Epsom Meet the Candidates - tonight

I'm moderating a debate between Epsom electorate candidates at Somervell Presbyterian on Remuera Rd from 7.30pm tonight

Epsom is the country's smallest, wealthiest and least Maori electorate. It is also the seat where the Act party lives or dies and could have a crucial impact on potential coalition deals after the election. So if you're around Auckland tonight come and meet the candidates (and me), ask some questions, and drink some coffee at a town hall-style meeting. Somervell Presbyterian Church is on the corner of Remuera and Greenlane.

The candidates are: Rodney Hide (Act), Richard Worth (National), Keith Locke (Greens), Kate Sutton (Labour) and Janet Tuck (United Future).

I'll be posting a feature analysing the fascinating politics of this crucial seat later in the morning, all going well.
