In the space of a few paragraphs you managed to describe yourself as both a "loudly crowing rooster" and a "big brown Dalmatian from Kaitaia". If you want a national example of that kind of leadership you don’t have to look far. We don’t need a stadium act. We don’t need half the crowd cheering one corner and the other half cheering the other. Just the two of us in the ring, and a referee in case one of us starts to bleed.
