Sulky Trevor Needs to Wise Up

I have a slight liking of the Greens. You have to like them a bit, even if you're not mad on their policies. I mean they were formed by a load of hippy types, who disavowed politics such as we know it, they're pretty ramshackle in their organisation and yet they keep going. And in fairness they have managed to shift the agenda, somewhat to the left in many areas. They have even developed a little bit of organisational and political nous.

The country seems ready to have a Green Party in Coalition. We were ready to give them the necessary votes and transfers to make them king makers and then Trevor opens his gob. Young Trevor has given out about not being allowed on the shows like the Late Late and Tubridy Tonight prior to the election. Now this kind of huff has worked in the past with Podge and Rodge, but it's all getting a bit whiny now. Instead of sounding like a leader, he is merely drawing attention to the fact that the National Broadcaster (such as it is) do not take his party seriously.

Surely someone else could have made these comments if they had to be made. Try to leave the leader with just a smidgeon of dignity.
