"Mr Prebble is no friend of mine, and neither is Marian Hobbs", says Wellington Central Independent candidate Lea Barker, who is appalled at the Labour attempt to associate anyone with Independent beneath their name on the ballot paper with some kind of set-up.
"It simply confirms my view that a vote for either Hobbs or Prebble is a vote to prolong the death throes of the old guard. Do we want Parliament to be a college for the bland, or a vision centre?" she said.
Barker is proud to wear her Indie label.
