Description

Recorded on Friday, this is part one of a deeply revealing interview with the Deputy Premier, Zane DeSilva as he confirms his intention to run for the Progressive Labour Party leadership and by default, Premier of Bermuda, when the current leader, David Burt, steps down next October. He speaks to question marks over his integrity, being accepted as a White person in the PLP and his experiences growing up, sleeping on the floor of a shack, which has helped to form many of the views he has today.
