Dear Sir,

The poll numbers in Monday’s edition of The Royal Gazette are indeed dismal. Bermuda is in a very sad state politically.

One thing that it did make evident is that the Progressive Labour Party would do a lot better under David Burt than under Marc Bean, who it seems has found the stress of politics too much for his health.

If he really had the good of the party at heart, rather than himself, after today’s polls he would resign, particularly considering health.
