Is it possible to support democracy and Māori? I hope it is, but I am unsure at this point. Third part of my series on analysing this government coalition agreements
That is a challenging topic. My view is that one cant use tribalism to run a nation of millions of people, and currently democracy is looking the best way forward. Self determination like tribalism is better used locally, as we have seen during Covid, but mixing tribalism with democracy gives you the benefit of neither. That is why I didnt like 3 waters, and I think Winston Peters might feel the same. Maori should simply ban tobacco in their local areas. People might accept that. What do you think ?
