2008 Napier seat

[edit]

I removed clearly unsubstantiated and incorrect facts. The Napier seat was held by Russell Fairbrother from 2002 - 2005. He lost that election to Chris Tremain who was re-elected in 2008. While Stuart Nash contested the 2008 election, Chris Tremain was re-elected. The stated facts clearly conflicts with the Napier (New Zealand electorate) page

I'm afraid you have misread the page. The page says that "Nash contested the 2008 selection". this is an internal Labour party contest. He lost this and therefore Fairbrother went on to contest Tremain at the election NOT Nash. The fact is also referenced. Mattlore (talk) 09:25, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You are quite right. Perhaps wording could be be improved to emphasise that this was the labour party candidacy selection. Sendervictorius (talk) 09:31, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've had a go, but it is pretty hard without going into a tangent. Hopefully it's an improvement. Mattlore (talk) 09:35, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
