Opposition leader Faber held a press conference to name his shadow Cabinet - which will trace and comment on the actions of the real cabinet ministers.
It's a group of 15 more notable for the names that got left off the list - names such as Saldivar, Contreras, Montero, Castro, Marin, and Heredia - veteran UDP's who lost big in the lats election.
Faber says his party got the memo form the electorate:
Hon. Patrick Faber, Leader of the Opposition
"We try to listen to what message the people sent on election day, they said listen we want a party that is vibrant, we want a party that is energized, we want to see some fresh new faces, we want greater ideas from you. As a party there are things that you need to put in check. There are things that you need to re-work to re-engage and that is what we've done and I will say this on the public stage this afternoon - rebuilding this party is not going to be an easy task. In fact as we move forward there are some who of course may not be happy about some of the decisions that we make, but everybody is not going to be happy and you notice that there is a mix of the old and the new. That is the formula by which we will rebuild this party. It would be ridiculous of us in the leadership of this party to just decide to thorw everything away. That is what some would want, but I'm not there. I want to make that we pull from everywhere to make this party as strong as it can be and that is really the recipe that we use to put together these names. Will they later on be candidates for this party? some of them I hope so. Some of them have absolutely no interest in doing so."
