    its at 121 because of Hone and Banks (both of them together did not make enough to have 2 extra), so if the by election was held it is just to replace the Epsom seat, which we all know National will win,

    Kim Dotcom is like a dog with a bone at the moment with Banks, very pissed off he did not get want he wanted for his money, much like Owen Glen was after Winston failed to back up what was promised to him

    John Banks or that dimwit Brown ..... (Aucklanders, what a choice FFS!)

    John Banks .... goodbye to any chance of my ever voting for ACT.

    Conclusion: At least New Zealand always gets the government that it's electorate deserves .... fuck it!

    Banks was actually pretty good as Mayor I thought, just a little smug & rubs a few too many up the wrong way. Remember he did get voted back in after the Cereal king fell flat on his face!
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Bit like organised crime, there's always another one just as useless to take the vacancy... although unlike organised crime, they're not likely to be that organised
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Interestingly, one of only two mayors to regain office after being defeated, along with Sir Dove-Myer Robinson.

    People who don't vote can't complain.

    Yes that's true. A visionary he was, unfortunately surrounded by too many incompetent bafoons.

    The proportionality rules apply for the General Election only, not by-elections. Even if a current Nat list MP is elected in Epsom, the next on the list comes in to replace them.
