Is Tracy “True True” U.D.P.?

In certain factions of the United Democratic Party, skeptics have cast doubt on Panton’s credentials. Their skepticism stems from her family’s well-known allegiance to the People’s United Party.

“How would you respond to some critics, or perhaps your detractors within the very same UDP who would say, well she’s not originally of UDP blood, so to speak.  What makes her think that she would rise one day to lead this party, considering the history of her family in party politics?

“I would say I am in good company, so was Philip Goldson.  Philip Goldson was not a member of a UDP.  Philip Goldson left the coalition that they had to form the UDP.  I believe that my track record speaks for itself.  I have worked for this party, I have made a commitment for this party and I have not even winked in terms of my commitment.  And Philip Goldson was not a UDP until the UDP was formed.”

“Is it of any concern to you what has been put out there by the leadership of the party that whatever decisions taken come October twentieth, are essentially null and void since it flouts whatever agreement has been put in place to keep the leader there until after the 2025 generals?”

“There is nowhere in the constitution of the party that says that the delegates don’t have the option to change their mind.  If twenty-five percent of the delegates sign a petition and say they want a national convention, a national convention shall be convened.”
