Winston attacking Māori Electorates is the worst level of race baiting
Winston Peters calls for referendum on Māori seats after Peeni Henare loss, Te Pāti Māori behaviour
New Zealand First will campaign on a referendum to determine the future of the Māori seats in the lead-up to November’s general election.
Party leader Winston Peters said in contemporary times, the seats built a more representative Parliament but with record levels of Māori MPs in the House, they were redundant.
Māori seats were introduced via legislation in 1876 and initially limited Māori representation to just four seats. Today, there are seven Māori electorates which people on the Māori roll vote for. Te Pāti Māori currently holds six of these seven seats.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon would not say whether his party was supportive of or opposed to a referendum, saying the issue had not been discussed by the National Party caucus.
Peters said Te Pāti Māori’s behaviour over the last two years was the “disdain”.

Winston Peters using the Māori Party as a justification to simply burn the Māori electorates down is a bit like wanting to bomb Parliament because you don’t like Shane Jones!
The secret to Winston’s 40 year political success with the angry whites is that he has been a Māori willing to kick down other Māori – a referendum to destroy the Māori electorates is the culmination of a career of race baiting – he is the disgrace!!
He’s a gangrenous tumour leading Party of venal polices paid for by their big polluter donors.
Winston is older than Israel.
He has been kingmaker 4 times.
He plays to grievance and resentment.
NZ is no better for his race baiting, conspiracy theories and malice.
That so many Kiwis see his as their saviour is a failing for civil society.
He is the toxic political fart of Nigel Farage this year.
The average anti-vax NZF supporter fears fluoride in their water, thinks climate change is a socialist hoax and believes eclipses are the Moon Dragon eating the Sun King.
By attacking the WHO, Winston is playing to their bigotry and ignorance in the worst possible way.
He is a calcified prejudice for mouth breather sectarianism.
He is Old Zealand constantly strangling the hopes of New Zealand and his electorate is the celebration of gauche callowness.
This is the Party of Book Burners and people who are hurting.
Winston has been kingmaker 4 times and NZ is no better for his race baiting, conspiracy theories & malice, playing to the worst angels of our nature by calling for a referendum on the Māori Electorates is one stop closer to Nigel Farrage, Pauline Hanson and Donald Trump.
Labour and National must rule him out because of his extremism.
