Pressure now on OBA's new leader Ben Smith to perform

As the One Bermuda Alliance caucus backs Ben Smith as leader of the party and leader of the opposition, attention turns to him to perform in the role he coveted. Will he live up to expectations? What will Robert King do now? He is unlikely to get a good - if any - shadow cabinet role. Will he be faithful to the party or a loose cannon on the backbench? And still no proper explanation for the coup - how bad is the rebels' messaging? Very bad indeed and it will keep the story running and running ..... There will be more on this, there is no doubt, as shadow cabinet appointments are made, people are frozen out, a new senate team is sworn in and, without a doubt, the Progressive Labour Party will have a field day.
