No, and there should be more Maori representation built into political structures

The Green Party not only supports the retention of Maori seats, but also advocates for greater Maori representation in political structures. They have policies aimed at increasing Maori representation at all levels of government and have consistently argued for the need to address the under-representation of Maori in political decision-making.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, race should not impact seats

While the Green Party believes in equality and non-discrimination, they also recognize the unique status of Maori as tangata whenua (people of the land) and the need for specific mechanisms to ensure their representation in parliament. They would therefore disagree with the notion that race should not impact seats, as this would undermine the principle of Maori representation enshrined in the Treaty of Waitangi.
