Editor's Note

It is interesting to note that Robert Montague and Dr. Andrew Wheatley are back in the Cabinet. 

The interesting question is what role will Everald Warmington play in this government? Notwithstanding his rough edges, Warmington is a very astute politician, and he is not afraid to get things done.

Persons like myself see the Most Honourable Juliet Holness as an effective leader. She is not just a prime minister's wife to be at his side, looking stunningly beautiful. The prime minister could be losing out by not putting her in the Cabinet out of fear that some might see it as nepotism. She won her seat handsomely and has earned the right to be a cabinet member if selected. This no-nonsense businesswoman and politician should be allowed to serve at the highest level.
