The United Bermuda Party’s two remaining MPs have called meetings in each of their constituencies to gauge public feeling, as well as assessing their own political futures.Former Opposition leader Kim Swan, who says he remains determined to “serve out the rest of my term as a member of the UBP”, represents St George’s West, while Charlie Swan, MP for Southampton West Central, also resolved to carry on possibly as an independent, or as part of a coalition.Charlie Swan told Southampton constituents last night: “After the UBP central committee on May 3, I had a lot of calls from people who had no idea that the UBP’s dissolution was wrapped up in the merger.“They were concerned about the process and the lack of opportunity to express their views. Their concerns were ignored and, I would say, cast aside at the party meeting on May 3, which is why we are having these public meetings now.”Asked by UBP member David Cooper how he planned to move forward, Mr Swan admitted: “When a General Election is called, forming a coalition may be one way.”Kim Swan threw in that he had proposed forming a coalition with the Bermuda Democratic Alliance to the UBP back in January.“It fell on deaf ears,” he said. “People had a preconceived notion of what we wanted to do, and it’s the same mind set that prevailed in the end.”Charlie Swan said he would stay in the House of Assembly but “because the party is in the process of being dissolved, I’m there as New UBP.”He said he had contemplated going forward as an independent MP as well.“One can continue to serve with or without a party,” he said.With only eight people attending the Southampton meeting, Mr Swan was asked: “Where are your supporters?”“I have been all around this constituency, and the words of encouragement have outnumbered the discouragement,” he replied.UBP supporter Michael White told him: “The power of one isn’t going to get you anywhere this time.”Mr Swan countered: “The mind set that will ignore a party constitution is difficult for me to buy into. By my actions, let me be judged.”Turning to constituency issues, Mr Swan told the group of residents gathered at Mount Zion Church Hall that speed bumps were to be put in place at Coral Acres, that the neighbourhood of Port Royal Gardens was reaching an agreement with an assisted living home being built in the area, and that he was continuing to call for repairs to Evans Bay Dock, as well as lights for a dangerous crossing at Granaway Heights.Wednesday night’s special general meeting for constituents of St George’s West had a similarly small turnout 12 in total with Kim Swan conceding afterward: “You never know what you’ll get.”However, he added: “I was pleased that people took the time to come out to express how they feel about the party and their community.”He told the gathering in the Edith Clair Spencer room at St Peter’s Church: “There are issues in the community that I have more time to focus on, now that I am no longer the Opposition Leader.”There was a notable absence of political feedback from residents, who were most concerned about plans to develop the Park Hyatt resort in St George’s.They were addressed by former mayor E Michael Jones, representing developer Carl Bazarian, who assured them development would be “the flagship of all the Park Hyatt resorts, and the first of its kind that they will build.“Park Hyatt are putting their own money into this project because they want to go ahead.”Although he could not guarantee that work on the resort would start this year, Mr Jones said that since the lease had been signed, developers had “one year to start building by the end of this year, we will need to be digging”.He said a small hotel was envisaged, with roughly 100 rooms, plus about 15 houses, 79 villas, and “a little bit of a high-rise for condos, not dissimilar in design to Grotto Bay”.Mr Jones described the planned development as “a bedroom community” with limited negative impact on St George’s life.Asked by resident Michael Paynter how much it might cost to stay there, Mr Jones said: “I’m assuming rates will be around $400 a night, about the same as at the Fairmont Southampton.”The group was also addressed by Pc Simon Joseph on the increasing popularity of neighbourhood watch groups on the area.Mr Swan said afterwards that he had requested Pc Joseph to reassure residents, particularly in light of the seizing by police of drugs, plus a firearm and ammunition, in the Wellington Slip area of St George’s on Sunday.“People have two big concerns in this community: crime and the economy,” Mr Swan said. “I invited Mr Jones on behalf of Mr Bazarian because we need successful business in this community, and Park Hyatt is one of the companies that will make St George’s successful again.”Mr Swan promised to hold more “regional grassroots meetings” with constituents in the coming days.
