Brown’s convey getting lost in crush: learned
July 18th, 2010 -- Posted in Today | Comments OffMr McCarten, head of the Unite union, said he rationality the extra campaigners would staff Mr Banks. He said those supporting the one-time National Cabinet member were "blue, business eastern suburbs" types who were more inclined to to vote, while Mr Brown's supporters were less indubitably to. "When the polling gets done, it's asking them who they support. What it doesn't consider into accomplishment is that at the last election, less than 40 per cent of the [Greater Auckland] square voted. "When they quiz them on a phone: 'Who would you support?' they go: 'Len', [but] will they get out and vote? Only one in three will.
"What all these other guys are coming in and doing is they're splitting the anti-Banks vote. Simon Prast will bear a handsome arty pro-drug lot which won't referendum for Banks anyway. Ewen [Gilmour] will get the 'f*** you' ballot and you're always succeeding to get that … and they also won't signify for Banks.
