By LEANDRA ROLLETribune Staff Reporterlrolle@tribunemedia.netPRIME Minister Phillip “Brave” Davis said on Friday that his administration will let Bahamians decide whether The Bahamas should transition into a republic amid reignited discussion over the issue following Queen Elizabeth II’s death. “I will have a referendum and the Bahamian people will have to say to me, ‘yes.’”Asked if having a referendum was on the table, the prime minister replied that it was. I had the opportunity to serve as prime minister and it never became a relevant consideration at the time that I served as prime minister. Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham said he was not an advocate “for any changes,” adding that he liked The Bahamas as it is now. His comments came weeks after Prime Minister Davis and a delegation visited Barbados to observe the country’s highly publicised transition to a republic.
