But Faber and Panton persist under the UDP Banner and they're moving full steam ahead with their convention on October 20th. Barrow, however, says that's like him calling general elections early and inviting voters out.
Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition
"There is no national convention on October 20th. It's similar to me coming into the House and telling the Speaker you have to vacate those seats and I don't agree with your decision and I implore the media to be responsible. John Saldivar is not a member of the UDP, Patrick Faber is not a member of the UDP, Tracy Panton, not a member of the UDP so whatever activity or convention that they will be having is not a UDP convention, we have an elected party chairman, we have an elected leadership executive. No matter how long they were members, no matter how long they served in parliament, it doesn't give you the right. So what if I get up now on the adjournment and say, November 6th, we're going to have a general election and I invite everybody to come out, are you going to say, well if everybody comes out and vote for the UDP then you will be the prime minister, Shyne? It doesn't work like that, Marisol."
