Panton: Cayman must prepare for more disruption
(CNS): The Cayman Islands must expect and prepare for disruption, Premier Wayne Panton said when he addressed the RF Economic Outlook Conference on Wednesday. He said that Cayman withstood the storm of COVID-19 and is beginning to recover, helped significantly by the financial services sector, which the premier described as the lynchpin of the economy. The history of fiscal prudence by the government also helped the country navigate this disruption, he said.
With a strong and resilient economy, which is set to grow this year and next, the fiscal prudence, which had provided an income buffer without increasing debt, would continue, he said. “We are committed to maintaining a buffer to mitigate any shocks. As leaders, we should expect disruption and prepare for it.”
Panton, who delivered his address via video, noted ongoing issues relating to the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, supply chain problems, inflation and rising interest rates, as well as the risks of climate change and the inevitability of stronger and more frequent storms ahead.
The premier spoke about sustainably growing Cayman’s existing economic pillars and developing new ones in the technology arena. He said Cayman was well poised to build a tech-friendly corporate environment and the government was working on the necessary regulator framework.
“We are seeking to build virtual assets around pre-existing finance,” he added, as he delivered an upbeat message against a backdrop of significant concerns.
His speech came the day after the World Bank released its Global Economic Prospects report, which warned of a return to stagflation and slashed its previous growth predictions of 4.1% to 2.9%. Compounding the damage from the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its impact on supply chains, inflation, and financial conditions have slowed the world economy to what could become a protracted period of feeble growth and elevated inflation, the World Bank said.
“One key risk to the outlook is the possibility of high global inflation accompanied by tepid growth, reminiscent of the stagflation of the 1970s,” the authors wrote.
“For many countries, recession will be hard to avoid,” said World Bank President David Malpass.

As the Middle East reduces its reliances and income on oil and gas to Tourism, primarily because automobiles are changing from gas to electric engines.
They are promoting there Hospitality and Tourism products and industry mainly to Europeans by creating 3.6 million jobs
https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/middle-east-travel-tourism-expected-to-create-3.6-million-jobs-within-next/
This gives us in the Caribbean, and in particular, the Cayman Islands an opportunity to begin a proper evaluation of our Marketing and Promotional venues and strategies to begin to offering a better online presents
As everyone turn to online bookings and reservations for sales and income. We in Tourism need a better online marketing strategy
Godaddy.com would certainly help the Craft Market Vendors
http://tab.ky/ccm.html
A lot of the Craft Market Vendors would do well by advertising and marketing locally made products online if they use godaddy.com to create web-sites and sell there products
Inflation means some people get more money from most of us.
Both a good and bad economy present profit-earning opportunities. It’s just what you make of it. If you can pivot and solve problems, you will be just fine.
Godaddy.com is a web site builder that allows small business owners and entreprenuers the option to choose from templates to build a professional web site with international marketing strategies at a low cost
https://www.godaddy.com/en-uk/websites/website-builder
With consumers choosing to conduct most of thier business affairs online and automation reducing the need to hire employees, the concern of high unemployment is becoming a reality with few answers and solutions
For all of our small businesses who partisicipate in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry, like the Craft Market Vendors, the Restaurants, the Bars, the Bus Tours and Water Sports Operators
Creating a web presence for reservation, bookings and sales can help boost the number of traffic online and persons to your business
Unlike, Verizon in the US, our Telephone Operators are not currently offering web-site builder assistance at a low cost to help boost traffic, sales and income for small businesses
https://www.verizon.com/business/small-business-essentials/websites
Verizon is an American Telephone Company that offer low telephone and internet rates.
Its is primarily used by most college students to do research online because of the low cost offered
Technology is making it easier to start and operate your business online and with most people choosing to conduct thier business affairs online, Verizon web-site builder is a great opportunity and a great venue for small business owners and entreprenuers to market there business at really low cost
Small businesses in Cayman continue to get good promotions, ratings and coverage in the international media and magazines, but we do not do anything to promote ourselves
For example, take this media promotion about Caymanian local foods in East End at Ms Vivine’s Kitchen where there is little online presence directing traffic and knowledge of our local foods
https://www.uncommoncaribbean.com/cayman-islands/for-a-true-taste-of-the-cayman-islands-vivines-kitchen-is-a-must/
With a web-site launched highlighting our local food menu, would certainly drive more visitors to our outter districts
The other international media promotions we received that do not have a web-site presence, is the Crystal Caves described by the Canadian media house as a place where the Pirates use to hide out
https://nationalpost.com/travel/island-hopping-from-little-to-grand-cayman
Again, with a web-site launched highlighting our Caves and Botanic Park, would certainly drive more visitors to our outter districts
Digicel can’t even tell their customers they have a voicemail.
