MEDIAWATCH: The Spin-off suggests Mariameno Kapa-Kingi could vote for National???
Astounding claim by the wokiest woke wokers at The Spin-off that Mariameno Kapa-Kingi could vote for National…
It also allows Kapa-Kingi to remain politically fluid, potentially even supporting a National-led government if the opportunity arises.
…you would think after destroying dear old Joseph Los’es career, The wokiest woke wokers at The Spin-off might curtail their middle class fuckwittery, but no, they be full force this year.
Look.
Te Pati Māori’s internal dramas have been a political heartbreak.
From the dizzying highs just after the protests against ACTs terrible Treaty Principles Referendum to the internal civil war initiated by the Kapa-Kingi’s to their latest drama launching a new party against Te Pati Māori, it has been exhausting for supporters who want to see their policies put in place.
All however would be forgiven if Hone Harawira were Te Pati Māori’s candidate in the up coming Te Tai Tokerau election.
As it stands.
Kapa-Kingi’s new party, the ‘Te Tai Tokerau Party’ will most likely not be able to be registered with that name. Names of political parties can not confuse voters and naming your party after your electorate is likely to be considered confusing.
They have 200 paid members but need 500.
I can’t see why anyone outside Te Tai Tokerau would vote for them.
IF Hone is not the candidate and they chose someone else, it is most likely Willow-Jean will come through the middle, or even Huhana, but if Hone IS the candidate, not only would he most likely win the seat, he will pull more Party vote as well.
Hone is the OG of left wing Māori politics. His activism, his role as leader of MANA, his feed the kids policy and most importantly his economic platform that demands the rich be taxed more.
Since stepping back from National politics, Hone has been a never ending crusader for Te Tai Tokerau and has been deeply embedded within the community.
Hone Harawira running for Te Pati Maori in Te Tai Tokerau would be a game changer.
If they don’t select him, Willow-Jean wins the electorate and Māori Party gets a lower Party vote.
As Hone Harawira raises from the ashes to bring real working class politics, The Spin-off claiming Mariameno Kapa-Kingi could vote for National is driven by the Spin-offs own identity politics, not class dynamics because all the Spin-Off is capable of is identity politics and being ‘fluid’ is all that matters.
It’s a devastating reminder that The Spin-Off is a middle class Identity Politics echo chamber that should really only publish on BlueSky so that they don’t alienate voters this year and cost us the election again.
It appears, just like Luxon, MKK has an enormous ‘king sized’ ego, is petty and childish. It’s always all about HER not her voters or our country! I sincerely hope she crashes out this election. Time she grew up and played the adult version.
@ Maori = The Treaty. @ Farmers = The Money. @ National = ….? What does the National party actually, y,know, do? What does the members of the national party and its denizens actually fucking do? To me, as an old white farmer who hugely values @ Maori sees a criminal institution who only provides for itself or rather those few multi-billionaires, multi-millionaires and foreign ( Australian ) manipulators who now own our banks who are hidden up and within the bowels of a cabal of urban liars, swindlers, well educated crooks, carpet baggers and bullshit artists. Our public systems and infrastructure that were once the envy of the world is now a tattered old hag of a thing living in the garage and shitting in a bucket.
I ask myself this all the time… What, about the above reality is it that denies people the ability to be able to see through the obfuscating villainy of what’s actually, literally going on?
We have a beautiful country, we have a world class primary industry, we have a priceless global advantage in that our farmers can provide foods for the Northern Hemisphere while that’s buried in fucking snow and yet we still can’t seem to comprehend just how incredibly valuable the climate advantage we have is when it comes to food production for export to ponder ” Hang on a minute…? Where’s our fucking money? ” I mean, really? We need to get in the pest exterminators and that’s why we must A. Mandate the vote and B. Ask for a public, royal commission of inquiry up our rich urban masters that’d make a colonoscopy look and feel like like picking your nose.
A final word re hipkins. Go back to bed mate. Luxon will scootch over to give you some room. Aaaaaahhhh….. Isn’t that better? All snuggled up.
I thought that if Mariameno won the election and we end up with virtually a hung Parliament she could be in a position to really help the people in her electorate regardless of who formed a government. Now I think if Hone stands he will win hands down.
