Michael Miltenberger Compares Running for #NWT premier to Running for Pope

[excerpt.. free login required]

Thebacha MLA Michael Miltenberger is gearing up for what he said is even more stressful than an election campaign - running for premier.
Equating the process to the papal conclave at the Vatican where cardinals meet in St. Peter's Basilica to select the new pope, Miltenberger said the new assembly must gather in their own dome, spending three weeks together hammering out priorities, learning roles and taking each other's measure in a confined space.

"The intensity levels ratchet up as we go along, and the temperature rises," Miltenberger told The Journal. "There's a smaller number of people (than during the election for MLA), you're in a confined space for hours together for days. There's politics, priorities, personal agendas, it's very fluid."