It’s sad the service we receive and ICTA and its leadership is even more dismal for us, the consumer.
What did he have to say about the upcoming Civil Service salary increases?
They will be given cost of living and assistance with cuc. What about people who are not civil servants
Are we to assume disruption means more BS, more inaction, mire turning a blind eye to corruption, more unsustainable development, more traffic jams, more price gouging….? I could go on.
‘Corruption’ may very well be the reason these Islands’ are in a mess 🤔
And still hiring constituency staff…WTF????
Put the Pension on hold till the end of the year. At least will give a little more money to employees and employers alike who are still struggling
Retroactively make it a choice that must be agreed by both parties…otherwise your just cutting an employee’s salary.
The best and most (individually) profitable or advantageous opportunity is constituency employment. And, it doesn’t stop there. Don’t forget the crony-driven government contracts AND the outrageous distribution of social assistance/family household funding. Every government program will be unneccessarily & disproportionately utilized (1)for “curried” favors, (2)for the purpose of appeasing constituents, and/or (3)for general “lifestyle enhancement”.
what’s even more fascinating to witness so many of these same constituents, become so heavily reliant on the incumbent Political Party, that they will falter as soon as the Political Party/Administration changes (i.e. leaves Public Office) #TheChaos
Plant fruit trees everywhere, and eat what we grow.
Now would be the time to introduce a bus system that runs on schedule.
We do not have to be sitting ducks or pigs to the slaughter.
I like to find a sitting duck to slaughter, plenty of food round the place.
Caymanians sad because the Caymanians they voted for are useless. Again.
TRUTH!
No o e votes for anyone. It’s anti democratic.
Every property around our house was sold in the last year. We used to be a genuine Caymanian neighborhood. We have not met our new neighbors yet – we are told every property was sold sight unseen. We are starting to wonder if the new neighbors are Chinese.
LMAO wtf does chinese have to do with it and why the hell does it matter
That is none of your business.
Your question indicates you are totally uninformed.
inform us then bigot
I’ve lived in the house I bought in cayman 5 years ago and never met my neighbors as I don’t want to. Why is that an issue?
🙀😾😫
What ever happened with extending maternity leave for mother’s??????
Did that plan just dissepate into the air?
Who is going to pay for it? Will Chamber members, CITA members, CIREBA members, Bankers Association members pay for it out of their own profits?
Or is Government supposed to pay for it?
EXACTLY! I am sick and tired of wealthy privileged Karen’s coming here from high tax socialist jurisdictions in part to take advantage of the fact there are no direct taxes, and then demand benefits that are only possible in other countries because of high direct taxation. Why should the Caymanian people pay for other people’s reproductive decisions? Reproduce when and if you can afford to!
We all pay duties and fees into the public purae, regardless of nationality.
So Caymanian Mothers are now ‘Karens?’
The ones that want me to pay for their reproductive choices, while I struggle to ensure I can pay for my own, yes.
There’s compulsory maternity leave in nearly every country in the world, but The United States, Papua New Guinea.
Stop eating turtle and do something about it then Wayne….
You should start eating insects
Yah. Small ones.
Saw him last night. Lord his is so overweight! I think both he, and our Minister of health, are anything but healthy. Both would likely be rejected from from any insurance carriers due to their morbid obesity. (Except Government CINCO). Can we have someone healthier decide heath issues? And also someone with a background in the field?
Seems like he must be talking about customs and general mail package clearance. Two weeks plus.
To improve stay over tourism cancel “no TRAVEL CAYMAN”. The web site and app alone is discouraging everybody! Apparently it was put together by a committee of monkeys who attended the university of impossible bureaucrats.
thanks for the words …wayne……zzzzzz
do-nothing-no-plan-pact
If government wants to secure a prosperous future for Cayman they should invest in Bitcoin, and they should do it immediately.
Real asset-backed crypto tokens are the way to go.
