PPM and Arden because of them we don't have to spend what seemed like days in traffic going to and from the eastern district (remember?), the overcrowding at schools, thank you Alden for the Clifton Hunter High School and thank you Kurt for the wonderful new Government Administration Building (thanks to Chuckie that it was not sold to the "Dart" and rented to us so that the UDP could pay for junket trips). Although expensive and of quality the country got more from the PPM administration that what we have gotten from the UDP so far. Don't let me get started on political corruption and the literal giving away of the country to the highest bidder with very few benefits to middle or lower income Caymanians.
Considering I have been fortunate to recently receive my Caymanian Status, which I have been waiting for several years now. I have watched keenly from the shadows the political climate of these wonderful Cayman Islands because it will definitely affect my new permanent home.
So when I read such outlandish statements as the above post, it makes it clear why our Cayman Islands has arrived at this rather unfortunate place in its history; The islands’ Premier under three (3) Police Investigations, a Minister being caught drink driving and perjuring himself in the Court of Law with three separate and distinct stories, only to come clean and confess his guilt which wasted valuable Court time and the country’s limited resources, a Backbencher and his cohort(s) jumping an individual at a local Hotel of all places in a gangland style beat-down, and being brought before the Court for assault charges. These are just some of the gravely embarrassing acts that have transpired over the course of the UDP’s administration that all of us have to bear.
Yet, the PPM endeavoured to offer solutions to mitigate reputational damage only to be laughed at and VOTED down in Parliament. I have noted the PPM on many occasions, warning and bringing attention to issues that in any other country in the world would result in immediate rejection from Parliament of the current Government. They presented Order Papers that either have been rejected and or ignored by the UDP Government. So to make such shallow ignorant statements as to “what has the PPM been doing since 2009” is alarming. Had the Author took the time to read the comprehensive Miller/Shaw Report prior to posting, he/she would not have penned “Alden helped to cause some of issues especially fincial but still not offering any solutions or trying to help the country get out of a mess they helped to create” . they would have realized that the UDP government have wasted our valuable tax dollars and the financial issues started at least a decade before. The Cayman Islands have been taxed more over this UDP administration than ever before in its history resulting in record breaking revenue, only to squander it instead of paying off debt and curbing expenses. Yet no statement to that effect?!!!
It is sad to note that Post like this, appears to represent the majority of the voting public, after all as the old saying goes, the people elect the Government they want and deserve. This voting bloc appears to operate primarily on hearsay and with very little credible knowledge. Maybe it's a small town /island thing, but if we are going to come out of this deepening pit we are now in, this type of reasoning must stop immediately.
Life is not fair, but once in awhile you have to give credit where credit is due. Based on that, my friends and I have decided that we are voting in our first Cayman Islands Election in 2013 for a government that is organized, credible and have reasonable and achievable goals and the PPM is the only choice.
Moses should be the leader at least we allknow he will be re-elected if Kurt does not not run Alden has no chance at being re-elected in GT
I believe Moses is a good man.
I listened carefully to his response at the "crowning". Some of what he said, and this may not be verbatim……….it's time for us to get together to make Cayman a better place, and stop running down down each other, the name calling etc. etc., is a far cry from either of the two parties.
Kurt is running and because the PPM actually is a democratic party, Moses could be elected leader. This is not a one-man show like the so-called United Democratic Party who are neither united, democratic or operating as a real party.
too little too late for the ppm…….. as bad an opposition as the udp are as a government…..
Mr. Moses should have been leader from day one. I wished he was based though on Grand Cayman, but happy for the Brac.
I want nothiing to do with C4C. A little to close of initials for a previous PPM power hungry minister of tourism and he's now on that bandwagon. No one else will get a word in.
You must be joking, nothing the PPM may or may not have done (in your opinion) can match the level of corruption ofthe UDP.
Congrats Moses! It is refreshing to see PPM putting together an effective executive management team.
I was hoping Moses would be the next to leave the PPM and return to being and independent. I am disappointed that he chose to stay with that bunch of looney tunes!
Sorry PPM, UDP and C4C, we need people who can stand for themselves and not be handled by others and that s why, on principle I won't vote for any that these parties put up.
He is best choice in Cayman Brac! On the other hand juju only look out for her direct family, NO ONE ELSE! !
Braca
Must be close close family too, just have to look on her grand Uncles house that is practically destroyed by the Paloma and right opposite from the famous Watering Place Park. That was the only house in Watering Place that did not get any attention. Votes matters and not family.
