Hon. McKeeva Bush

From The Editor

Speaking last Tuesday (22) former Premier, the West Bay Member of Parliament, and former Speaker of the House, McKeeva Bush, has launched a new Party"One Better Cayman". However, he said it was "non-profit" and not a Political Party.

"I don't believe independents can manage this country," he said, and added we have to end the "British bureaucracy.", which has crippled the civil service from executing plans.

What these plans were from the civil service that the British Government had crippled he didn't elaborate.

It is well known he wants Independence from the United Kingdom when some years ago he pointed at the Union Jack flying at The Owen Roberts Airport, and in front of British and overseas dignitaries, he said he wanted to see a "Cayman lslands only flag" there instead.

"My sole objective now is to help ensure that the Cayman Islands is prepared to meet with the challenges of today and tomorrow," Bush said.

"The board of this proposed new party will determine the leadership" and he said he had the backing of a number of individuals without naming who they were. These "individuals would 'screen potential candidates'".

He said he would be prepared to consider working with the Progressives in a coalition.

[Editor] This is assuming his new party would vote for this...?

Bush did not share any names of his party's board members nor did he believe in the cruise referendum.. He knows that "this country needs the cruise industry."

The mission of this organisation is "empowering communities through sustainable development, social justice and holistic well being."

We await with much interest to see what happens next .... if anything........
