Prime Minister John Key has suggested Rodney Hide's days as a minister may be numbered....maybe john key should look at his days, for not giving maori sets and for not listing to the peoples no vote on the smacking law,the priministers day may be numbered,you lose my vote!
Of course Maori can have a seat on the council; but let's see them voted on. The whole idea is someone puts him or herself up for election and goes out and gets some votes. That's the whole idea of democracy or aren't we living in a democracy ? Get rid off Maori seats, Chinese seats, Pakeha seats and let the people actually vote for them. It's cheaper in the long run and everyone is accountable for the successes and failures. We have no time for racists and every time Maori are treated differently, racism rears it's ugly head. One man one vote period !
Yes Tim ..there is a lot of racism here.They a group who want a Guaranteed seat on the new council because of the colour of their butts ,Yes mate you are correct..That Is racism.PS.. seventh generation ,sounds like you beat old Cook here.congratulations.
