[fvc-wat-disc] All-candidates debate mishap

[Bryn Ossington]

Oh no thats fine Ari, I was just curious. I have a feeling it will be a hard
sell. I met a pretty big Ervin supporter who made his decision baesd on what
Louise had said to him. He had no interest in talking to me about anything
to do with MMP.

Hopefully she is more understanding than her supporter.
