Still party vote confusion, Anderton says
Sun Nov 21 1999
A large proportion of voters are still confusing their electorate vote with their party vote, Alliance leader Jim Anderton told a public meeting in Christchurch today.
'I'm still coming across people who think that the 'party vote' means the vote for a local electorate MP.
'Most people who want a change of government will give their local electorate vote to the candidate most likely to beat the National-Act-NZ First candidate.
'The Alliance says that if you only give us one vote, make it the party vote, because that is the best way to make a coalition.
'Labour cannot win without a strong party vote for the Alliance and the Alliance will be campaigning this week to make it clear that a vote for the Alliance will make a change of government worthwhile,' Jim Anderton said.
