I think it is too early to have the harden up section as it is a recent claim. Only a few eye-witnesses have given an account of the events and I think it is premature to add this to the page. Especially bearing in mind that there are conflicting accounts of the event. Seymour and another politician on the panel have stated that his comments are out of context whereas others say that is what he meant. [1] 219.89.9.105 ( talk) 04:20, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Seymour stands by his words, so should have no problem with this being included. I.e. he doesn't deny what was written, and rather endorses & stands by it. So I assume there will be no challenge to adding these facts, with the relevant sources, to the page. I did not read the comments and I don't have any judgment or conflict of interest, I know very little about Seymour, and the one thing I know about previous Act leaders I thought sounded positive (I.e. John Banks helping to end animal abuse in Auckland region). That being said, both sides of the debate (MHF and Seymour) accept that the statements were made, and Seymour himself is happy to stand by them. Here are the sources: https://www.mentalhealth.org.nz/home/news/article/210/media-advisory-mhf-appalled-by-mp-david-seymours-letter-to-constituents and https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/104102224/david-seymour-slammed-for-letter-saying-social-housing-tenants-may-have-mental-health-issues — Preceding unsigned comment added by CanisLupisArctus ( talk • contribs) 09:22, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
May it could be usefull to create separate article section about Seymour's electoral history in constituencies where he stood to be elected? I think tahts aprropirate according to the fact that so much less known act politician Stephen Berry has his own electoral history section in the article describing himself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.182.197.253 ( talk) 22:54, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
The information is mostly correct except for the assertion that Seymour’s intentions were racist. This is Bias as Seymour’s intentions were that no one should receive special treatment based on race. That part is political opinion KingDougtheSecond ( talk) 08:54, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
Appears that he was born in Palmerston (south, not North)? [1] Te Karere ( talk) 01:40, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

The image of Seymour is ridiculous and is no reflection of his character. It looks as though a "beauty filter" has been placed on him. Sahaz1505 ( talk) 11:58, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

The article states that he will be the 14th Deputy Prime minister, this is incorrect as he will be the 21st DPM in 2025. Jam0070007 ( talk) 06:04, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
