Manji vs Brownlee

Stuff reports:

Christchurch City councillor Raf Manji says he has the support of National Party voters in Ilam and believes he can beat incumbent Gerry Brownlee in this year’s general election.

Yeah because what Ilam voters want is an MP who has no influence with anyone.

“I’ve spoken to a lot of National voters who have persuaded me that, yes, they would support me, so I think it’s do-able.

People are often polite to your face – does not mean they will vote for you.
