Why the Māori Party and John Tamihere matter to the wider Left
Look.
I’m not going to try and decipher the latest comments by JT comparing migrant and pakeha volunteers helping Labour in the recent by-election to African Slavery, British rule of India or the Opium Wars because quite frankly I simply don’t understand the comparison any more than I understand Doc claiming we can’t take offence at his comments because it is the English language that is racist.
What I do want to focus on however is the importance of JT and the Māori Party to any change of Government.
Push past the comments and there are 4 very simple facts.
1 – JT is one of the best negotiators in the game and he is essential to ensuring Labour’s incrementalism isn’t what we need up with and he will be necessary in helping the Greens get the best deal possible as well.
2 – The Māori Party economic policy is as close to socialism we are ever going to get with taxes placed upon the rich and removed from the poor. They have an entire raft of taxes aimed at speculators that will tax them while providing the money we all need for our public services and infrastructure.
3 – Look at all the polling and Labour + Greens + MP = 51%
4 – NZF + Labour (with the Greens held hostage) is not worth fighting for.
This anti-Treaty, anti-Māori, anti-disabled, anti-renter, anti-beneficiary and anti-environment Government have strangled off the common good for their donors interests and I will gladly drink a glass of of Green Party woke and Māori Party sectarianism to ensure Labour Party incrementalism doesn’t end up being all we can hope for.
The Māori Party are too important to our collective hope for real change to write off.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
TMP need to think before they open their mouths and put their foot in them. Including JT. Let him put his front bums down to the back upon a seat and think about developing infrequent laryngitis. He knows the game, he is not Shane Jones, footling around, so get serious to match your elevated position John T.
Bomber, if allow not for publish, yes racism, is Like John Tamaherei, like your show, when he and that pom, from the ctu, run back all your plays of those shows, face recon, and then.
Accent.
Yeah!!! This is our only hope.
John, why talk up town, when accent others care, and .
The racism present in the make up of TPM is exposed.
because they’re actually left-wing
simple as
John, what race,to win.
John boy, race, why who talk about us.
But Bob1 can’t see that he is already ( and still will be ) a recipient of collectivism and socialism. It is a State system that gives him and the Libertarian fantasists their cheap labour caregivers and pays their Super, the roads to their mansions etc.
In the end it must be the biggest delusion burst when you cark it and some other buggar gets the hoarded possessions and money one couldn’t even spend in a lifetime!!
And the last laugh has to be the horror of realizing the maggots that eat your decomposing remains just ate a bottom feeder too.
