Last Wednesday National ruled out working with Te Paati Māori in any kind of coalition agreement.

National leader Christopher Luxon cited broad ideological differences, but some have raised concerns about his tweet where he implied Māori get more than one vote under MMP.

They spoke to Māori Studies Professor and Te Rūnanga-ā-iwi o Ngāti Kahu chair Margaret Mutu.
