GET A GRIP PEOPLE

John Key endorsed John Banks for Super City Mayor and deeply wounded the usual suspects. Get over yourself people - Key just made a cute introduction to Banks who was at a meeting Key was about to address. Just the usual pollie flattering another pollie by calling him a Super Mayor

The Mayors of the North Shore and Rodney, Andrew Williams and Penny Webster, would be far better off giving their citizens  some idea of alternative structures that would work. The Big City IS coming. Put a bit of energy into getting it right, fair and democratic.

This meaningless whining is exactly why Auckland the way it is now doesn't work and never will.
