Months of arrangement by the originators and a little band of supporters at last prompted the foundation of the primary political gathering ever. There have been numerous distributed forms of the occasions paving the way to the conception of the PLP. Few, notwithstanding, gave an exact record of the actualities as they are known by the originators of the gathering. Here are the actualities: William W. Cartwright and Cyril St. John Stevenson went to England in June of 1953 apparently to "cover" the crowning ordinance of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for "The Bahamian Review", yet with a firm determination to look for backing and help from authorities of the Labor Party and Fabian Society for the foundation of a political gathering in The Bahamas. The slate of officers named at the origin of the gathering was chosen by the tradition for one year. As the PLP developed in enrollment and stature it pulled in various conspicuous Bahamians to its authority. This authentic portrayal of the beginning of the PLP would not be finished if derivation was not made to the extraordinary commitment by the ladies' branches of the Party. Unheralded and terminated with mettle and commitment past the obligation at hand, these devoted souls worked continuously in the reason for the Party. They were in the cutting edge of all raising support drives, and their vicinity was emphatically felt in every aspect of the Party's exercises. To name all of them would be an unthinkable assignment. To say that the nation would recollect that them with appreciation would be every bit of relevant information.
On May 6, 1954, very nearly one hundred individuals from The Bahamas Taxi Cab Union gathered in the Mother's Club, East, Street, to hear the Chairman of the Party and individuals from the official board plot the Party's advancement since its commencement. On this event, Sir Lynden talked finally on unions, and asked the individuals to cooperate for the benefit of the Party. As an aftereffect of this meeting the President of the Union, Mr. P.A. Huyler, delegated a board of trustees to consider the prudence of shaping a PLP branch for Union individuals. This was a standout amongst the most vital advancements in the life of the Party. The Taxi-Cab Union was a capable association. On the off chance that it could be urged to join up with the PLP, the Party would be well making a course for political achievement. On June 16, 1954, a PLP board of trustees, headed by Sir Lynden, and an advisory group headed by Mr. Huyler met and worked out arrangements to empower the Union to toss its full backing behind the eight month old political gathering. The PLP went into the general decision of 1956 sure of triumph. The Party developed with six individuals, surveying 33 percent of the aggregate number of votes cast. On July 10, a huge date ever, the six individuals, sat down in the House of Assembly, drove by the Party Leader. “Today’s PLP” a party that at every election boasts of their accomplishments even though most of the time it was either them finishing a project someone else started or even taking credit for someone else’s achievement.Even when they weren't talking about someone else’s achievement they were talking about things from the far past a time to which one would think to be long forgotten with the party’s recent “endeavours” This party with the rt. hon. Perry Gladstone Christie at the helm has metaphorically and literally fallen from grace. Today’s PLP has dipped their hands in and out of corruption which includes drugs and hushing up crimes which involved its members even supposed bribery. Yes they did win the 2012 election but to what end? Will the same corruption rule? Or will the PLP make a full turn around before the next general election.
