The Progressive Labour Party acknowledges reports that Jarion Richardson will be stepping down as Leader of the One Bermuda Alliance, and we acknowledge his service to Bermuda as Leader of the Oppostion.
While leadership changes in the OBA have occurred six times in the past eight years, Bermuda has learned through experience that new faces do not mean new ideas. The question now before the people is this:
Will the next OBA leader reject the party’s failed and harmful record, or double down on it?
Before presenting themselves as a “fresh start,” any new OBA leader must answer for their party’s track record:
These aren’t rhetorical questions. These are the OBA’s actual decisions when they held power and the positions they have never repudiated while in Opposition.
The people of Bermuda deserve to know whether the next OBA leader will continue the same harmful policies that reduce opportunity for Bermudians, or finally admit their party got it wrong.
The OBA may be changing its leader. But until it changes its values, Bermudians already know exactly who they are.
