    Ironic, indeed, to see this rCLBetter WellingtonrCY crowd resort to such
    slurs to try to discredit their opponent <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/better-wellington-deletes-post-comparing-green-councillor-to-charlie-kirks-alleged-murderer/SFT7AFRQKVG75EXQSGPXWR5ZHY/>.
    So much for their slogan of rCLNO PARTY POLITICSrCY and rCLgetting the
    council BACK TO BASICSrCY. If this Trump-style culture-wars propaganda
    crap is their idea of rCLBASICSrCY, perhaps Wellington would be better off without it ...

    Wellington would be better off without these unhinged green Marxists
    embezzling the ratepayers' money. Councillors should be managers, not politicians.

    Bill.

    The answer to that would be to elect somebody who stands on policies for better use of that money, instead of wasting their time, and everybody elserCOs, on irrelevant ideological rCLculture warsrCY distractions.

    Councillors should be managers, not politicians.

    Managers are not elected, though. Politicians are. ThatrCOs why the city managers are made answerable to the politicians, not the other way round.

    One person, not the whole "crowd" posted something offensive, the "crowd" (your
    word) removed it. Every mobvement has their idiots. Nothing to see here as usual.

    The Council is elected and they set the policy and inform the CEO and the
    CEO carries out the Council's request.

    It is went the politicians are infererring at staff level that things get dysfunctional. All kinds of agendas get pushed all over the place.
