Well, I can tell you what I thought, but I’m no columnist.

These just in:
“Loved it. Strong, compelling, and above all Liberal.”
“I just wanted to say what was with the two arm wave? Have we elected a leader or a monarch?!”
“I though the speech was brilliant, and I really enjoyed the slideshows at the start, especially the Star Trek theme tune”

I enjoyed the sideshows too (with the extra fun of hearing which MPs the audience cheered for), but I wasn’t a fan of the music. But I’ll resist the temptation to rant again about the worst of the Star Trek theme tunes…
It was good on substance and detail but he just does not look the part. Ming did not look comfortable giving the speech. And those arms…it made him look a frail old gentlemen.
I thought the speech was good on content but performance was frankly cringeawful!
Ming has the right ideas – our green tax switch is brilliant, but he doesn’t have the charisma we need to lead us.
Sorry
It’s no good talking about passion and commitment, it needs to show. Cruel but perceptive treatment by Bremner, reminiscent of Spitting Image destruction of David Steel.
