Steve - While the Maori Party certainly have some left wing flaxroots activists (as do the Greens, for that matter), it is by no means a left wing party (neither are the Greens, of course). See the social conservatism present in some of their MPs / policies, and their policy (seen on yesterday's news) of abolishing the unemployment benefit for just two examples.
