And that constitution could be coming up for wholesale changes - we asked if they plan to expand the pool of divisional delegates which currently stands at about 500 total for all 31 divisions.
Tracy Panton, Leader of the Opposition
"We will have constitutional reform for the party. It will not be done in a piecemeal approach. It will be done through comprehensive consultation with the constituencies and with the stakeholders of the party."
Jules Vasquez
"One of the greatest needs and the PUP did this right after 2008, when they went through their reconstruction, and is to expand the pool of the delegates to get the delegates awarded per 100 votes received. Is this something that you would wish to do because we know with 16 per constituency, it's open to a lot of corruption and manipulation."
Tracy Panton, Leader of the Opposition
"Representation is important to us in the United Democratic Party, and so we will entertain all proposals that seek to widen the representation of those who have a say in our party's affairs."
Of course, like one of those things that just won't go away, Shyne Barrow's UDP remains active and just a few minutes ago issued a release saying quote, "The meeting held on Saturday April 5, 2025 by Tracy Panton and others was not a UDP National Party Council meeting."
That faction has called an executive meeting for Saturday - and the dance continues.
