Berry Tells Act Voters: Give Me Your Electorate Vote!

“With Act Deputy Leader Jon Boscawen’s decision to not stand on the Act party list and not chase the electorate vote in Tamaki, advocates of individual liberty in the Act party now have only one alternative,” says Independent candidate for Tamaki Stephen Berry.

“Jon Boscawen could not make it any clearer that he does not want the electorate votes of Act supporters with the announcement of his retirement from Parliament post-election.” Berry is left to contemplate what other options are left open to the libertarian faction of the Act party.

“I think it is pretty clear that voters in Tamaki are not going to hear National MP Allan Peachy using terms such as ‘small government.’ Nor will he be talking about individual liberty or the benefits of laissez-faire capitalism. Those in Act who support such concepts will not have their interests served by switching their electorate vote to National.”

Berry argues that he is now the only genuine candidate in Tamaki offering any sort of alternative to the status quo. “There is nobody else seriously standing in Tamaki that argues passionately for the personal sovereignty of the individual. There are no other serious candidates outlining a programme of massive tax and spending cuts. Nobody else who wants your electorate vote is genuine about obliterating Government intervention in your life!”

“My message to Act supporters who value the party’s advocacy of individual liberty, however watered down it may be, is that they do their cause no favours by switching their electorate vote to Allan Peachy. Act supporters who are passionate about shrinking the state should switch their Tamaki electorate vote to Stephen Berry, Independent.”
