"While you said that you're not really certain in some sort of a litmus test - I mean genuinely and realistically speaking, doesn't it and because of you being a seasoned politician, don't you think it speaks wonders in terms of Mr. Briceno's political career or influence actually up north."
Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"As I said, I thought we could move forward in unit and I don't want to be critical of the leader of the opposition. All I will say is, it is clear that he was conflicted. First he was yes and then it appeared he was maybe and then in the end he was no. I wonder if that might not have played a role in terms of his own Orange Walk Central constituency."
The "No" vote was strongest in Cordel Hyde's Lake Independence.
