There would be a good % of Maori that would not agree with the Maori Party's direction.
Weka states she is going to sort out what should have happened 183 years ago. Wasn't that what the Treaty settlements were to fix.

Migration isn't good for wages but they dilute the maori radical vote.
Some migrants may even support NZ first which is surprising, or not, given the strict migrant policies they have back home esp in Asia.
‘Migration isn't good for wages but they dilute the maori radical vote.’

Not sure how you figure that: Maori get 7 apartheid electorate seats where they will likely vote several (radical) Te Pati Maori candidates into Parliament. No ‘dilution’ there: as far as I know immigrants don’t usually go on the Maori electoral roll.
Maori will cast their other vote - the ‘list’ one - in favour of Labour, to ensure more of that patented ‘delivering for Maori’ that Labour are so good at.
Well, there's always the option of calling for a second election (..it may not go well for whoever called it though).
NZ First to be big winner from Weka’s defection :

Could call 4 or 5 elections, but if the Leader is as weak as. with his arm twisted up his back hard by
minority factions like a puppet. then will the outcome be any different ?
Weka defecting must sow the seeds for more to defect or start doubting the Leadership ;)
Will it be a takeover (if they dare) or all take away and leave the Labour shelves bare of
already scant available talent ? ;)
The Greens imploding on their own internal disasters wont help ..

Labour's spin doctors starting to lose the plot or have they been jumping ship as well to become lobbyists now that the writing is on the wall for Oct 2023?
Small fry event indeed!
3 ministers in charge of Cyclone Gabrielle recovery in 3 months and 4 police ministers in 1 year.
A government and party in total disarray.
