...same with the Internet Party last election.

Laila Harre is a competent politician, I didn't vote for them obviously (not many did) but I doubt it would have been the trainwreck that you think.
If she is anything like I remember her in the Te Atatu electorate, she would be a massive train wreck.
What does a competent politician actually mean?
