Waikato Region tops by Grey Power meeting of candidates at Elm Church
Waikato District Healthboard candidates spoke with ward candidates preceding them.
and South Waikato Mayoral candidates (video to follow in another blog tomorrow #13)
Below is the order of speaking on the day. 1st to 24th. Speaking order was picked randomly by Grey Power beforehand and these video show that order. The ward candidates followed by health Board candidates. (Not the videos of the four mayoral candidates will follow tomorrow in blog)
Highlights.
One mayoral Candiate alluded to the other mayoral candidate breaking the rules of grey power six questions by reading a prepared script. (I must admit that I have heard the same speach repeated that last three times I have recorded the mayoral talks from this Candiates)
Should a Mayoral candidate win an election from broadcasting the same speach to each group? Well it shows the candidate is "scripted". Who then is writing the script? And has that person shown this pattern in the past. Regardless of the feedback you get the same script? Other people influencing the script. So a good keen comment from one Candiate about another. Will either of these candidate win because of these critical point?
The other two Candiates speak to the points ask for in questions. Will they will by being responsive to the needs of the community!
Those four videos are the last four videos above.
Who would have made a good deputy mayor from yesterday's talk! Well Sharon Clair was my pick. Here it that video. http://youtu.be/YjhYCVmXGX8
The key to this was the vision Sharon talked about was the vision agreed by the community in the 10 Year Long Term Plan. This was identified and then this vision was analysed and then this vision was spoken to an elaborated. Well done to this Candiates for winning the deputy mayor title from this round of debates.
You see the Mayor may have a vision but this takes a process of the 10 year planning process to synthesis the community vision. And this is published. What Sharon Clair was able to do in her speach was to highlight this vision from past documents and the bring it to the meeting and answer the Grey Power questions around it.
To think that 26 ward candidates have been approaching this topic for weeks now and one Candiates scoots to the top of the class and shows head and shoulders ability to stand out as deputy mayor candidate.
This deputy mayor Candiate is not reading a prepared script and not ignoring the gey powers questions.
This also show that if this deputy mayor should become mayor that the policies and procedures of council, as set out in the ten year aspirational plan, will be kept! Honest and integrity to the plan which is key.
Will that last video win the Mayoral debate? (Note that the very last video is a raffle draw.)
