A couple of days ago I asked you what you wanted me to write about between now and the election. This was, in retrospect, dangerous. You could have jumped the shark and I would have had to politely ignore all suggestions. But my faith in the intelligence of my readership was justified!
You had a
lot of questions. Some of them are enormous and deserve proper essays of their own. Quite a few of you want me to go back down the
He Puapua and co-governance rabbit hole, others want a forensic examination of TOP, and several want me to work out what a Labour-Green-Te Pāti Māori-TOP government might actually look like. There was also interest in strategic voting, electorate races, and what the minor parties could extract from National or Labour in coalition negotiations.
I will endeavour to write essays covering as many of those topics as possible. But there were also lots of questions that have reasonably straightforward answers. So I thought I would begin with a kind of Q+A format.
Consider this the first instalment of
Stuff You Wanted to Know.
