Winston confirms candidacy for Tauranga

Winston has finally confirmed what we all know – he is standing for Tauranga:

… today we are talking about a comeback.

Not a comeback aimed at personal glory but a comeback aimed at righting the wrongs of the last three years of an incompetent incumbent.

An incumbent frightened of a rematch – he has run scared.

He has embarrassed the people of Tauranga for three years and has delivered nothing.

This is a comeback which will bring hope to Tauranga again.

This will be very interesting. He seems to still be campaigning against Bob Clarkson rather than his actual opponent of Simon Bridges.

Now you have to ask yourselves one simple question – who has been the real MP for Tauranga over the past three years.

Who has delivered – just as he said he would?

In many ways I have never stopped being the MP for Tauranga.

Well yes he has apart from the fact he moved out of the electorate, now lives in Auckland and also closed down his Tauranga office. Minor details the good people of Tauranga may recall.

Who will deal with the revolting scourge of gangs – wrecking their p-crazed violence and havoc on innocent New Zealanders?

Tauranga is not immune from this scourge. We need a voice of experience and strength.

We need a leader who can look these criminals in the eye and not flinch.

Wow, sounds like we need someone who say has been a crown prosecutor!
