Chaotic soft bear residing in Pōneke. She/her.
Are you working for Wellington City or the Minister of Transport mate.

Exactly.
She won handily, the people of Wellington liked her vision, she cracked on with it just the way she said she would, and a few people lost their whole entire minds.
I was really shocked by the efforts to sabotage her. It was so blatant and so undemocratic.

10 of the 16 Wellington City Councillors are Labour/Green, in a city that has two Green MPs, and Little has already leaned into the mediocre middle that the people Do Not Want.

And Matthews got more votes than Chung, so there's absolutely NO reason for Little to have favoured him (except to pander to the dickheads)

Yes! They accomplished so much despite all the attempts to sabotage Tory Whanau and her agenda.

Labour support a competent and talented wahine Māori politician over a mediocre aging Pākehā man from the old boys club? Never gonna happen.

Alex Baker and the actual clown were better options.

Just leaving this here. Andrew Little could have given Ray Chung the cold shoulder from day one. But oh no, he had to help out his bros. bsky.app/profile/bewa...
And he overlooked the very experienced Rebecca Matthews in favour of Chung and brand new right wing councillors like Karl the ice cream man. Five minutes into the job and he's done nothing but validate all my worst fears about him.

Enjoy saying I told you so to these chucklefucks for the next three years. You warned them.

Andrew Little has done nothing but demonstrate piss poor judgement since he's been sworn in.

I sincerely hope any of you who voted for him are feeling deeply fucking embarrassed.
