When Bermuda Premier Ewart Brown released a video on YouTube on Nov. 2, he tried to convince his fellow citizens that the island's future is bright.

"Bermuda's future is boundless," he said. "Our economic future is strong; it's the envy of much of the world." However, during the same message, he also addressed growing political tensions and disclosed that Parliament was being dissolved in advance of a mid-December general election.

The message came in the wake of a political corruption scandal that three days earlier had culminated in a ruling by the Privy Court in London--the island's highest court of appeal--allowing the media to report on some damaging police documents related to the controversy.
