Wilson’s Auckland Power List

Simon Wilson has a power list of the top 25 in Auckland. Obviously very subjective, but here’s a few of his ratings:

• 1 Jacinda Ardern
• 2 Phil Goff
• 5 Desley Simpson
• 6 Sean Topham
• 7 Phil Twyford
• 8 Paula Bennett
• 10 Chloe Swarbrick
• 11 Matt Lowrie
• 12 Matthew Hooton
• 20 Winston Peters

A former YN Chair in his 20s more powerful than Labour’s Minister of Transport? Definitely more effective.

In terms of convincing people to vote for National, perhaps a tie between Topham and Twyford 🙂
