My ritual election year visit to true blue Merivale Mall today revealed a doomy vibe as if the Bolshevik hordes were already through the gates.The usual brutish surety was nowhere to be seen.

Campaign launches.

National Party campaign launch. Crowd clumped in the middle of a large auditorium. Masses of empty seats.

Labour Party campaign launch. Medium sized auditorium, every single seat taken.

The worst thing about this local govt amalgamation "pause" is how few local body politicians had the guts to stand up to central govt bullying and being used as yet another distraction from the massive incompetence of the Coalition.
