I MAY not like all the party leaders or trust all the party leaders.

I may think some of their projections and pledges misguided and dislike their evasion, negativity and scaremongering.

But I do admire their stamina, commitment, resilience and self-belief.

And at the end of a long and hard-fought campaign I reckon they've given it their best shot.

So, a qualified "well done".

Their stamina and energy leaves me wabbit but still looking forward to the wee sma' hours of friday morning.
