“I think it can be for the better; out of this can be an entirely stronger and more united force within the Democratic Labour Party going forward. It will rebound for the better,” Durant told the WEEKEND NATION. He said the DLP’s chances of winning the next general election, constitutionally due no later than March 2013, would not be affected.
