Libertarian Independent Fights Voter Apathy


Libertarian Independent Fights Voter Apathy.

By Libertarian Independent Tim Wikiriwhi

Tim Wikiriwhi, the Libertarian Independent candidate for Hamilton Mayor and City Council West Ward says he is appalled at the low vote tallies and that he intends to solicit votes right up to the final bell. He said because a majority had failed to vote, it was still possible for him to topple Bob Simcock and called for Hamiltonians to get off their lazy butts and vote Wikiriwhi!

Mr Wikiriwhi put up several billboards with messages designed to stir the public spirit reminding Hamiltonians that in Iraq they risk being blown to pieces just to vote. “It is terrible that Kiwis fail to exercise such an important democratic right” he said.

“Your Grand Pa fought Hitler so you’d get to vote So Use It!” On another board he warns constituents that Kyoto tax is coming and they need to stand up and vote Wikiriwhi so he can fight Socialist Environmental extremism.

“I will be stuffing letterboxes, trying to encourage people to vote until the ballots are closed” he said.
