Majority don’t want a race war in NZ
Oh, look at that, the majority of New Zealand DO NOT want to start a race war!
Newshub-Reid Research poll reveals if Kiwis want a referendum on the Treaty of Waitangi
In our latest Newshub-Reid Research poll, we asked do you think New Zealand should have a referendum on the treaty?
A majority 55.8 percent said no, while just 32.2 percent said yes.
It looks like the majority accept the Treaty is our founding document.
It looks like the majority respect the place of Māori as our indigenous people.
It looks like the majority do not want to start a race war, because you all do know that if ACT gets the opportunity to start a referendum to redefine the Treaty and force it upon Māori WILL start conflict.
Why the fuck would Māori accept a Party like ACT redefining the Treaty and forcing it upon them?
What in our 183 history makes you think that?
The Hikoi to protest against this will be extreme and end up on Parliament’s Lawns with a terrified Luxon and trigger fingered Right Wing Government.
If Māori have a right, it can’t be determined by majority fucking vote!
This whole referendum scam has been sold to reactionary white people freaked out that the weather is in Māori.
Are we really going to start a race war because of such fragile sensibilities?
Thank Christ the majority understand this!

I think if New Zealand is to be the most Maori place in the world then likeminded people who see value in our identity as pacific people will have to fight for it or at least get up every morning and work for it. Stay hard.
Is it not the most Maori place in the world already? Where else is more Maori?
It’s the political stuff, as bad as it is, is down stream. The solutions to New Zealand being the most Maori place are trustless and underfunded and decentralised systems with high expectations and economic incentives to balance news graphs.
I’m still none the wiser.
Well, it could be interesting to do a count of how many Maori have moved to Australia (a country that kept a strong economy by NOT doing Rogernomics) and seeing if we still have a majority of Maori living in Aotearoa.. (sarc)
ACT got less votes than the Greens and not much more than Te Pati Maori. Though unlikely the Greens and Te Pati Maori could theoretically form a coalition government with National and put an end to this infantile indigenous self hate that consumes Seymour. The political environment is that ridiculous.

And yet this poll shows something very different
Goodness me, a white klu klux clan mask. Does that mean if we want a referendum on the treaty we are white supremicists?
In a word…yes…it does mean that for thousands of dark New Zealanders still in denial that they are sitting on stolen or dubiously acquired land.
When Māori do better this country will do better.
The majority could be correct Martyn: In that there’s no reason for a time and money wasting referendum.
JUST DO IT!
We have voted this government into office to get this done. So they should just write law clearly defining The Treaty as per its original intent and then move on.
Alternatively they can scrub all references to the Treaty from law and demote it to an irrelevant footnote in history.
Less than 10% of the population voted on a referendum over treaty issues, National certainly didnt campaign on it, only ACT did. So to say that a majority want it it would be stretching truth to beyond breaking point.
The Swiss system is the most democratic in the world . That is the one to look at as an alternative.
