This was very good, but comes across a little like a spoilt child.  It's my ball and I'm not playing mentality. 

He could certainly turn out to be a game changer and I actually think his people power group has mileage, I know there have been a number of grass roots movements on the left aiming for something similar but without the financial backing and resources of people like Banks it will be harder for that to be achieved.

She's actually pretty terrible tbh.  Full of sound bytes, although much more capable than Dugdale.  Sturgeon routinley schools both at FMQ's.

Ruthie is indeed a media darling though.  Butthen they mostly have an agenda.
