[edit] Oldest parliament?

I thought that the oldest parliament in the world was that of narnia where they speak cling on

[edit] GDP

The article currently lists Bermuda's GDP per capita as $97,000, leading all countries in the world. However, the link attached to this figure directs to a page that claims Bermuda's GDP per capita is only $69,900, making it third of all countries in the world (this statistic is credited to the CIA World Factbook). Someone with expertise in Bermuda's economy should settle this discrepancy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sisterray24 (talkcontribs) 01:05, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

  • The World Factbook is incorrect. (source: myself, a Bermudian with "expertise" in their economy.) --Whitingrj (talk) 20:21, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] THe Article Looks REALLY BAD

The climate table clashes with the photos!!! It looks super bad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.172.208.97 (talk) 22:28, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] "Bermuda", not "The Bermudas" is official

Both the Constitution of Bermuda Order 1968 and the CIA World Factbook describe the Territory as "Bermuda" (not, for the avoidance of doubt, as "The Bermudas" or "Somers Islands"). Statutes passed in Bermud" are also are headed with the name "Bermuda". I see no grounds for describing the Territory as "The Bermudas" in the info. box: "Bermuda" should be used there only. I've made the necessary change and included sources. 86.41.8.75 (talk) 18:03, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Accurate claim: parliament?

 In 1620, a Royal Assent granted Bermuda limited self-governance, thus making the Parliament of Bermuda
the fifth oldest in the world, behind only the Parliament of the United Kingdom, the Tynwald of the Isle of Man,
the Althing of Iceland and Sejm of Poland.[21] Of these, it is the only one to have met continuously as a legislature
since its inception through to today.

Seems to have omitted the Virginia General Assembly (1619). Solicitr (talk) 18:50, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