Yes, crypto tokens are one way to go broke. Have fun!
Lol
Yeah. Millions were lost on bitcoins not long ago. Were you one of the big losers?
Long term HODLers are doing just fine.
Everything went up but the price of weed stayed the same.
Every lil ting gonna be alright, I guess.
But what Pantin and Roy don’t wont admit is the financial service would still be here even if you applied regulations that gave us priority our own country. Instead we have Sanders begging for equal ooportuniny for low level jobs in our own country. Weak leaders
If you want people to take your opinion seriously, maybe learn to spell the names of the politicians you’re calling weak.
Spelled Premier’s and Deputy Premier’s names wrong.
‘Spelled’?
yes…..
it is a word…….
google is free my friend. use it.
Thank you, 2:39 pm. “Spelled” is how it is spelled.
Dont buy the business driven narrative that abandoning Covid precautions will magically make life better for the struggling people. The global economy is headed to stagflation and recesssion.
No stopping tbis train.
All that matters is that the Cayman Islands remains a LEVEL 3 TRAVEL RISK country with active cautionary language for US Citizens to rethink travel here. Pragmatic and astute Americans are understandably avoiding Cayman because there is higher community concentration of virus spread here than at their point of origination, and there is material risk of getting stuck abroad (for a week, in a $10k+/week hotel) unable to clear CDC testing to fly home (cruise is different!). Frankly, I would rethink too if I were them, maybe visit another state this year. This isn’t a secret or rocket science. How can our career Tourism leadership not have the situational awareness to review and be abreast these CDC alerts, and then factor why perhaps our numbers are down!?? Fire these clueless morons for believing the “travel barrier” is unenforced mask wearing.
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/covid-3/coronavirus-cayman-islands
You must have forgot that the US still requires a covid test to enter…
If the US got rid of that entry test, US citizens wouldn’t be trapped here… ergo, travel could get back to some level of normalcy.
Uh oh. What’s your excuse going to be next week?
Us just did get rid of entry Covid rest! No longer required so Cayman needs to follow suite and get rid of all restrictions so people will travel to Cayman and most the economy. Cruise tourist do not spend the money on island like the stay over tourist. Open up!!!
Tell that to Marc Langevin and CITA
Is linchpin the right word? Did Chris Saunders approve this message? Get your stories straight guys.
Fiscal prudence Wayne? You mean like Kenny Beach and the fire hose approach to the tourism industry worker stipend, just to start with?
Fiscal prudence also includes treating people fairly and thereby also allowing them to make a living.
SMH.
I listened to an NPR podcast this morning that stated that the Caribbean tourism is up 110% from
Pre-Covid numbers yet Cayman is at 50%. Stop the nonsense…. Vaccinated not vaccinated masked not masked…let’s get our economy rolling before it’s too late if not already!
Let’s agree that unenforced mask regulations are silly. But they aren’t a credible deterrent for travellers. What are: 1. high cost, low value is, as is 2. the LEVEL 3 CDC Travel Alert that cautions would be visitors to rethink visits to the Cayman Islands, potentially trapped unable to return home for another week – see #1. Rest of Caribbean only benefits from failing to credibly tabulate and post reliable Covid stats. Not any safer in those places if we’re being honest.
American’s do not give even a single shit about CDC travel warnings.
You are partially wrong! Cruisers, No, don’t care. Stay-overs care greatly – they can and are going elsewhere.
I think you’ve got that correctly analyzed.
So Mr. Premier – why is the civil service permitted to continue to be so wasteful, inept and obstructive?
Because Franz Manderson is in charge of the Civil Service and never held accountable. The best person to get an answer from is Manderson’s boss Governor Roper that goes along with all the nonsense just like his predecessors. The civil service is the weakest link in the chain and biggest threat to the Caymans.
By far. It is now dangerous. To those who doubt it, just look at the sheer numbers of dependents of civil servants allowed to come and reside in Cayman free from any effective immigration controls or limitations. Accessing free education and healthcare at great cost of the Caymanian people, with no accountability. All hidden from view in the way statistics are presented. Pockets of a single foreign nationality are readily apparent in certain departments. None of this would be permitted in the private sector.
Agree, except not with the last sentence.
