Remember that especially under FPP - but also to an extent under MMP - the Maori seats help National and the Right by quarantining a population of hard-left voters out of the general seats. Dump those voters back onto the general roll and more electorates will go red.
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
An odd comment, and not the first time the PM has used this bizarre logic.
ReplyDeleteHis refusal to pay David Bain compensation was on the grounds a lot of people think Bain is guilty so may get upset.
If ever there was a need for one law for all, regardless of small groups not liking it, it is over Maori seats (and Bain compensation)

ReplyDeleteSo ought Mr Bain to be compensated? What do you think?
