Labour Party Party Meddling in Auckland Local Body Elections

News tonight that Auckland City Mayoral Candidate, Dr John Hinchcliffe has been leaned upon by very senior Labour Party members in Wellington to step aside from his candidacy to enable encumbent Hubbard a clear run at securing all the votes on the left, has enraged other candidates of the left persuasion.

This is Clark at her most manipulative. Only she did not figure Hinchcliffe going public. The email to Hinchcliffe, revealed on TV's One News could only be described as threatening.

This will do Labour no good.

Those of us on the Right can only grin.

The MSM has no links up as yet.
