Chris Hipkins let’s be clear again on your statements today : these are the rules under MMP. Te Pāti Māori has encouraged voters to split their votes backing its electorate candidates while giving their party vote to your party. Centre-right voters are equally entitled to split their votes within those same rules. You can debate the system but you cannot reasonably apply one standard to the left and another to the right. And as I have said before far less than 1% of ZURU’s revenue comes from New Zealand. My motivation is wanting this country to succeed and win. What your government did in the last term was unforgivable. New Zealand needs talented people in Parliament with common sense practical ideas and the ability to deliver a more prosperous future. I welcome a contest of ideas. What frustrates me is how often Labour offers policies that look designed to win votes rather than build lasting prosperity- this is what I would call gaming the system. Put that alongside proposals from its potential coalition partners that I believe would take us backwards very quickly. When Willie Jackson is your fourth-ranked MP Chris I think you have serious work to do to attract stronger candidates and lift the quality of your team and the quality of your ideas. Give New Zealanders a compelling vision, credible policies and people who can execute them. That is how we get a real contest of good ideas. I would welcome it.
