"what is the workers party position on tino rangatiratanga and national's plans to abolish the maori seats?"

Tino Rangatiratana means different things to different people, what exactly are you asking us if we support?

I don't support 'abolishing' the Maori seats and doubt others in the party would either, but class is a far bigger dividing line than ethnicity and I think as class consciousness grows working class Maori will switch from the Maori electorates to general electorates and the Maori seats would 'wither away' as it were. Interestingly I noticed from a press release this morning that the Maori Party are (as I would expect) claiming the opposite (ethnicity more important than class) there is also a strong anti-union sentiment expressed, I was actually a little surprised by that though.
