Inverness MLA Allan MacMaster was exceptionally gracious in victory Tuesday. Speaking to elated partisans after his slender win, he took care to mention his high regard for the three losing candidates: Liberal Ian McNeil, New Democrat Bert Lewis, and Green Nathalie Arsenault. I believe voters notice this, and remember it. Showing a generous spirit in victory is a mark of political professionalism, a mark of character, and surprisingly rare.
