The Mayor is said to be the first amongst equals. Whether that’s true in Law or not is something for later study. Nevertheless one needs support for public transport, cycles, three waters and women’s rights to their own spaces. Jules is the only one of the first three to have some sort of non-car transport focus but Lee and Bill might be more supportive than suspected. And they have good focus on democracy, debt and are easy to get along with. I’d hope that I could convince them to put in cycling infrastructure even if only at the University.
Some of these green ticks might end up being red crosses if better candidates rise. And there’s a few trigger phrases being used that will result in instant ❌s if anybody uses them. And they have been used so I’m listening now.

✅ Lee VANDERVIS (Independent) - good guy, right on 3 Waters & pool changerooms.
