Tara Rivers first impression on winning a seat in the Legislative Assembly in Cayman’s Election and breaking the West Bay Bush cartel was one of delight and a lot of people were singing.
Unfortunately in a matter of a few days Rivers didn’t go singing along with any of the people who actually voted for her [...]

The news as I write this editorial is disappointing.
So much for “putting the country first”. The slogan of the Coalition for Cayman (C4C) today is “putting me first”.
My delight at C4C candidate Tara River’s election and the Progressive’s (PPM) leader, Alden McLaughlin’s offer of a seat in his Cabinet has already been dashed.
I am somewhat [...]

The Cayman Islands next premier, Alden McLaughlin had a very hard job in making his seven Cabinet appointments.
McLaughlin doesn’t have a clear majority from his own Progressives (PPM) party having won nine out of eighteen seats.
Tara Rivers and Roy McTaggart, both from the Coalition for Cayman (C4C), had to have been in contention for a [...]

Of all the elections I have witnessed this one was the longest. Not to receive the final result until the following morning at 8:45am with an electoral vote of less than 15,000 persons to count is just not good enough.

And we mustn’t forget the past Auditor General, who Bush was so [...]

The CoalitionforCayman (C4C) have come under fire and some ridicule from their political opponents, namely Cayman’s two parties, The Progressives (PPM) and the United Democratic Party (UDP) for not producing an election manifesto.
The Progressives hit out at the C4C yesterday (15) saying, “…the country is still wondering what the C4C stands for and what is [...]

The last 24 hours has been interesting. I will start with the very last first.
This morning, after my two Editorials on the subject of why don’t the independents tell us whom they would not support if it came to an alliance formation government, iNews Cayman received a Press release from the C4C version of the [...]
