Thanks for the compliments.
Real ...Kia ora korua<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments. <br /><br />Real gains do mean all the things you mention anon-7.54, and I was thinking wider than the F&S too, because of the increased importance of the maori party to the gnats and how that could be leveraged. The onus of compromise will shift to the gnats with the rebalancing of power. The buddy/buddy routine can now fulfill its purpose and it is time for hard eyes - but as i said I'm not holding my breath.<br /><br />Key is setting the agenda and the parameters of the debate by demonising Hone and saying that if Hone liked it, most middleof theroaders wouldn't. There is too much misinformation and Key's lines need to be challenged, new memes need to get out. <br /><br />Unfortunately the maori party don't seem to be able to disengage from the centre of power to be of any use. I have always believed that you can change the system from within but maybe that is just naive.<br /><br />But multiple fronts is the way to go - ACT are gone-burgers, winnie is building his forces, labour is after the middle and the greens have a disturbing tendancy to go that way too. The maori party have to go back to the basics and remember their kaupapa, and their mana.Marty Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07434142404949696557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340901893892759228.post-77635319356993221192010-09-17T19:54:44.050+12:002010-09-17T19:54:44.050+12:00Marty, regularly enjoy your blog.
As to putting...Marty, regularly enjoy your blog. <br /><br />As to putting pressure on for "real gains for their constituents", what kind of thing are you talking about? A lower test? Applying the new legislation to the existing private foreshore titles as well? Vesting all foreshore and seabed in "Maori title"?<br /><br />Whatever the gains you have in mind, do you think those are possible in the current Parliament?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340901893892759228.post-22717427938844836602010-09-17T13:37:00.599+12:002010-09-17T13:37:00.599+12:00good blog Marty.

Yes it's time we had new leaders, and a new party for Maori votersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
