And while Barrow says he will be guided by the members, really should he even be at the top of the UDP hierarchy? First off, didn't he resign on March 18th? Well, he rescinded that by and was back by April 24th.
Second, doesn't a UDP leader have to be a member of parliament? Well, of course he would argue that and he did today:
Jules Vasquez
"One thinks that you would have to seek a compromise. We know that according to the Constitution of the UDP and according to precedent, you have no standing as leader because you are not in the parliament, Hugo Patt, according to the Constitution, should be the leader."
Shyne Barrow, Leader - UDP
"Unless the Constitution is changed, you are right. I will not be able to run again. And if my colleagues see it fit to change the Constitution, then I will continue to serve as leader if they are so inclined to vote for me as leader."
"We may, now that the decision has been rendered. Hugo Patt is in a much better position to not be pressured by Tracy. They have no standing."
