Caymanians, the people that time forgot
Reckoning2025 writes: I attended the 2024 Economic Forum and came to the conclusion that they were not addressing the 800-pound gorillas in the room while inserting some crumbs for Caymanians. To put the speeches in perspective given by the three politicians, namely the premier, the deputy premier and the minister of tourism and ports, I sum […]

This is an emotive issue; there are many varied and nuanced sides to this, and I hope that any referendum question, and inevitably campaigning, addresses this. As a founding member of the Cruise Port Referendum movement, my intention was only […]
Poll: Should Cayman have territory-wide MPs?
(CNS): Of the five British Overseas Territories in the Caribbean, the Cayman Islands is the only one that does not have “at-large” (territory-wide) elected political representatives among its legislative body.
