And perhaps the reason Leader of the Opposition Barrow is willing to throw caution to the wind is because his Party Leader is gently rubbing salt on his wound by refusing to take a position on the 11th amendment.
That's the controversial constitutional amendment that would bar anyone who has been convicted and served more than a year in jail from serving in the House of Representatives.
Faber has been publicly non-comital on this proposed amendment which has been criticised as ad hominem legislation to get Shyne Barrow out of the house.
Today, Shyne said his own party leader is using the amendment against him:
Hon. Shyne Barrow, Leader of the Opposition
"He is weaponizing the 11th amendment. He has told me that he doesn't believe a convicted criminal should be in parliament and I quote and I challenge you to ask him whether or not he told me that and that is going to unify the party? That is going to move the party forward? That is healing? That is an olive branch? He is offering an olive branch with one hand and sticking you in your stomach with the other hand. This is quintessential Patrick Faber and this is why we don't want him, the majority of us don't want his as leader."
