This could go either way …

Old people who look backwards;
People who complain a lot and want a complainer to represent them

Also: a split vote on the anti-Mike Lee front.

LDR reporters are good, not into clickbait.
The places that publish their stuff? Widely variable.

Some of the ActLocal local board results could change when the final tallies are done - 2 are sitting just below the cut-off point.

Wayne Brown’s Fix Auckland ticket? Ditto.
1 candidate from 2 in Albany; his backed candidate in North Shore ward lost; the 2 in Manukau came 5th and 6th, & lost their local board back-up plan.
Desley Simpson was re-elected unopposed, but that was nothing to do with Brown or his ticket

Auckland is a region of tickets. But also: people who put in the work get re-elected - Josephine Bartley, Richard Hills etc.

ActLocal was spectacularly unsuccessful, winning only 1 seat on the Ōrākei local board.
That’s
0/5 councillors and
1/14 local board members

Ditto.one

Yup.
Also, Wayne Brown’s Fix Auckland ticket was pretty unsuccessful. His deputy, Desley Simpson was re-elected unopposed and that had nothing to do with Brown or her ticket; one candidate from 2 in Albany; his backed candidate in North Shore ward lost; the two in Manukau came 5th and 6th

I take that back: one seat on the Ōrākei local board, in amongst the C&R domination

Can’t believe the west votes Ken Turner when there’s a perfectly good alternative in Linda Cooper 🙄

But apart from the light rail fiasco and selecting Do-Nothing Goff?

MollyByGolly @mollymoo.bsky.social · 1d

What did the Labour Party do when Goff was Mayor? Or do you mean the central govt?
