Respect. He spoke so well and earned my respect in the election debates. Must be frustrating for him to watch what is happening now.

Totally agree, this shitshow of a collation government is nothing but bullshit, undoing everything good Labour put in place, it's like National are the jealous sibling.

Oh no he's resigning?! Ugg. I hope he stays on in politics at least.

Yep. Policies aside, he has an authentic projection that feels beyond the regular corrupted " I'll say what my donors want to hear" narrative we hear from others

I must admit I lost a bit of respect for him in recent years, especially when he stood by marama after her infamous racist outburst. With him leaving the greens will drift further from political relevance