That house across the wp park is now own by her grand uncle daughter! Look at after hurricane poloma
Ppm sent up supplies & the supplies was met by her family at the airport! juju & her direct family members They got the best & the scraps was handed out after her family got!
5th generation Braca
Family Feud
Her Grand Uncle is dead and the house was always a piece of crp!!!! Not that $ wasn't probably put away somewhere safely in the Church offering for Paloma repairs LMAO
Maybe that property wasn't up for grabs to make a big profit off of.
But isn't everyone related over there?
Yup
No, she's no relation to me. Thank God.
So Alden, you have chosen your successor? Knowing both of you,I would rather see Bush get back in and it pains me to say it. How does the song go…"pure unadulterated bureacracy…?"
Of course you would – more free tings for you while they drag the country down. You are the kind of idiot that is destroying this country.
…….said the greedy pig at the trough.
The more things change in "Cayman" the more they remain the same. I wish that things will change for the better in 2013 but I fear they will not as long as some people still have the opportunity to vote and other are denied like the many expats and resident population who will definately vote for meaninful change. We want first world leaders and not the third world representation that we have been receiving. Until all Caymanians (native or not) have the opportunity to hold office in these islands things will basically remain the same. I do not understand why Caymanians are so afraid of change in the style of governance. We change laws for development within our immigration and every other area where we think it will enhance our bottom line in dollars and cents, yet when it comes to social changes and political development we are so backwards. There are so many people who have live here for many years and are very good citizens and have the islands best interest at heart who would do an excellent job as members of the LA but we do not want then there because we are soafraid of social changes that would benefit all Caymanians not just the rich but the middle class and poor as well.
If there are "so many people who have live here for many years and are very good citizens and have the islands best interest at heart who would do an excellent job as members of the LA" then they should take the necessary steps to qualify as MLAs and run for office. End of story. It is a question of loyalties. If you cannot bear the thought of becoming naturalised as a BOTC – Cayman or giving up your other citizenships then you cannot be trusted to act in our best interest.
The bottom line is that Caymanians have seen the way that they are treated in the workplace by expats and know that they would be absolutely doomed if you gave them political power as well.
Its about time the PPM got its act together. I am so happy to hear those names, they are people with integrity, brains, morals, and experience. How coudl anybody say no to the Progressives? The UDP and the C4C better watch out because the Progressives will be taking over. Sorry Mac "You are fired".
Today was a beautiful day for the PPM. Ms Lucille and Al Suckoo "Rocked" on Rooster and now Moses is the Deputy.
I love it!!!!
Great choic Alden, but we in West Bay need 4 STRONG Candidates! People that NEVER got a hand out from McKeeva, as he will slander them during his campaign. We need 3 good West Bay men/women to go along with Mr. DaCosta. I for one do not need any of the existing 4 to EVER get back in to West Bay. Paul Rivers is not the answer, either. Come on West Bayers fine a few good men/women with backbones and no links to the UDP. George Town need 2 other good strong candidates too. Come on Cayman lets make a stance for better Government. Remember most of the C4C's are UDP'ers, be careful Cayman how you vote here. They appears to be too radical for Cayman. They have not yet presented an Agenda, yet they want PPM to release theirs. Jokers!!
A great guy….. Garth Arch.
That Arch family is pure UDP.
OR Pure C4C – oh wait they are the same thing arent they?
It may make more sense to only put forward only 2 strong PPM candidates in West Bay to concentrate the PPM vote to increase the prospects of picking off the weaker UDP candidates.
West Bayers, watch out. Want the West Bay Road closed? Vote UDP. Want slightly less of the West Road closed? Vote PPM. Want none of the West Bay Road closed and your historic accesses to the beach retained? Look elswhere. Alden really put his foot in it when he said he'd close the West Bay Road on Rooster – oh, I beg your pardon, he said he'd close less of it than Bush would, what a relief. Total political ineptitude from poor Alden, as usual. You saw the mess he made of education ala the lunatic Leonardo da Vinci babble – please, Cayman, wake up and elect sound candidates this time round or we've had it.
Did they have a (secret) party conference where the party officials were elected?
I also must have missed the annual UDP conference.
http://www.udp.ky: account suspended!
In a futile attempt to find out a bit more about our parties constitutions regarding electing/selecting party officials and candidates I tried to locate their websites using a well known search engine.
http://www.ppm.ky does not exist, and http://www.udp.ky is suspended!
