🪶 The Māori Party are the party who don’t want you to vote for them! Sort of. Every New Zealander gets to cast two votes, one for a party, one for a local MP. The Māori party, set up specifically for the interests of indigenous Māori people have asked their supporters NOT to vote for their party, but to instead vote for their candidates in the 7 Māori electorates in order to create additional“overhang” seats for their left-leaning allies. Confused?🧵7/8
