Face of the Day

National leader Judith Collins has got in on the early voting action casting her ballot in Auckland’s Tamaki.

Collins, who stands in the Papakura electorate, lives in Tamaki, a seat comfortable held by National MP Simon O’Connor.

She arrived about 11 am to place her vote at St Thomas Tamaki, stopping in the chapel to offer a prayer before going in to vote.

I don’t know why the Media decided to publish this photo of Judith Collins praying before she voted. I suspect that they think her Christianity will be seen as a negative in contrast to the “progressive” Jacinda Ardern.

I think it will have the opposite effect as it may well bring some undecided voters home to National.
