Except in this case where you are convinced the new candidate will be hand picked by Hellens iron fist.

How come you’re still here then Phil? Because one did in 1999 – Coromandel.

no..it is multi-cultural..to quite a wonderful degree..

..my immediate neighbors are muslim and pacific islanders..

..(and i couldn’t ask for better neighbors..)..

..and mt albert has that lively/alive ponsonby pre-gentrification feel about it..

..i moved here from freemans bay..

..that hotspot of uptight wasps..

..multi-cultural mt albert is much ‘better’ than ‘gentrified’..freemans bay..

..eh..?

Perhaps morons of the world should unite in support of ‘our’ Jacob.

Mt Albert a Labour stronghold? Isn’t it becoming more gentrified. Party Vote last time was Labour 42.5% vs Nat 35.7%.

..as anti-nader as i am..(for begatting/inflicting bush upon us..

..by splitting the democrartic vote..)

a mt albert bye-election would be a perfect place for a strong green candidate..

..it won’t be election-result-changing..

..and will/would be a perfect opportunity for the people to send a strong green message/imperative..

..to this (highway-junkie/resource-managment-act-gutting) national government..

..and hey..!..as for who that candidate should be..?

..well..nandor has had enough of a ‘rest’..eh.?

..and vibrant/multi-cultural mt albert would just love to have nandor as their local mp..

..(um..!..there are second chapters..nandor..!

.. eh..?

..and hey..!

..imagine how ‘sweet’ it wd be..?

..eh..?..)

oh..!..still..!.. my beating heart..!

Look at the leadership and the choices for female co-leader after biddy Fitzsimons: a Marxist radical social control freak, architect of the anti-smacking law, who used to stand for some revolutionary “People’s Network”; and an outright anarchist who used to stand for the McGillicuddy Serious Party…..? Heck, there are more MP’s in the mainstream parties who are truly about caring for the environment.

“Hmmm. Time for a strong Green candidate in that electorate methinks.

Yeah, splitting the left-wing vote to give the seat to National is the kind of brilliant strategic thinking that got Labour and the Greens where they are today.”

DPF, can you set up the system so we can give you karma for your editorial comments: that one deserves a good lot of thums-up……!

i’ve whoar-ed you..

[DPF: No Head Office has three votes, the electorate has three and the meeting gets one vote]

i find myself in agreement with toad..

[DPF: If I was an MP, I would make sure I knew the eligibility requirements to remain an MP very well, and I would definitely get advice before I become a citizen of another country]

That’s an oxymoron.

By definition, all Green Party candidates are soft in the head, mildly deranged, speak nonsense, worship a mythical Gaia, and dress shabbily. Therefore, a “strong candidate” for the Luddites is an impossibility.

Yeah, splitting the left-wing vote to give the seat to National is the kind of brilliant strategic thinking that got Labour and the Greens where they are today.

If Twford was elected and as a result , Tizard took HIS place it might be possible the average Mt Albert voter would see a connection.
That Helens leaving could cause a butterfly to drop out of the sky in Australia could happen too.

A new version of politics is about., NP win the general election but are STILL bitter and twisted.
Did someone say haters and wreckers

[DPF: You really don't get the difference between coincidence and direct consequence do you? Most people who have finished school can work it out.]

What, would happen if NZ first won Mt Albert?

There would be one NZF MP, and Labour would have one fewer MPs.

Just curious, is it even possible for NZ first to stand?

Basically, any New Zealand citizen, 18+, enrolled to vote, not currently in prison for a three-year stretch, who can get two registered voters in the electorate to nominate them, and pony up with the $300 deposit, can stand.
