Tamihere Can't Count
John Tamihere is not known for his ability to count. Once again he proves that maths and logic are not really his thing.
Rodney Hide and the Act Party in the 2008 General Election achieved fewer votes in total than the Maori Party. In fact, they achieved 3.4% of the total vote yet, by way of threat and intimidation, can control the other 96.6% of us. Now that's our democracy. Where is the One Man, One Vote?
ACT received 3.65% of the list vote and the Maori Party just 2.39%. ACT did not bother standing candidates in the race based seats. If Tamihere seriously thinks he can add on Maori electorate voting as an indicator of anything he's a fool. The Maori Party only exist because of race based seats. Without the Maori seats they would never have had a presence in Parliament at all.

Tamihere was quite listenable a couple of years ago but since he didn't get mayors job and is on a manner of trusts and hapu nano nano shazbot side shows he has flipped to the gravey train.IS david a mooooooildy name?
ACT did stand a candidate in a Maori seat Cactus (see below). Clearly the football result on the weekend has got to you.
