Athol Trollip has my support because he tells any party boss who tries to take the Democratic out of the Alliance to get lost - and if I know him, would have done so in robust terms.
This election is a contest between an untested sapling from the grow-your-own- timber nursery against a tree that has shown it does not bend. It is not a transformation test for the Parliamentary caucus: there are far stronger black MPs than the candidate.
It is also not an election for a campaigning post. It is a Parliamentary election in which lawmakers will want to choose as first among equals the leader who will best allow them to serve country, conscience and the Constitution - as we have all sworn to do.
I hope any MPs who feel pressurised will remember that their vote is their secret and their salary paid by the taxpayer, not the party.
