And finally tonight, we asked UDP Leader Shyne Barrow for his reaction to the political perceptions poll released last week. It was commissioned by Lord Ashcroft and executed by Viking strategies and it did not show the UDP leader in a flattering light. We asked him for a reaction today:
Jules Vasquez "You are one of the most poorly perceived politicians in the country, according to this poll. One of the most disliked, I think, your rank was 34 of 36."
Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition "What credibility does that have? I saw people bashing that, saying that it had no credibility. So I don't know what credibility it has."
Jules Vasquez "So how do you feel about being on that poll, one of the least liked politicians in the country?"
Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition "Politics is fluid, changes every day. We continue to work hard in each constituency to improve relations with the electorate."
Jules Vasquez "You know, you were the only politician in which the word Association actually produced a curse word. That has not hurt you, sir. Mrs. Ashcroft, I thought he was one of your supporters."
Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition "I don't allow any external things to penetrate my state of mind and the work that I have to do. I know the interaction that I have with the Belizean people when I travel all across the country. And it is not consistent with whatever poll has been released. And that poll is not gospel. Michael Ashcroft may be Lord Ashcroft, but he's not God. So, you know, we continue on."
