I am. I will conclude as I know others want to speak. In essence, real leadership is about having the courage to take on the vested interests and ask the real questions. When we are talking about playing the man or playing the ball, or playing both, there is something legitimate about that. However, if we are going to dig up the pitch just because last year's team did not win the league, that is foolish. Clearly, however, it is a done deal and we are going for the referendum. I agree with the referendum but not one that asks a flawed question based on political gimmickry.
