The Maori Party’s many opponents are urging it to walk away from coalition with National over the issue of who owns water.
They would of course for two reasons: because they are also National’s opponents and hope the Maori Party defection would weaken the government; and because they know it would weaken the Maori Party.
In government, the Maori Party can achieve something. What could it do out of government where it would be just another opposition party with Labour, the Green and Mana Parties and NZ First?