If we had better educated professionals we wouldn’t need to hire so many foreign civil servants. Sadly, this is the cost of our piss poor educational mess. Want progress to be self-governed, we need to be better educated, more ethical and actually enforce our laws. Currently, we fail in all three.
So, to a certain extent, I agree with you, but here’s the rest to consider.
Education is important. Caymanians are educated and some are not — we also have educated fools, which tend to be a bigger problem than some who are not educated.
As the Cayman Islands grew and modernized over the years (especially 1960s to 1980s), there was far more need for foreign workers to assist with guidance and gap-fillers in professional and trade deficiencies. Much of that need has long gone, although there will likely always be need for foreign workers, at least, to some degree.
What has happened (over the years in both the public and private sectors) is that foreign workers have come in and established their presence and, when there was expansion, they hired foreign workers from their heir original home county and overlooked Caymanians (especially ensuring that Caymanians were not able to progress).
So, as it stands, we now have a civil service (as well as high-level governmental and public sector appointments) that are not Caymanian and, if they have their way, it will stay that way, unless something is actually done about it — this is akin to the “deep State” in the USA, who run quite a bit of America.
Compound this problem with associations and societies, which carry much power and control, like the Lodge, then now mix it together with deep State plants (in the Civil Service), and it’s a mess.
In the private sector, it’s very similar too. So, many in the private sector, who are in lucrative positions and some become business equity owners, come from other countries, where they would not be able to obtain the same lucrative-paying positions — in essence, many people, who found success in Cayman, were failures in their own countries and, if it were not for the Cayman Islands, they would pretty much be nowhere special in life or in business.
The Cayman Islands’ biggest problem is now is NOT the lack of education, it’s rather the over-saturation of non-Caymanians INTERCEPTING business and employment opportunities from Caymanians. There is a lack of freethinkers, at least Caymanian freethinkers, and therefore (it seems) that direction and guidance from non-Caymanians is becoming more of what Caymanians are hanging on as Bible.
So, it’s really a lack of self-confidence by Caymanian (as well as Caymanian freethinkers) and over-saturation of not-needed-Non-Caymanians, rather than lack of education.
That being said, the next generation of Caymanians may have more of an isssue with education, at least, if this generation does not do its best to guide them in the right way.
Now, as you mentioned, Cayman does need to enforce laws, at least the lawful and const laws, but not the unlawful and unconstitutional ones, which need to be challenged in the Courts and by Caymanians in the court of public opinion (because the latter is what gets through to the politicians and big money power players).
“We have a civil service now that are (sic) not Caymanaian”. How can you write such total bullshit, 4:27? Have you actually ever looked at, talked to, met with nearly all of the senior and middle managers in the civil service? Most of the non Caymanian workforce (about 30%) are in jobs like teaching, the police, prison etc where you simply cannot find Caymanians to fill the posts. The Post Office, Fire, Immigration and Customs (CBC) are nearly 100% Caymanian. How is that working out, bobo?
Yes, 4:27 pm, But perhaps you left out the biggest problem.
Most Cayman children get very little proper up-bringing at home! What can we do to change that???
Your questioned should be posed to the Governor and Deputy Governor.
Unfortunately, the elected members of government have little control over the wasteful, inept, and obstructive world-class civil servants. I must say though: those descriptive words mostly only applies to the Deputy Governor’s senior leadership team.
If poison spills from above, we all drown in it.
When you have a clown like the one from NS go to Jamaica to negotiate breadfruits, then we have a problem. When we have a DP driving a CIG Protocol Tahoe as though its his (we know he filling it up at DVES- thus abusing the public purse) , we have a problem. When we have a MP getting into Civil Service hiring practices- we have a problem.
To summarize-PACT government IS a problem.
At some point the PACT constituents need to realise that staying on the PACT train is ruining their political careers forever.
I had high hopes for some new blood in the system when they came into office initially, but now see that they’re all running around like chickens with their heads chopped off – no vision, no leadership, no brains. need I go on?
Grow some balls and stop the Covid restriction BS.
And they were all elected by Caymanians!
Not that the other choices would’ve been any better…
What generation though?
If only we could harness all that hot air government blows. The cost of living is out of control, but they don’t care, their salaries more than cover it, but for a lot of people it doesn’t. Traffic returning to pre-pandemic levels, no bike lanes as promised, end of working from home despite all the ‘green’ talk and the ‘new norm’. Nothing has changed for the better and no solutions provided to mitigate the worsening situation. In short the government is useless to the common man.
