Bradley is clearly on the pull of current events right now, and is sharpening his public profile - but while he may be trending - will he be running in the next general election - and where?
Though he aspires to lead the UDP, the once beaten twice shy politician he has been elusive about where he might run. Jules Vasquez tried to nail him down on this one last night - and he had no answer:
Jules Vasquez
"But right now, with the game setup right now, you cannot win a constituency Mr. Bradley because you don't play by the rules."
Darrell Bradley - UDP Senator
"I think to a certain extent and you're asking me a question, I think it is a fair question in terms of politics there are certain practical realities but my response to this maybe it's not answering the question but it's not about winning..."
Jules Vasquez
"It's all about winning! Political parties exist to win elections senator."
Darrell Bradley
"I think that political parties have won, we've seen a change in government but still we have not seen the kind of change that we want in the country, so who really wins?"
Jules Vasquez
"You individually as a candidate are not electable for the reasons we have discussed."
Darrell Bradley
"I will answer this question this way, there's a difference between losing an election, you make a big leap, which is your flaw, you make a big leap from losing an election to un-electability because you use that word and that is not accurate, that's actually a big jump."
Jules Vasquez
"Where would you be electable sir?"
Darrell Bradley
"You're asking me a question about elect-ability and I'm saying to you that that I'm deliberately dodging the question because I don't think that is an important question."
Jules Vasquez
"That is an important question because you have a vision. Let's say I love your vision senator, I love this utopia vision of a Belize liberated from the shackles of this money politics, this patronage politics."
Darrell Bradley
"I won't go into what you are saying, I'm saying there needs to be specific change."
Jules Vasquez
"Where do I vote for you? I want to vote for you, where can I vote for that vision, that's what I want to vote for you, where can I vote for that? Weh paat to do it?"
Darrell Bradley
"I don't know at this present moment."
Jules Vasquez
"You're funny, you're a good man, you got me the laugh."
