ACT on the brink of holding some power; what does it mean?

[Kenj]

Hmmmm, and you think Te Pati Maori is going to overturn our current version of democracy? Which by the way only works for the majority.

Funny - democracy is meant to work for the majority.  However Maori Party wants to see that Maori have control over everything from water, courts, prisons, health - and in most cases many of their representatives are not elected but appointed. 

So yes in many cases they wish to overturn the current version of democracy.

 Mmmmn, the are also against colonialism but are happy to accept the colonials Knighthood/Dame/ONZ et al.
