Contraywise; I utterly despise the man. He's playing wooly-headed
fools like cheap fiddles, appealing to the mawkish sentimentalism that
resides in many breasts, playing them for all he's worth in his
personal pursuit of power.
He's a very good politician, but one who realised early on in his
political life he had no chance in the shark-infested pool of true
National Government, so decided to create a national platform of his
own that he could strut around on, and blare his hideous propaganda
from.

He is classic Labour: appeals to the worst side of people, makes
impossible promises and lies his buttocks off.

And holds his electorate in utter contempt.
