On 14 September, the Senate defeated the Cost of Living Commission Amendment (No. 2) Bill 2026 on a tied vote. Every Opposition senator voted against it. The Leader of the Opposition had the audacity to call the result a win “for all Bermudians”. The single person, the senior, the family at the register, won nothing that day. Their bill is the same this week as it was last week, and the information that could change this remains out of the public’s view.
