I'm just an idea guy.
When I first started getting involved with [grass roots
politics], I didn't understand the concept of no leaders.
I thought I did; but I didn't. And I'd go up to the
nearest alpha male or alpha female and say, "Here's what
you should do - Why don't you do this - It'd be great if
you all did this - And when are you going to do this?"
And they'd give you this look, that I never understood,
which was kind of ...
I think, "Weird". And I'd go up to the next alpha, "When
are you going to do this - It'd be great if you did this
- Why haven't you done this yet - Why don't you do this
- It'd be wonderful if you did this?" And again, they'd
give me this look, like ...
And after a year, the penny dropped, and I finally
realised what that look meant, because they won't tell
you, because that would be hierarchical, right? What this
look meant was, "Yes, good Idea, why don't you do it
yourself? You print the leaflets, I'll distribute them;
you call a meeting, I'll attend; you organise an action,
we'll come along".
And from that moment, I realised that, my whole
philosophical outlook changed. And from then on, instead
of suggesting things other people could do, I stopped
suggesting things all-together, in-case they expected me
to do them..." - Robert Newman

He still won his primary but you can join to help defeat him in the general election.
