Hard News: Five further thoughts, in reply to Katharine Moody,
Maori regionalism is a big part of Maori culture. The regions see things differently , Under a democratic process it's obvious . Ngapuhi haven’t settled because they are a huge iwi, with hapu that want to do their own bidding .Some hapu up north are bigger than some iwi who have already settled. Maori had its own kingdoms, like old england, scotland, wales and ireland , well before empire democracy arrived.

You have to face the result without anger, hard to do, but essential.
Labour did what you suggest, we never saw them. We had a cloud, a domination of print and video on a problem with our democratic system.This was not a comfortable election, governing power has been given with many reservations.

Push polling is an american success story. Push polling probably needs to be regulated.It's not very democratic.

We just need to work out how our primary goods (our oil) can be a spraycan for more exports and more jobs. I'd love a debate on that from the leaders, just that for an hour.

What are the demographics of the non-voters?

Incredible chart. Non-voters numbers are incredible, not all are passive voters, many are just so dis-engaged from the process, that it means nothing to them.

Death taxes made America and New Zealand survive the 1920s recession and set up distribution of wealth concepts that powered up their economies. Death taxes are perfectly capitalist. Survival of the fittest not the silverspoonishnest.

That's a pretty standard idea on the left (old term) too. Welcome over.
