I’ve been thinking about the strange change in Andrew Williams over the past several weeks.
I think that Andrew Williams is me, but for the mayoral elections, baiting for reactions.
His role would appear to be one of resignation for losing in the mayoral race but also as the baiter to get John Banks to react to his over-bearing antics all the while Len Brown sits serenely watching the carryon gaining the benefit of the mayhem.
Has Len Brown promised Andrew Williams the deputy mayoralty in return for playing the clown in the mayoral campaign? Or is it far more venal than that, promised him a board position on a CCO when Williams fails in his bid in Albany?
Remember this is a man who has very few demonstrable skills and the lightest CV of any 51 year man I’ve ever seen, with the exception of the latest list of Labour party selection candidates.
Len Brown and Andrew Williams were talking in hushed tones this morning, all chummy like at the Chamber of Commerce mayoral debate this morning.
Of course Len is having to really on someone who introduced him last night as “Mayor…Len…Bankssssh”.
Len Brown hasn’t had a stellar record in choosing proposed deputies, having once preferred Sue Bradford and even considered Judith Tizard. Time for ALL mayoral aspirants to declare their preferences for deputy mayor.
Len Brown needs to come clean on his apparent cosy deal with Andrew Williams. In the end it won’t matter because there simply aren’t enough brown people committed enough to vote for Len Brown to out weigh the deluge of votes john Banks will receive from North, Central and East Auckland. At least john banks is well advised and won’t bite, making this tactic by Len Brown and Andrew Williams futile.
Of course the good folk of Albany can stop this all happening by voting Slater for Albany and tossing Andrew Williams on the electoral scrap heap.
