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

The Māori Party has consistently advocated for increased Māori representation in political structures. For instance, in the 2020 general election, the party campaigned on a policy of increasing the number of Māori seats in Parliament. This reflects their belief that greater Māori representation can help address issues of inequality and social injustice faced by the Māori community.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Māori Party was established to represent the interests of the Māori people in New Zealand's Parliament. Abolishing Māori parliament seats would directly contradict the party's primary purpose and undermine its efforts to ensure Māori representation in political decision-making.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, race should not impact seats

While the Māori Party agrees that race should not be a barrier to political participation, they would likely disagree with the implication that Māori seats are a form of racial discrimination. The party views these seats as a necessary measure to ensure Māori representation and to uphold the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.
