Ever since Friday's pivotal house meeting there's been talk about an early election - possibly as early as December, some suggest.
Now, it's just a rumour - and there's absolutely no official confirmation but with the opposition in its splintered state, and Government having been battered by the ninth amendment process - there's certainly an air of possibility,
And the prime minister alluded to the possibility of an early election at Friday's house sitting as he addressed the decimated opposition bench.
PM Dean Barrow
"Notice one thing you remember they were starting with a thing lately, every time they finish making their speech and going on about how things are bad, they would say call the elections now. I notice you never said call the elections now this time. And of course we can't call it now because the Belizean people feels so sorry for you all and they will feel like we are taking advantage of you all if we call the elections now, because you all are in such a shambles, you all are so hopeless and worthless - that again our democratic instrinks prevent us from calling the election now. I say we are not going to call it now, I never say we will not going to call it next month or the month after or the month after."
