The inequality of the Maori seats
Manage episode 371037914 series 3473986
When the 1968 Royal Commission on the Electoral System recommended the introduction of MMP voting, they warned that the Maori seats should be abolished to avoid over-representation of Maori in Parliament.
That's exactly what we have today.
In a bizarre twist of fate, the seats that at one time preserved equality, are now undermining it.
Buth the truth is it’s only a radical minority who are focused on tribalism, power, and control. It is they who have been empowered and are now being enriched by Labour at the expense of everyone else.
So, what can be done to remove this threat to New Zealand?
