Rod Donald

It's Shocking news that Green co-leader Rod Donald has died of a heart attack after a chest infection at the age of just 48. He`ll be remembered for his work promoting MMP. He was also keen on STV as well. I had met him a couple of times and he struck me as a person who spoke his mind, was passioinate in what he believed in and played the ball, not the man. My last article I wrote about him in the media was in fact on STV.

This is a huge loss to the Green Party. It's also not a good way for Nandor Tanczos to get back into Parliament.
