Super City Picks

Matt McCarten has finally got his website up for which SuperCity candidates to back.

As Rodney Hide has forced the Auckland mayor, Council and Local Boards to be less-democratic First Past the Post elections, Progressives need to vote in a block – we don’t want Banks’ C&R (ie National) candidates to squeeze through the middle.  So if you haven’t voted yet, here’s some good suggestions to coalesce around.

I’ve heard a leading pollster has described this as a “class war” election.  Len Brown most definitely has the most supporters, but they are the poorer, less-likely-to-vote types.  John Banks has well-heeled voters who will support him.  So it’s vital we push hard to Get Out The Vote.

Matt McCarten had intended to have this up a few days ago to catch this weekend’s voters, and to have consulted more with others on the choices, but he has a very good excuse in having been in hospital – I think we’ll forgive him for that!  As such he hasn’t got local board suggestions up yet either – hopefully he’ll still get to add them.

Anyway, if you’ve been waiting to see who to vote for to support Len: read it.
