Te Pāti Māori have made their election strategy clear: give us your candidate vote to get more Māori in Parliament, and give your party vote to the left bloc.
This is the first time I can recall that a parliamentary party has not campaigned for the party vote. TPM are trying to use the Māori seats to deliberately create and overhang in Parliament, so that the four parties of the left can from Government even if they receive fewer party votes than the current Government.
