Interesting here , that the Nz herald ( known as a conserative newspaper ) interprets voters as wanting more roads , yet in the last local body election , people voted overwhelmingly for candiates supporting public transport over roads .
It will be interesting to see what tact the 2 major parties take to woo voters . It will be also interesting to see if the green party can turn support for public transport into votes for them . they are currently polling 5 -7 % ( 5% is the threshold to get into parliament ) , an issue like this could easily pick them up another 5 % support .
