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 🙂
