John Key trolls everyone
1) Rodney and Franklin districts whine about being in the SuperCity;
2) Government circulates bogus plan to split both districts in half, with half going into the SuperCity;
3) Rodney and Franklin whine even louder, demanding that their districts be kept together;
4) Government "backs down" and includes all of Rodney and Franklin in the SuperCity.
This is frankly brilliant political chess and I wonder why no-one else seems to have noticed that the whole point of this manoeuvre was to keep Rodney and Franklin in Super-Auckland in their entirety.
