more iwi political parties take to the road

kia ora koutou

point taken mate but no way am i trying to castigate the m party its just that having other iwi political parties out there gives our people choices, there is nothing wrong with variety. It is the only way of letting our people know that we are not lackeys because if we seem to be that if we get in there and are unable to through ignorance to make a difference then we can always vote them out in favour of someone else then we are serving that purpose. the m party polling at 2.4 percent in the polls mmm they need 5 percent for the list to take effect, but the M roll does not have lists.

And no we will not "relent this time" on the m party as we believe "the more (iwi political parties) the better" so what if the m party support is weakened. by having people voting for other iwi political parties that is what indigenous politics is about. we did not all support tainui and ngai tahu when they took the money from the crown for a full and final settlement expediting this close off period. Experience with politics for me be that student politics, local and national politics clearly shows that losing elections and not getting your way is a common occurrence. you therefore either massage your goals and policies to suit those sectors of your target society to better suit their needs and wants or go down in a flaming ball of fire.

Elections are more or less about the masses deciding who is going to take out the rubbish and who is going to dispose of our piss and shit and to keep the lights switched on, not much else. everything else like armed forces, schools, universities, hospitals and the like occur naturally where ever there are large concentrations of people. so if your policies as a party are well thought out and along those lines and that they come from a strong foundation such as "rights" or more specifically as stipulated in article three of the declaration of indigenous peoples rights, also article twelve of the united nations charter "the right to political representation" then voting for the m party only is ridiculous and counter productive to iwi having a society that is based on fairness, justice and a meaningful existence.
see I can collect the rubbish and dispose of the shit as well as the m party.

If we all agreed with what whatarangi and tariana of the m party decide is to be the policy of the party in terms of iwi rights then we are crazy to accept this as we will become like we already are, fully americanised britisher citizens where we are the taxpaying indigenous resource strippers stripping our own moana of our fish, stripping our own forests and strip mining all our own precious metals for this illegal government well bugger that hey and the m party say woe betide those who want to oppose them.

nevertheless of the multitudes of our people who are into the m party there are many they have rejected such as those who have criminal records, or those who are from the gay or lesbian community, or even those who are unemployed and in gangs, or smoke ciggies or marijuana and or who are beneficiaries. who represents these people we do thats who, and if you are muslim or budhist or anything that is not christianised then bo you is stuffed with that party so if you like them thats all well and good bro. but because some of us fit into those categories we have to take another look into the future, to determine what we think it may look like for iwi hapu and whanau and well I believe it will not always be as it is today, we may even have an iwi prime minister again one day but at least by having choices we are not always at the beck and call of the peripatetic white supremacists.
