        • ‘Just to reinforce what my fellow contributor said, we’re non-partisan – but we definitely have our own points of view and intend to be clear about that. I don’t identify with or belong to any party – but I have strong opinions and I doubt anyone would want to read a sopping wet blog that sat on the fence. (excluding members of the Labour Party obviously… ) This blog is broadly about keeping an eye on local govt and the goings on in and around Wellington. We will call out stupidity, nonsense and the great things we see regardless of who or what body says it. We also now have multiple contributors and as you have probably gathered, we have our own differing perspectives and this will come through more and more. ’
        • ‘Jolly good, thanks for replying. There’s so few sources for local body politics information, and it’s important to know that the theme is non-partisan. ’
        • ‘Good question! No. Let’s have a look at the quote in question… “The city and the council need good leadership and some decisiveness and some action. We’re the centre of the region, so we should be leading the pack, not following.” This is not a matter of ideology – its just basic leadership. No doubt in the coming months John Morrison, and the other mayoral candidates, will announce their policies. Then we’ll be able to take a proper look at what they are promising, and judge them accordingly. For the time being, I don’t think wanting decisive leadership is a particularly right-wing trait. ’