That about summed it up for me.
the ppm.ky website is officially offline until the launch of the election campaign. It will be back online within a few weeks. The site is currently being re-designed
Next week the UDP website will redirect you to the C$C website.
The PPM should select Moses as party leader with Alden as Deputy .Moses is a clear thinker and seems to be able to stay cool and rise above a lot of the "noise" of party politics.
Because the PPM is a real party, that could happen, unlike in the UDP where Mac is and has always been a one man show.
No more party politics. Anyone who has been here for more than 20 years knows that the last decade of politricks has runined us. Bring back theCUSTOS! Bring back sound businessmen souls instead of cronyism and greed.
We are taling about SIMPLE administration of 60,000 people. For crying out loud, our children should ALL be Rhodes Scholars and for what we pay per head ($13,000 per year per Caymanian child!? we could send them ALL to top private boarding schools!!!)
Our PPM vs UDP has put us backwards by at least three generations and I will not stand for another term of overpaid bloated baffoons.
Our school scores and national debt are a testament to political failures. Not on my dime, not again!!! You want better for your families and children? Then wake up and stop listening to these greedy fools. Their empty promises are false. Your land is gone, your culture is gone, but boy-oh-boy they live well???
Good news indeed. Perhaps an errant choice of words to say "Moses CROWNED PPM Deputy." I don't think he'd view the appointment in that manner, but that's just my guess.
Mr. Moses is a man who keeps his word and speaks his mind, and right now that looks a far sight better than what we have. I also think the islands as a whole will benefit from the input of a sucessful businessman.
Mr. Moses does good works without fanfare or self-congratulations and that is laudable as well.
Dare we hope that we could trust our government again? I do — I dare to hope.
If Alden wants the PPM to be taken seriously as a viable alternative to the UDP government they need to show they have the leadership to put forth a vision to run the country with limited money and next to no capacity to borrow additional money with a bloated civil service.
Getting irate when questioned about solutions sounds too much like the current government, the C4C have the same requirements to show leadership and solutions beyond bashing the UDP and McKeeva.
C4C is not a party. They don’t have to show anything. All they need to do is come up with a few seats and they will reveal their true UDP colors.
Congratulations Moses a decent educated and principled son of the soil, badly needed, in contrast to the self serving and greedy hangers on we have had to call "honorable" because they told us to.
21.16 I remember at the last election hearing Moses give a speech over the radio, and it was the finest speech I've ever heard in Cayman, except for one given by Kurt Tibbets about 20 years ago, when he predicted with unerring accuracy, just about everything that is plagueing Cayman now.
An apt speech is one thing, but true leadership combined with effective action is another. Though I don't know Moses well, he does seem to be one of the more convincing and uncorrupted potential leaders out there. Let's give him a whirl! I'd prefer to see him as leader of the PPI. Alden is a fine person I'm sure, but he has a reputation, rightly or wrongly, as being anti-foreigner, and that's not something we need to move Cayman forward. He's also regarded as the man that put a financial millstone around Cayman's neck with the new schools, something that Moses would not have condoned, I'm sure.
Congratulations Mr. Kirkconnell!! I am very pleased to read this. I believe that Moses as deputy leader will be a credit to the PPM and the whole country.
C4C and UDP cannot put together a better team of statesmenwho have always put country first.
Moses and Alden bring a strong, experienced leadership team. They have both served through difficult times such as Ivan and Paloma and know how to deal with challenges. We need their experience, we can’t risk our future with a group of inexperienced independents.
All of us who served for years with Moses on the Cayman Airways Board of Directors were impressed with his business acumen and unwavering commitment to do ‘what’s right for Cayman’.
I hope voters understand what a difference someone like Moses can make in a leadership position.
Thank you Alden for making this wise appointment.
I have worked with Moses in SITA and admire his common sense approach to getting things done. He has an excellence sense of how to balance our needs for jobs and protection of our environment. I strongly endorse him!!
Endorsements only work if we know who is doing the endorsing.
Wha ya say ? i can’t hear ya . honest politicians , maybe the world will end 21 – 12 – 2012.
100% faith that Moses will do what is best for Caymanians and the Cayman islands. Well played PPM.
Moses Kirkconnell has been elected for how long? He has been in a house that has presided over the worst period of governance since time began. What has he said to challenge the current leadership as a prominent member of the opposition?
The answer is simple…Nothing. Why would he think that he deserves our allegiance? I have no need for a refrigerator or any other physical asset.
What I do require however is a commitment to tell the truth and for our leaders to have a little compassion (oops bad word) for the public.
