As you've seen in the clips we've shown you of Friday's house sitting, the Barrow Administration - with the passage of the ninth - has the swagger and bearing of a prizefighter primed for a world championship bout.
So, with all that swagger and momentum generated by the determination to push on through with the ninth, will the UDP call an early, snap election?
We first asked that question last night based on rumors and the Prime Minister's leading statements in the house. Today we put it squarely to the man who calls himself the UDP's Ground Commander. He basically said, that nothing would please him more:..
Jules Vasquez
"You are called the ground commander for your party, there are rumors about that the elections will be held early. As the ground commander I would imagine you would know of such a thing. Is there such an eventuality?"
Hon. Anthony Boots Martinez
"Well I don't know but in my humble opinion I wish the election would be tomorrow."
Jules Vasquez
"Why is that?"
Hon. Anthony Boots Martinez
"Because the government is on a roll, the people are with the government, if you notice."
Jules Vasquez
"Maybe they are rolling downhill."
Hon. Anthony Boots Martinez
"Well that is in my view, your determination. But I am seeing that the PUP are rolling down hill, I know the UDP are rolling up hill. If you notice that at the end of the day, even support for the 9th Amendment, it just to show up, in Belmopan on Friday was over whelming in terms of supporters of the United Democratic Party."
