Confidently declaring, “We will win the next election!”, Stuart said while victory may be theirs “for the taking”, it would demand hard work, discipline, sacrifice, clarity of purpose and an unfailing commitment to duty.  

Calling to mind the words of Roman poet Virgil, “possunt quia posse videntur” – “we can because we think we can” – Stuart said such a winning mindset must be their weapon to rout their adversaries.

He also said some had misinterpreted the DLP’s silence as a sign of inactivity and “unreadiness”.
