It appears that both National and Labour think that Christchurch has exceeded peak politician.
Despite Christchurch needing the most constituent work they arranged their list ranking so Lord Burns of Marlborough has retreated to his country seat, and Aaron Gilmore is no longer representing Christchurch East. Perhaps more thought should have gone into where people were needed.
The Greens have new MPs Eugenie Sage and Mojo Mathers but the Greens hippy roots means that they may not actually get a lot done to help those in need because they will be concentrating on things like eco-sustainable non-discriminatory light rail rather than building useful things like houses, flush toilets and roads.
