Some of my moves as AMPP were inspired by reading a biography of Michael Joseph Savage, particularly fancying myself a politician while living in my squalid digs. The New Zealand Labour Party was built by guys living in garages and guest rooms. Back then, being an MP wasn't a well-paid gig. The recent Whakamana gig was also inspired by Savage, who was a keen musician and dancer that performed during meetings and such.
