Another ACT candidate bites the dust - Lilith7 - 09-09-2023
Not a good look, whatever the reasons.

[b]"The party's candidate for Taranaki King Country, Brent Miles, withdrew last week for personal reasons, a spokesperson for the party said.[/b]
1News had asked why Miles had been removed from ACT's website.
The spokesperson said ACT would not comment further.
Miles previously stood for ACT at the 2020 election.
It means five ACT candidates have now withdrawn in recent weeks — Elaine Naidu-Franz, Darren Gilchrist, Scott Boness, Anto Coates and now Miles.
Naidu-Franz, the party's Rangitata candidate, immediately resigned after online comments where she likened vaccine mandates to Nazi concentration camps came to light."

That opens things up somewhat. Nation is fielding Barbara Kuriger who only beat Angela Roberts by 3,134 votes in 2020. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candidates_in_the_2023_New_Zealand_general_election_by_electorate#Taranaki-King_Country

'Serious lapse of judgement' Barbara Kuriger?
I thought she was history...

I don't much like the sound of those multiple animal cruelty charges against Oxbow dairies.

Not to worry, the whole thing's just an ACT anyway. As long as you don't take them seriously it is OK, but if they ever do DO anything, get it undone quick.

If they have Rascos for bad ACTing, I'm pretty sure a Party will be having a "Clean Sweep" party
