Dr. Brown says that Bermuda will become independent, either through a conscious decision or by the UK wanting rid of us.
“It will come in time. Either we will work our way out of the house, or they will throw us out.”
A cynic might speculate that he aims to be such a pain that they cut us loose. Nice strategy.
“Sometimes people raise the question: why don’t you call a referendum now? Because I’m not stupid. I would lose. That’s not my job, to see that we would lose on an issue like that.”
But your job is to listen to the will of the people. It is not to play a manipulative cat and mouse game until you get what you want.
The PLP website accuses the Royal Gazette of obsessing on the issue. I think it’s the reverse: the PLP leadership insist that independence is the only logical endgame when most of the population do not want it.
