"You are one week away from elections. Like you keep mentioning any number can play and there is the possibility that your party might not be victorious come next week. If this is the last interview we are having with you as the Prime Minister of Belize, what would be your message to the Belizean people?"
Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"Certainly, my message to you is that I am going out smiling. I don't think I am going out at all. But if I am, I am going out smiling. I've always had I think an excellent relationship with the media. From time to time, there is a little bit of pestiness in our back and forth, but that is perhaps as it should be. It shows that there is no powder puffing from your side and where I am concern while 9 times out of 10 I will be nothing but gracious - every so often you know how it is. A little of asperity will kick in. But no, I have thoroughly enjoyed my interaction with the press, with the media. I've been challenged. It's been something that has meant that I have to think quickly. I have to react in a sharper manner as possible. I've been kept on my toes and I've been delighted in the exchange. In terms of the Belizean public, if I don't come back - thank you. Again, it's been a wonderful ride. It's been full of ups and downs, but at the end of the day, I feel that my government has achieve a great deal for the people of this country."
