I live within the Prosser electorate, and I thought .. ‘what a motley bunch of uninspiring candidates there is to vote for!’
This election challenges me not to vote informal, but I will vote formally because I want to ensure that the dubious Bryan Green finds his destined way to the bottom rung of my ticket, and hopefully everyone’s ballot!