Good cause Moses won't be giving you any physical assets. That's not his style.
Who will be the PPM candidates in George Town? Lucille was on Rooster today which suggests, depressingly, it is the same old same old. They need some young intelligent people not these old civil servants trying to enhance their already considerable pension.
If you heard Lucille on rooster, then you know she is no fool. I agree that we need new blood, but we also need wisdom and experience in a balanced group of young and old. Alden and Moses are intelligent enough to be able to hold their own with our intelligent up and coming youth. With the PPM, we will not see the current leadership culture of ignorance where the Premier refuses to listen to anyone’s opinion but his own (unless it is backed by money).
Joey Hew, a fine and honourable young man.
I would never vote for MOSES KIRKCONELL, ever!
His family have ruled the Brac for years and all we have is is a sky high cost of living. No Moses, you will never split the Red Sea for your followers.
You won't split my wallet either. I will never, ever spend a penny in anything that you are involved with. Electricity, Water, Insurance, Groceries, yadayada.
"Oh but I am going to bat for my people."
Yes, and I am the tooth fairy.
And let me guess, you voting for Juju because she is a "christian" that looking out for you right? Even if it is from afar, in a posh hotel attending conferences on how to lick stamps! While you talk about the "high cost of living".
Yeah, you deserve every bit of what you get when you continue to support people like her.
And if you don't support her or plan not to any longer, I humbly say "sorry" for my comments.
Kirkconnell Ltd has the best prices on the island so I don't know what you are talking about. Oh that's right you are probably one of those that got the parking lot paved and for sure he won't be giving you any freebies. He's a businessman and for sure can assist with turning government around. That's what government needs successful businessmen not incompetent failed men like McKeeva who has failed at everything.
Maybe you were looking handouts. Sorry he believes in teaching a man to fish not giving them the fish. He's the only one looking out for the future of our island: tourism and our children.
You uneducated idiot. All the things in the Brac go through Grand Cayman at an import tax of 22%. It then has to be shipped to the Brac on the barge. But you know what, you could be on to something….maybe businesses go into business to make a loss
Based on you statement I think there must a great opportunity for you to start businesses in Brac selling groceries and insurance at a better price. Maybe you could also buy out the power company and sell electricity cheaper, that would be great. P.S. Moses does not own Water Authority because if he did I think Brac would have piped water island wide.
Foolio is that you again?
Er, Woody, you really think Alden agreeing to a smaller (like that's going to make a difference) closure of the West Bay Road increases your chances in West Bay? Ever heard about the petition? You poor fellow, you don't stand a cat in hell's chance. Time to wake Alden up to the real world instead of the fantasy world he's clearly still living in.
West Bay IS a fantasy world where they knowingly support dishonest candidates in hopes for a handout. Thank God Caymanians is other districts are not so foo foo. 4 more years of McKeeva would be the end of Cayman as anything other than a third world failure.
Sorry, Alden, Moses won't provide you with the premiership. You're done, along with "politics as usual" UDP Bush. There's a new kid in town called C4C and it's the end of an era. Goodbye, Alden. Wonder who'll be taking over from you after 2013?
Who? C$C? Not a chance Star! We don't need Rich Disgruntled Former UDP supporters in the house! UDP or C$C = same guy!
C4C hasn’t fielded a candidate yet and their old UDP arrogance is evident. Show us your candidates C4C and we will know your character. Until then try so keep your arrogance under control. If you REALLY care about Cayman, endorse the PPM and sit down to discuss the issues that we all need to tackle over the next 4 years.
C4C is a bunch of disgruntled wannabe King Makers who lost control of Mac and need a new horse. Alden is not for sale so they are looking elsewhere. If they really cared about Country first, they would be asking PPM how they can help and making sure any legitimate concerns are addressed in the PPM manifesto. Party Politcks is not the problem, CORRUPTION is the problem.
Bullseye
All you no-hopers, watch out for 2013 and a big change. Alden? Please!
Oh Iron Fist of The Brac, we salute you.
No, his name is "Big Man" according to Shelby his chief Watering Place manager. Keep up the good works Shelby.
so maybe now they can start offering alternative policies and solutions to caymans problems….
You mean the ones that don't line their pockets? Are you dreaming?
Great News Indeed! Moses will provide excellent leadership, he has proven himself to be a problem solver and a clear thinker. His appointment gives me confidence in the PPM party.
Nicely said Moses.
Yea now that is sure helping our lil twelve mile long Island………..
