Labour looking to seize Wellington back from the Greens

The Herald reports:

Former Labour leader Andrew Little has confirmed he is considering a tilt at the Wellington mayoralty.

This means he is standing. I have little doubt he would crush Whanau. Little would at least be a competent Mayor. However I’m not sure Little would bring the fiscal discipline to Council that is so badly needed. 20% rates increases are obscene.

But this is all part of a plan by Labour to cease back the capital from The Greens. They will be standing very high profile candidates in Rongotai and Wellington Central to try and knock off Julie Anne Genter and Tamatha Paul also.
