So now as we turn the page on a week where politics has dominated the news….the only question that really hasn't been answered is when will the general elections be called? The UDP is riding the crest of three huge national election victories in six months - and hasn't lost an election since 2003. Now everyone knows the next general election is right around the corner, but that could be next month or next year. Which will it be? On Wednesday night, UDP's self styled ground commander Boots Martinez told the media that if he had his way it would be tomorrow:..
Jules Vasquez
"He said that you said the flag could only go up and reached the top, so when it hit the top, it start to come down. Is the UDP flag at the top and do they need to call elections ASAP?"
Hon. Anthony "Boots" Martinez, UDP Ground Commander
"In my view, the flag almost reach the top and when it reached the top, it's just a matter of how fast it could come down or how slow and so I think it almost reached the top and If I were the Prime Minister I would say let's go tomorrow for the election."
Jules Vasquez
"Mr. Prime Minister, your Ground Commander just said that if he were advising and I believe he is, he would tell you to call general elections tomorrow because the flag is right at the top of the pole."
Hon. Dean Barrow, UDP Leader
"He must be working for Francis. Is it nor Francis who says call the elections now?"
Jules Vasquez
"He think he has said that I haven't heard it."
Hon. Dean Barrow, UDP Leader
"You haven't heard it recently."
PUP Leader Francis Fonseca has said that despite the recent successive losses, he remains supremely confident that when a general election is called, his party will win.
