Harold who?

Many voters still do not know who leaked the BHC dossier, despite former PLP supporter Harold Darrell's admission that it was him.

A recent survey by Research.bm found that 47% of registered voters who were certain, likely or possibly going to vote in the upcoming election did not know the identity of the leaker. Only 31% said that a former PLP supporter or member was the source of the leak, while 12% thought the UBP had done it and 7% thought the Auditor General was responsible.

The results suggest a frightening ignorance about the BHC scandal, but whether that's down to apathy or denial is unclear. Either way, the PLP will doubtless be satisfied that they've managed to sow so much doubt about the identity of the leaker.

The survey also asked all respondents who said that they intend to vote for the PLP whether they thought the party would be better going forward without Ewart Brown at the helm. Reassuringly for Dr. Brown, only 25% said it would. Dissatisfaction was significantly higher among younger PLP supporters, however, with 36% of those aged 18 to 34 saying the PLP would be better off without him.

The results suggest that despite some high-profile criticism of Dr. Brown recently, most of the party's supporters are behind him.

The final question in the survey looked at respondents' confidence in Bermuda's affordable housing program. Here, voters appear to be pessimistic. Asked how confident they were that there would be more affordable housing in 10 years, only 34% said they were "somewhat" or "very" confident:
