merger rumours inaccurate
apparently the Maori Party and the Alliance are set to merge - this is not the case and is merely a media construct - while we are about to have a big discussion at our regional conferences (in August) about our electoral strategy (and future), and that will probably include talking about our relationship (if any) with the Maori Party (and the Greens, and the Progs, and Labour), there have certainly been no "negotiations".
personally i would be opposed to a merger, for reasons i will probably come back and expand upon when i'm not quite so busy.

well i'm pretty sure now that a merger won't happen. my instinct is that the membership are generally against it. of course we haven't really talked about it. plus there is no indication from the Maori party that they would want us!
(not that i'm happy about what happened with our president, far from it!)
