1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Just back to the review of the last election result

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: that we mentioned on the program this yesterday from the

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Political Brains Trust at Victoria University. Just to remind you,

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: they analyzed our votes, our issues, our voting intentions and

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: as a result, what sort of mandate they thought the

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: current government has. Now my point was they overthought the

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: whole thing, given we only have one vote and it

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: doesn't specifically buy a lot or guarantee any sort of

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: outcome or even influence. So it is on that note

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: I ask you this very simple question this Friday morning.

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: If and when Labor get back to power, they're going

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: to need most likely not just the Greens, but the

13
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: Marory Party, and it's the Maori Party. That will potentially

14
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: lead to a flurry of analysis and a lot of

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: hard questions. I'm not sure anyone's even thought about yet.

16
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: The Marray Party are radicals. When the police raided the

17
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 1: bunglel mob the other day in a Potocky Rarii Whititi

18
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: called it terrorism driven by a race agenda. How do

19
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: the Labor Party live with that? How do they explain it?

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: How do they justify being in government with that? The

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: Marray Party, to their credit, I think a long term

22
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: as given. White to t seems to have a lock

23
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: on his seat, and that is far more reliable than

24
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: the five percent, which they will never get because they're radicals.

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: They are single issue Zealots. But democracy allows this if

26
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: you can find five percent to agree with you, or

27
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: in d deceit where that sort of rhetoric sells, and

28
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: I think Whiteity has that seat. So when you vote

29
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: for Labor or for the Greens, do you think about

30
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 1: a government a grouping that has the Mari radical element

31
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: in it? And if you do, what do you think

32
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: that will lead to? What do the Mari Party have

33
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: the New Zealand first cart the balance of power. You

34
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: can't form a government without them. What do you think

35
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: their price for that will be? How radical do you

36
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: think that will be? When the politics wants at Victoria

37
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: University get to analyze that, their heads will explode. What

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: you thought you were voting for on what you got

39
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: will be unrecognizable. And yet in twenty twenty six it's possible,

40
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: and in twenty twenty nine might even be likely. For

41
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: more from the Mic Asking Breakfast listen live to news talks.

42
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: It'd be from six am weekdays or follow the podcast

43
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:01,680
