The People's Choice Party”
Mt Albert by-election
Press Release. 27/05/09
“The People's Choice Party” has decided to stay well clear of the Ar-gee Bar-gee politics of the larger political parties campaigns in the Mt Albert by-election. Instead they have quietly worked away in the background building up party support, by holding media excluded in house meetings at Mt Albert residents houses in the electorate.
Rusty Kane their candidate said the main parties candidates have been focused on themselves in a three party dirty politics campaign that has simply over looked the Mt Albert residents themselves.
The People's Choice believe just talking to Mt Albert residents and staying clear of the larger parties dirty campaigns has gained them more credibility within the community who are more interested in hearing the parties policy's meeting their candidate and finding out how he and the party can best represent them in the Mt Albert electorate..
Rusty said the residents have given him and the party some really good feed back, once they have heard what the party is about and what it has to offer. He said most residents he spoke to are sick of the the way the other parties candidates are using them and the by-election for their own ends for party grandstanding. He said smaller parties like “The People's Choice Party” would never by heard in that environment. And will continue to hold the very successful media excluded in
house meetings in the Mt Albert residents houses.

Misquoted Media Reports.
Just to clear up a few misleading media reports..
Yes! I will be standing in the Mt Albert by-election representing “The People's Choice Party” No! I have never stood for the New Plymouth District Council and nor was I the first non Maori to stand for a Maori seat.. That person was People's Choice candidate at the time Doug Wilson who stood in the 1999 Te Tai Hauauru by-election.”The People's Choice Party” how ever, was the first politcal party ever formed and registered out of Taranaki. ( May 1999 ).
The People's Choice are standing a candidate in the Mt Albert by-election merely as a focal point of intense media and public interest. to highlight and promote their parties views that would otherwise not be heard if it were a general election. Their view is that citizens initiated referendum's should be binding on the government. Issues like the Auckland Super City and the Waterview motorway are contentious issues for the Mt Albert community. Where a citizens referendum would better help decide a more democratic community lead process and outcome. The People's Choice Party are a ginger group that uses its democratic right to stand in elections to make political comment not to win elections.
Rusty Kane (me) their candidate will also use the by-election to push my provincial New Plymouth Independent opinion that I would rather see a greater share of the money ear marked for Auckland's infrastructure be redirected to the provinces were it is most needed. Auckland takes most of the lion share of all New Zealand's roading money leaving very little for the provinces. New Plymouth for instance, who has the third largest export port in the country. Is still in need of a new bridge over the Waiwhakaiho and the vital state highway 3 north to Auckland is well overdue a major upgrade.

The People's Choice Party
“The People's Choice Party” have chosen Rusty Kane of New Plymouth as their candidate for the Mt Albert by-election. The by-election will give the party exposure and highlight the need for citizens binding initiated referendum's. “ The party believes the by-election is the best place for the Mt Albert community (knowing there votes will not change the government) to protest their vote to a smaller party like the People's Choice who support citizens majority community choice over that of central government.. By voting People's Choice will send the strongest message to the larger parties that the Mt Albert communities opinions and values are not to be sidelined for the sack of political expediency.
The People's Choice candidate Rusty Kane believes the Mt Albert electorate itself should have the major say on deciding on how a motorway or any other major infrastructure project should proceed through their electorate by way of referendum.
It will also give the electorate a protest vote choice against the main parties that are using the by-election as a tool for their own political parties agendas.
Rusty Kane put in his candidacy's at the last minute after first choice local candidate had withdrawn, because of on going overseas commitments.
Rusty is a seasoned campaigner and leader of 'The People's Choice Party” he describes himself as a middle-aged, kiwi plebiscite of European descent. (An average Kiwi bloke).
