ACT New Zealand Mt Albert Candidate John Boscawen today advised Mt Albert National Party supporters to give him their vote, following revelations that they are now considering voting tactically in order to keep Labour out of the seat.
“TV3 last night reported that Mt Albert National supporters are now looking for any way to ensure that Labour’s David Shearer does not become their local MP,” Mr Boscawen said.
“Mt Albert National supporters need to know that their views and concerns will be properly represented in Parliament. As the only centre right candidate in the race, I am the only person who can ensure this.
“While I understand that the last thing Mt Albert residents need is David Shearer as their MP, voting for the Green Party candidate is a dangerous tactic that will only strengthen Labour’s hand in Parliament.
“Mt Albert voters know that high expenditure and a ‘borrow and hope’ strategy – typical of Labour – will only make this recession worse. A vote for the Greens is a vote for Labour – a vote for me is a vote for commonsense and real representation,” Mr Boscawen said.
