He introduces me to the "Hurricane" and my Uncle gruffs at me - "do you know who this is?" I said of course Uncle he's the ummm....(racking my brain)..."the candidate for Mana in Te Tai Tonga!". I read your blog just yesterday hehe about your views on the debate between the Tai Tonga candidates, and the Hurricane being somewhat of a surprise find for Māori politics. He seemed quite young too, I think Māori politics needs an injection of rangatahi - actually so does Labour's line-up but that's another story. While not a Mana supporter (don't tell my Uncle) I found Clinton to be quite engaging and confident. He was off to chat up the whanau at the kohanga just down the road. So thanks for the blog! I wasn't afraid to get it wrong in front of the Hurricane - just my scary uncle!! Off to watch the Hauauru debates now :)whanau4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088594595412302892noreply@blogger.com
