But that probably wasn't on the agenda this weekend when the PUP went for a special retreat. Now, we know, when you hear the words "PUP" and "retreat" you probably think of lifestyle guru Tony Quinn and Caye Chapel back in 2006 - but this weekend's session wasn't anything as posh as that. The party met at a Leslie's Farm at mile fifty one and a half on the Western Highway.
According to a release 125 persons attended including members of the National Executive, Standard Bearers, parliamentarians, businesspersons, members of constituency executive committee and party supporters.
The release says the retreat was to kick off its campaign planning for the next general election with a full day working session.
The release quotes, Party Leader, Francis Fonseca, as saying that he wanted to hear, quote, "frank views (on) the challenges facing the party, (and) recommendations, arising after vigorous debate, as to the strategies required in taking the party to victory."
From here, the party will quote, craft its plan of action for the upcoming general elections."
And so where does the kumbaya come in? Well, the picture says it all - and we note that it shows former leader John Briceno falling right in behind leader Francis Fonseca - after he missed the last meeting. After this soul searching session it is left to be seen if the party still chooses to preserve the status quo - coming off resounding defeats in two elections this year.
