I certainly hope not. I think Nandor has done the Green Party, and the left in NZ in general, an enormous disservice. It would be a pity if his riduculous dreds did for the image of the Linux what they are doing for the NZ left. Don't get me wrong, I can't put my finger on a single thing that he says that I would have any fundamental disagreement with. I like his ideas far more than any other politician outside the Greens, and the Greens far more than anyone else. I just think that he is the reason the Greens will always be a -10% party as opposed to a +15%. Its all about the packaging - something Linux people (companies) are beginning to realise...?
