Divided right

-

Various opinion writers have been saying Auckland voters were confused because there were three right-wing candidates for mayor. I wasn't confused.

Mark Thomas had mentioned the deteriorat­ing parks and reserves early in his candidacy. I had been concerned about invasive species of weeds getting out of hand in regional parks since the old council decided to save money in that area. I gave him my vote even though it was a lost cause.

Other people may have supported candidates for their own reasons. The candidates had different positions on lots things that weren't right wing issues or left wing issues.
