Two more public Curia polls
September 28th, 2007 at 12:15 pm by David FarrarCuria has had two more local government polls published by media organisations.
The Northern Advocate, Bay Report and Northland Age have published their poll for the Far North Mayoralty, which reveals Wayne Brown is narrowly ahead of incumbent Yvonne Sharp, but it is close.
Less close is the Wanganui Chronicle poll, which Laws Watch has scanned a table from in. Michael Laws is well in the lead.
I did declare to the Editor a potential conflict that Michael got me arrested 13 years ago, but that I was now well over it:-)
Not that I would anyway ever let personal views interfere with providing the best professional service I can.
Interestingly Laws had commissioned his own poll, and the topline results are very similiar.
We’ve also done polling for a number of mayoral candidates (never in the same area as one we are polling for a newspaper) so come election night on the 13th I’ll be following a dozen races with professional interest.

A plague on your house DPF – the last thing Wanganui needs is another three years of His Worship, Mayor Michael.
Hopefully your poll, and the subsequent front page story in this morning’s Wanganui Chronicle will galvanise the fine folk of this wonderful city to get out in force and consign the Eyelined One to the pages of history!
Meantime, you could always look here

How many mayoral candidates star in their own silent movies?

If only your earlier hoax were true…
Well, OK, maybe not. But I think anyone and I mean ANYONE who has ever met Laws has probably wished similar things.

After that anti gang march Laws is looking pretty good.
But what is his interest in Wanganui
Part time dictator ??
