Ratana speaks for all Maori

So we just had the Major Political Parties descend onto Ratana this week opening the Political Year with the Annual Ratana Celebrations: We will be moving into Waitangi in a couple of weeks then right into the PM Delivering his State of the Nation Speech, opening Parliament for the week, and giving all those Labour Party members that time they so desperately want to try and attack the PM and divide the vary voters they are trying to regain.

The real issue this week though however is, does Ratana speak for all Maori, and does it make any difference what so ever, will Maori vote for you because of Ratana.

I would say a significant probably do take some, a little or a lot of consideration to their Church, Religion and Faith, and there are quite alot of Maori who are Ratana. So I would think it does make a difference, it makes Maori feel special and noticed, and even though I am not Ratana and I will vote for who I think will best protect my Interests, but I still think it is important. And I would suggest that it was important to most if not all Maori weather they are Ratana or not.

I dont think it matters if the Government visit this faith or any other, some comment was raised that they dont go to other faiths AGM's and the like, but I would think that they would have some rather intimate networks into alot of those Organizations.

At the end of the day the Government is never gonna snub this regardless of how few Maori are Actual Ratana so we just have to lump it, or go and do something about it.

I choose to Lump it.
