Broken promises: Coda

I was surprised to read Education Minister Randy Horton's comment on the PLP's ability to keep its promises in today's Royal Gazette:

"Not all promises that we make are able to be realised; if that was the case we would be a perfect government. Certainly, in some cases, we haven't realised them."

By admitting that his party has not and cannot always keep its promises, Mr. Horton's comment will inevitably lead thoughtful Bermudians to wonder which of the pledges in the PLP's latest manifesto will go undelivered too.

To retain their credibility, the PLP would do better to only promise things that they are sure they can deliver.
