Smaller Party Candidates

We have all seen know of and heard in the media the larger parties candidates standing in the Mt Albert by-election. National, Labour, Greens, and Act. But what about the other candidates standing in the Mt Albert by-election. Some of whom have their own good reasons for standing. But will never be heard because New Zealand media only report on the four main party candidates. They seem to have the same mentality that New Zealand stops at the Bombay Hills. In other words they have know interest beyond the four main parties. But there's a lot of New Zealand beyond the Bombay Hills, as there's a lot more candidates in the Mt Albert by-election besides the four main parties. Eleven more in fact. We pride ourselves as a country as being demercratic yet these eleven will never be heard. Not that they have nothing to say or can't add to the debate in Mt Albert by-election and New Zealand politics in general.. But because they are to small and therefore insignificant in the eyes of the media. But if we were a truly democratic country we would have a truly democratic media that would equally let us know all the candidates views and reasons for standing in the Mt Albert by-election not just the chosen few based on their status and size.