Look at the comment made 8:41PM……perfectly said. DP cruising the streets in a Chevy Tahoe belonging to CIG and US the people. So inflation, gas prices nothing affects them. CAN WE DEMAND A NEW ELECTION??????
And what makes you think the electorate has a better grasp on reality than in the past 2,3,4,5+ elections. I have little faith in the electorate.
Like the electorate has a choice. It’s always the same old have beens running for seats. Almost no new blood and the qualified, educated, smart candidates are few and far between (and not in my district, where I had to choose between a bag of hammers and a pile of rocks).
STOP defending the electorate! They ARE also a bag of rocks. Darn it – it’s your country, stop whining about the choices – get better choices then.
And where would those choices come from? Most voters can’t run for office. I can’t run for office because I wasn’t born here. Only my grand kids will be able to run for office. By the time that happens these islands will be underwater anyway.
WTF is that going to solve? prices around the WORLD is going up. what you want them to do demand it all stays the same in cayman? the employers are sh*t for not compensating with pay, or letting people save on gas by staying home.
people are complaining so much about pact but didnt have this much fire under their butts when ppm was in for 39482 years and they did NOTHING for the people. You all are pushing more anger to this group because we JUST so happen to be entering a recession while they are in power and you are feeling it more, but be smart please. you want pact to hand everyone 3k a month or somehting. be real. what are they suppose to do make yall happy cuz no matter what you will have something to b*tch about and look for handouts on.
its a RECESSION, its COST OF LIVING, idk what you want one governement to do about the worlds recession.
Thats like blaming from for no baby formula as if they run the factory. Be real.
I’m so enjoying my trip to UK. Even though COL has driven up prices, its still dirt cheap compared to Cayman for so much more. I can actually afford to eat here, and eat good at that.
He is not alone, you would be shocked how many government vehicles are used as personal transport and filled with govt gas cards. Some of these people are making in excess of 150k a year and can well afford their own vehicle. Government know about it, but do nothing.
No. Premier has power to perogue Parliament and call early elections, but the Caymanian electorate cannot demand an early election.
If, however, there were a bi-election to fill a vacancy in Parliament (such as, for example, if there were to be a resignation or death of an MP), that could hypothetically occur.
I miss Red Rabbit! I loved buying a Soda, and having my receipt say ‘ice’. Good ole days!
Wayne did mention the metaverse in his presentation today, so everything should be a-okay…
All of these fat bloated politicians. How can they stand there? They are an insult to sanity. How can they justify anything? How can they allow the obviously discriminatory Travel Cayman policies to stand given the cruise ship concessions? How can they justify any of their actions? Answer… they can’t.
vote them all out
That’s what we tried to do last election. It didn’t work!
Who says they can’t? They can and they probably are! If they can amass untold millions they have attained their goal! It isn’t rocket science.
This government doesn’t deserve to run a Seven Eleven on the Tamiami Trail. They have shown no equity nor logic in their actions. Their continued moronic decisions have hog tied tourism, and cost local businesses to face catastrophic losses. They are also duplicitous in their decisions. It is just so dystopian. I cannot understand why they would intentionally destroy us. Maybe they are just stupid, but I doubt that. Someone gains.
I think your last sentence sums it up to be honest. I think the majority are incredibly thick and incompetent but they all know their way to the trough.
The writing has been on the wall for a long time and only a fool didn’t see this coming.
I am a very small investor but I have been preparing for this economic downturn for the past 5+ years. I am debt free and I just moved over 1/2 million dollars from my local investment portfolio so that my overall portfolio can be more globally diverse and so that I can further eliminate the concentration of risk. If things continue on the current trajectory up to another 1 million will be redeployed to further prepare for the economic fallout.
I encourage everyone to take similar steps to protect themselves from the possible economic tsunami that could materialize over the next few years.
So you have over 1.5mm in liquidity and call yourself the common man??!!! Yah, well this don’t sit right. Sure, I get your point – “ I got money and I am going to show them by moving it away”, but remember the whole world is about to face a recession…. Me thinks thou might be cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face….
You completely missed the point. Being more globally diverse and broadening the investment portfolio is the only common sense thing to do during a global recession.
