New Poll: National and Labour both up and Māori Party are becoming kingmakers
Latest Taxpayer’s Union Poll is out and it shows National and Labour up and the dynamic that TDB has been predicting for sometime that the Māori Party are emerging as the possible kingmaker.
NATIONAL – 37.8% up 2.5
LABOUR – 36.8% up .6
GREENS – 9.4% down 3
ACT – 8.4% down 2.8
Māori Party – 3.6% up 3.5
NZ First – 1.7& down .1
OTHER – 2.3% down .7
National and Labour are level pegging with ACT and the Greens are becoming their political tails, the prevailing dynamic is that Labour and the Greens will require the Māori Party to gain a majority in the 2023 election.
We can see that at play in JTs latest column.
ACT and National will use Labour and Greens reliance on the Māori Party to generate fear and disinformation.
The Greens and the Māori Party should be meeting now.

Is it just me or is anyone else uncomfortable with a obviously bias lobby group publishing polls?
Depends on the integrity of the pollster
My pick is Labour/Greens/Maori Party Coalition, I think NZF may get 5% however will not be in the frame this time after dissing Labour and National/ACT/NZF will struggle to get a majority.
Both leaders should do what Key did and say they refused to work with NZF. He has not been a friend to either and the voting public have gained little apart from the Gold Card.
The Greens have done little for the climate and the Maori Party has done little for the Maori and nothing for building any type of racial harmony as they grand stand to attract attention.
sorry to be the one to break it Trev Canary–NZ First supporters are literally a dying subset–ironic given all the micro projects the PGF enabled in the Far North, new wharves and jetties for tiny communities most New Zealanders would not know existed, business hub in Kaikohe, State highway roundabouts that make the trip North more comfortable and safe, small business funding, environmental projects, town remakes, Mangonui harbour board walk and inlet culvert…and scores more
And where as it Shan Jones was trying to get back into power for another 3 years suckling of the public tit
I don’t believe the Maori party will be relevant come election night next year.
Totally disagree with this comment I think they will become more and more relevant with those who did vote Green. I know lots of people who are looking to them as an alternative. They have the best policy on climate change of any party by a country mile. I want to see their tax policy and what they will do to bring in more revenue so that the rich pay much more and the poor pay zilch, plus the whole issue of funding for health.
Agreed Michal, however it is plain wishful thinking on Frankie’s part.
God help New Zealand if the Maori Party get into a position of power.
