because we have representation without taxation.
the options are
National: Communist ACT: Communist (in practice - since they've been in perpetual alliance with National) Labour: Communist Green: Communist Mana: Communist (Maori Preference) Maori: Communist (Maori Preference) NZ First: Communist 1Law4All: Communist (White Preference) Conservative: Communist, Christian
the question is not why so few people vote in bi-elections, or in Maori seats normally. The question is why so many people bother to vote at all.

Another reason: the racist seats are an anachronism and should be abolished.
The interesting one in this set is Mana --- does it reflect how close the by-election is likely to be.
