Poll says MДЃori are turning to the Greens for their party vote

The useful part

Māori are turning to the Greens for their party vote with a new poll revealing a change described by commentators as 'massive'. "This is huge – it's like sitting in Taupō when an earthquake goes off," says former MP Tau Henare. Veteran journalist Tina Wickliffe says the result is "massive" and like nothing she has seen before amongst Māori voters.

How it works

• "They've been relentless about the cost of living crisis that we are in, and we cannot underestimate how acute it is." A Mata-Horizon poll shows growing support for the Greens amongst Māori voters enrolled...
• The impact is most evident in the Māori roll, where the Green Party came out on top when participants were asked who they intended casting their party vote for in the 7 November election.
• Twenty-eight percent opted for the Greens, ahead of Labour on 27%, Te Pāti Māori (16%), and Opportunity (6%).
• They wear a mix of colourful and neutral outfits, including dresses, hats, and accessories, with trees and bushes in the background." sizes="700px"...
