Who really runs Cayman?
For years, Caymanians have watched as big businesses, foreign investors, and special interests have shaped our economy, policies, and future – often at the expense of the people who call these islands home.
We must ask ourselves: who is really running Cayman? Is it the people, or is it those with money and influence?

Promises vs. progress: How to hold politicians accountable
Every election, politicians make bold claims about the future. They promise to lower the cost of living, protect Caymanian jobs, and improve healthcare.

Every election, we hear the same refrain: "My vote won’t make a difference."
But in a democracy as small as ours, where a single vote can shape the future of an entire constituency, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Beyond empty promises
Every election season in the Cayman Islands follows the same script. Candidates promise to lower the cost of living, protect Caymanian jobs, and improve public services – but once elected, many fail to deliver.
The damage of another coalition government
As the Cayman Islands approaches the 2025 general election, voters must consider the consequences of another coalition government.
