Why Doesn't Shyne Flex With Show Of Maximum Support?
posted (October 23, 2024)
And while Shyne Barrow has fire and fury for all those who oppose him - rather than warring with words, why doesn't he bring out his own pro-shine crowd and show the support of those thousands of UDP's who he says support his leadership.

We challenged him to do that:

Jules Vasquez
"What usually happens is that, "oh, you think you could put on ground. Let me show you a crowd!" That's how it works. When one group is on the attack, they pull out their supporters and they say, this is a UDP crowd. You haven't done that. You haven't indicated that you will do it. I challenge you that you can't do it."

Shyne Barrow, Leader -UDP
"Well, I did it last year. I did it last year. You're not going to tell me they had even as much."

Jules Vasquez
"But my point is, Mr. Barrow, that what happens in a normal course here is, you organize a counter mass party event to show who is the true UDP. Will you do that?"

Shyne Barrow, Leader -UDP
"Those people are not a mass party."

Jules Vasquez
"Yes, but those supporters, sir. Those are indelible, irreversible, unchangeable UDP's."

Shyne Barrow, Leader -UDP
"And I respect everybody's opinion and everybody's right to assemble. But we are not competing with the Alliance for Democracy party."

Jules Vasquez
"But those are your supporters."

Shyne Barrow, Leader -UDP
"I don't believe that those supporters are necessarily gone. I believe that as a matter of constituency by constituency."
