Phil Goff won a landslide victory in the mayoral elections over the weekend, getting more than double the votes than his main rival John Tamihere.

Our reporter Matthew Theunissen spoke to one of the new councillors, Angela Dalton, who could potentially be a bit of a thorn in the mayor's side this term. She was elected to the Manukau-Papakura ward on a ticket with Daniel Newman.
