Former One News weatherman Brendan Horan has joined the New Zealand First party with the hope of becoming their 2008 candidate in the East Coast electorate - a seat currently held by National's Anne Tolley.Horan was dropped by TVNZ in 2007 in order to return veteran presenter Jim Hickey to our screens. He has since been working as a professional singer based in Mount Maunganui, and performed at the NZ First party conference last weekend as part of their 15th birthday celebration.
Horan has said that after surveying New Zealand's political parties, NZ First was the only party that fully satisfied him on the issues he sees as most important: fair tax, less bureaucracy, getting tough with gangs, health, and education.

Maybe they are grooming him to take over from Winston Peters. Especially since he appears to have some singing talents - would come in handy at the next karaoke night at Parliament.
Anne Tolley is National Education spokesman. A good opportunity for a new candidate to find out where she intends taking the country in Education. Should be plenty of scope for a campaign there.
