SEVEN MAORI SEATS ARE OBSOLETEThe seven Maori seats in Parliament should be scrapped. The need for them has long passed. Originally they were only meant to be there for five years to give Maori the right to vote in the general election 150 years ago this year. That was extended by another five years but in 1876 it was extended indefinitely. Now we have a bill pulled out of the ballot box aimed at entrenching the seven Maori seats, sponsored by Labour's Rino Tirikatene. It's hardly surprising given at the last election all the seats went back to their natural home, Labour. To entrench the seats means 75 percent of Parliament would have to vote to get rid of them. Currently they could be scrapped with a simple majority. Without the seats Labour wouldn't be the Government today but their retention has always been up for debate....... www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12046352

If the racist maori seats go, then more than likely, that would be the death of the Maori Supremacist Party. So lets get rid of both!
