Goff instructs Maori Party to support him
Labour leader Phil Goff says the Maori Party needs to start listening to Maori voters and put a future coalition with Labour back on the table.
He told Waatea News that the meltdown of ACT and improving polling among other opposition parties means the next Government could well be a coalition of Labour, the Greens and New Zealand First.
Mr Goff said the Maori Party needed to face up to the fact National “hasn’t delivered for Maori”.
He also said the majority of Maori voters gave their party vote to Labour last election.
Firstly I note how Labour are openly talking up NZ First. They campaign on transparency in electoral laws, yet say they believe WInston didn’t know about the Owen Glenn donations. Ha.
Anyway, don’t you like the arrogance of demanding the Maori Party must support them, as most Maori gave Labour their party vote.
Goff has had Mallard and Jones spend most of the last two years attacking the Maori Party, and finally it has clicked he will need them to have a chance to form a Government. What a stroke of genius.
