On the ground campaigning continues
Campaigning doesn't stop for the rain!
Rain or shine, our campaign team is out every weekend pushing the 'two ticks for Labour' message. Pictured here are a slightly wet, but very dedicated team of Arna, Conor, Patrick, myself, Sam, and his daughter after a very soggy afternoon on Tiraumea Drive. Thanks to the local dairy owner for the space by his shop and efforts with the camera.
The more the campaign advances, the more I am certain that face to face contact with voters is the best way to communicate our messages and convince people of the importance of re-electing a Labour government. While the opposition campaign seems to be relying on short, populist messages, we have the harder job of explaining 6 years of achievements and describing a vision for the future.
In any case, I enjoy the chance to actually speak one on one with residents, and so far the response has been really positive. Most people are just happy to see a candidate front up. We'll be continuing to make our way through the electorate so look out for us at a dairy near you!

You look like a Cub Six. Is that a subtle billboard under the table?
Labour | Wood
Nothing very subtle about us...
Seriously, I'd recommend that more political activists actually get out and talk to people on the campaign trail. You get a far better sense of where people are at than you do from spending all your time debating with other political types on the internet!
I do get out - I earn my living every day - I'm not in a Trade Union sinecure. Guess you got the point Labour is Wood
Sorry I haven't got out to Pakuranga yet... I want to, but sundays are unfortunately a good day to work
Now worries Stephen, there are plenty of Saturday expeditions planned! We'll get you out on to the streets of Pakuranga yet :-)
