Letter from Bermuda: A General Election looms

Some time in the next ten months, Bermuda faces a general election. Given the euphoria that reigned four years ago, when the Progressive Labour Party (PLP) won its first ever victory, re-election should be a foregone conclusion. In reality, the PLP has performed so poorly that the Opposition United Bermuda Party (UBP) may represent an unexpectedly strong alternative and the election may be a close thing.
