I'm not enormously impressed with Hone either, but he kept his word, which speaks volumes in te ao Maori. <br /><br />The MCA Act is a joke and I agree with you Morgan, the tide is going out on the Maori Party. I shall reserve judgment at this point on Mana, but Hone needs to get back up North and focus on holding his own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-273900987381676042011-10-05T15:24:59.108+13:002011-10-05T15:24:59.108+13:00The electorate stats are ofcourse less reliable th...The electorate stats are ofcourse less reliable than the other questions of the poll. And I agree that they can change loads before election day.<br /><br />Harder to dismiss are the findings that:<br />1. 56% of respondents believe that the Māori Party have represented Māori well.<br />2. 54% of respondents support the Māori Party’s decision to vote for the Takutai Moana Act.<br />3. Only 8.5% of Māori voters expressed support for Te Mana.<br /><br />I could go on, but you can't deny the implications of results such as this. They show without a doubt that there is vast agreement that the Maori Party have represented Maori well.

So much for the downfall of the Maori Party, it kicked arse on Mana. Im sure there be some loonies out there saying "its early days for Mana...", but the point is Hone had said Maori Party was already in decline and this poll shows thats a myth.<br /><br />Along with the myth that most Maori disagreed with the coalition with National and the Takutai Moana bill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687643215117543088.post-84301734858337842682011-10-02T09:36:45.343+13:002011-10-02T09:36:45.343+13:00Great blog Morgan.
