Feel bad for Max. He had such a good idea but because if Niko’s community, he has sort of gone unnoticed.

[@JohnHolywell]

Not really I have been keeping up with both series and his is completely original. He's been smart with it he's set up a realistic target of beating another candidate who has similar popularity as him in Laurence Fox and I voted for him because I wanted him to win in the Fox vs Fosh battle.
