And while that was the scene outside this morning, inside the House, the business just finished about 15 minutes ago. After an 8 hour debate on the Belize Territorial Dispute Referendum Bill - the Prime Minister wrapped it up - and then called for a division on the vote - meaning each member had to say "yea or ney" individually.
Courtesy of LOVE TV we cut to the voting from the PUP side - and the wrap up by the speaker:
That one abstention by Musa is considered a victory for the UDP. They take that into Monday's meeting of the Senate when they hope that they can get the same from Senator Valerie Woods, who is - like Musa - publicly in favour of yes to the ICJ. We'll have coverage of that on Monday.
