I was talking about the media in general. Should have changed "comments" to "commentary", really.

Good, because if I must be uncharitable sans chocolate, the results could be dire. I'll leave it to the media.

I didn't realise he was already 67. It's a perfectly normal retirement age, and it's far enough from the next elections so that the party won't be as wrecked as it could have been.

That's pretty much how I feel. I don't think there's much more to it than him wanting to retire before the election cycle starts kicking in.

My mind is still struggling with how civilised the Greens were about the transition of power - I guess they didn't feel the need to leak to the media in order to prop up one faction or other. It's almost like they're grown-ups.
