Can U.D.P. Unite in Time for the Next General Elections?

With the United Democratic Party in utter chaos, will a new leader be able to shore up the support of its followers to mount a formidable challenge against the P.U.P. should general elections be called in the coming months?  It’s a question that was put to Tracy Panton who is eyeing the leadership of the beleaguered party.

“No political party puts its standard bearers on a ballot to lose.  None.  We are not conceding defeat and we will not surrender.  We will do the work that we must do to ensure, whether it’s a month, whether it’s six months, whether it’s a year.  We are going to do what we need to do on the ground to ensure that the best foot of the United Democratic Party steps forward whenever the general elections are called.”

“Tracy, is it your opinion that the chairman of the U.D.P., with the decisions he has made that are not in your favor, that he is holding the party hostage?”

“I believe that whenever you do not listen to the voices of the electorate, whenever you do not listen to the voices of the delegates, whenever you do not listen to the voices of the standard bearers and the elected representatives of the party, then you are holding the party hostage.”
