Rusty Kane, winner of the most ironically named party…
Ironic in that “The Peoples Choice Party it is surly not! the Peoples Choice. And the name Rusty Kane is ironic... In that Rusty he is not.. He was claimed to be the most awesomely named candidate. Who didn't know he had five family members living in Mt Albert.
Rusty Kane, winner of the most ironically named party…and most awesomely named candidate.
Now thats a headline none of the other candidates could aspire to or achieve.
