I haven't voted for years and don't intend to this time round but something I read in the SW Tino Rangatiratanga journal interested me... that the Maori Party was way out front in terms of environmental policy and social policy. Also, that in voting for the Maori Party it provides a platform for Maori to rise.

Maori, who have the strongest social structure in Aotearoa, therefore the best chance to create real radical social change (not just a movement). Maori, who make up the largest proportion of under and lower class people in this country, therefore the most likely to make radical socio-economic change.
Maori, who have the longest and strongest link with this whenua, therefore the most likely to give a shit about it being fucked over.

I'm pretty sure I won't vote for the Maori Party (or any others) but I'm pretty interested in working with them in other ways, as a group of political change-makers representing their people rather than your average ego-centric government politicians. The line is thin though, don't let me kid you.
