Constitutional advancement along the lines of the Bermuda model is not necessarily a panacea, Bermuda Premier W. Alexander Scott, told a meeting on Saturday.
Mr. Scott, guest speaker at the PPM annual conference, said that people talked about the Bermuda model but he would be making no comment on how Cayman might wish to evolve its own constitution.
He felt that Cayman already led in some aspects which Bermuda could look at.
Cayman celebrated its national heroes particularly well as an important part of acknowledging its history and culture. And the law recognised the country’s national song, he said.
The Bermuda model was not without its flaws and the country’s path to constitutional change had been rough and rugged, he told the conference.
The constitution should be the product of the community and not just of a few people in parliament, said Mr. Scott.
The Bermuda model had been called an advanced model but he said there were those who wanted a more evolved constitution.
The Turks and Caicos constitution had evolved even further than that of Bermuda, he said.
Progress was being made and Cayman could make progress to its liking, he told the conference.
