United Bermuda Party MP Kim Swan plans to seek re-election in St George’s West at the next General Election. The former Opposition Leader is one of just two MPs left in the UBP, along with Charlie Swan.He has served St George’s West as an MP since 2007 and revealed: “Provided God Almighty spares my life and continues to bless me and my family with good health and strength, it is my plan to seek the favour of the good people of St George’s West again and pursue re-election at the next General Election.”He would not comment on whether he plans to stand as a United Bermuda Party candidate or otherwise. The news comes in the same week that a poll indicated how 73 percent of registered voters believe the UBP should disband; a 21 percentage point increase since July.Just 19 percent of those polled said the UBP should continue, with the rest undecided. Support for the idea of the UBP disbanding was highest in the 55-plus age group and among white people.The poll was conducted for this newspaper by Mindmaps* and also showed that a third of voters, 33 percent, have an unfavourable or very unfavourable impression of Kim Swan. A total of 20 percent of voters have a favourable or very favourable impression of him.Whites and those aged 55 to 64 thought more highly of him than younger people and blacks.Three years ago, the UBP had Mr Swan at the helm and held 14 seats in the House of Assembly. However, three MPs, Mark Pettingill, Donte Hunt and Shawn Crockwell, left to form the Bermuda Democratic Alliance.Two MPs, Wayne Furbert and Darius Tucker, left the UBP to sit as Independents and later as Progressive Labour Party MPs. The rest of the UBP’s seven MPs quit to join Mr Pettingill, Mr Hunt and Mr Crockwell in the One Bermuda Alliance when it launched in May 2011.An official notice issued by the UBP on June 30 stated that it had ceased to operate as a political body following a resolution from the central council.Mr Swan stated five days later: “I continue to sit in Parliament and represent my constituency in accordance to the nomination paper I signed to become eligible for election. It read United Bermuda Party.”His only remaining party colleague, Charlie Swan, also indicated an intention to continue.Kim Swan refused to comment on the future of the UBP after his announcement yesterday, and Charlie Swan could not be reached for comment.The One Bermuda Alliance has not announced a candidate to fight St George’s West as yet. The PLP held their candidate selection meeting for the constituency yesterday evening [see separate story].See tomorrow’s edition of The Royal Gazette for more on the Mindmaps poll and the favourability ratings of other politicians.* The Mindmaps poll saw 405 Bermuda residents polled between September 13 and 21. All were aged 18 or above, and were registered voters who said they were likely to vote. The data was weighted to be representative of Bermuda’s population on race, age and gender. The margin of error for the study was 4.9 percent.