I started out with nothing a long time ago. I worked hard and made many sacrifices to get to where I am today. I am (or was) the common man and the common man can achieve what I have achieved through discipline, focus and sacrifice.
Discipline, focus, sacrifice and a hefty dose of structural inequity and privilege. I would bet my last dollar your interpretation of starting with nothing is middle-class at worst, and that you have never brushed up against actual poverty other than to walk past it on the street.
Maybe it would be better for you to focus your attention on how you can improve your own circumstances instead of criticizing other people for the accomplishments that they achieved after many years of personal sacrifice.
Don’t grudge your brother, friend.
So he/she learned how to save and invest. Apparently others did not. Good for him/her.
That all assumes we haven’t been working minimum wage jobs where we had nothing left to save after all the bills were paid. Not everyone has an investment portfolio.
I didn’t start out with an investment portfolio. I worked hard and made many sacrifices along the way to improve myself and to build sustainable wealth. Don’t make excuses about minimum wage jobs and having nothing left after paying your bills when what you should have been doing is working every day to improve your skills and your ability to earn more money to achieve your long term financial goals.
So why are you working for minimum wages? Did you sleep through school? Wait for CIG handouts? Do anything to better yourself? I also started out cleaning a fast food kitchen when I was 15 – minimum wage. I certainly did not stay there, simply to bitch ‘oh poor me…’ 20 years later. Take responsibility for yourself already!
Never have so few people been paid so much to achieve so little.
Who exactly has been paid?
The politicians?
You sound like a knob pal
I accept that some people will not be able to understand the message that is being communicated.
So disgusted with the lack of honesty from this government. They have thrown small businesses under the bus with their two tiered application of the Covid regulations. I work as a retail sales person. I have many friends who are also retail sales people. The idiotic mask mandate is only for small businesses, that cannot risk the consequences of our bully slimy bs government. All of my friends who work for businesses that have owners who start with the letter ‘D’ or the letter ‘K’, have told me for the last 3 months, that their managers have advised them to not, NOT require customers to wear masks if they complain about mask mandates. So wrong, so inequitable. So par for the course. Disgusting , just disgusting. They have no honor, honesty nor morals. I am so done wirh arguing with maskhole American cruisers. Come get me Wayne and Sabrina. I dare you.
Well, I’m Caymanian and I stopped wearing my mask long time. They can come get me too if they want to. I’ll be waiting.
Sounds typical… And we wonder why we are in a bucket load of manure – because of folks with attitudes like you. It’s mandated and you won’t follow the rules. So don’t complain when other rules breakers rob you. And don’t call the police – you don’t believe in laws.
So you think I should throw a powerless retail clerk under the bus? For a regulation that is boneheaded at best? Is that your take on this obviously biased, inequitable, and patently offense regulation? Really penalize sales clerks? Low wage earners…People who are suffering the most at the hands of this government? Okay bobo. Guess you do not live in our world.
OK FOX viewer, your alternate reality serves to ease your uncomfortable cognitive dissonance.
You are such a misogynist wingnut, that it is crazy. How can you expect people who make flipping $6 an hour to report their bosses? You are the biggest fool of 2022. Yay! You win the XXXXX of the year! Congrats!
I do follow the rules. Every single one. I am pissed off that the rules are unfair. That are not applied equally. That is bias. That is bull. That is disingenuous. That is wrong. That needs to end.
I do follow the rules. And I am sick of having to abide by an apartheid imposed by hypocrites. I wear a mask all day, unlike those that impose that law, yet do not follow it. My issue is the inequitable application and enforcement of the law. It is rules for only poor people. There are NO consequences for high ranking government officials, there are no consequences for wealthy retailers…only for the common man. There is a reason for disgust. Look at history. You can only screw over the people for so long, before they call Bull.
You need to do more than just ‘call bull.’
The Government met today and apart for some minor amendments to some obscure laws and the Parliament Act there was nothing else on the agenda, no major policy changes, no new initiatives, no anti-inflation measures or cost of living measures….nothing!!!! absolutely nothing!!
These guys have had a year and it seems through their inaction that they are perfectly happy with the way the PPM left things. Maybe we should have voted in the PPM led Alliance because the Clown show I witnessed today was not impressive or inspiring in the least!
The only thing that has changed in a year is a few pant and dress sizes and it wasn’t for the better.
vote them out next election!!!!
