In a mindbogglingly inane contributory *NZ Herald* article Rob Campbell, chairman of Auckland’s casino (among other sinecures) asks, “Who on earth is being hurt by co-governance?”. I’ll answer that by stating the obvious. We all are.

In a democracy the underlying principle is an equal value vote accorded every citizen, regardless of their intellectual differences, contribution to society, ethnicity, and so on.

It’s hard to think of a more disgraceful abuse of this principle than according 50% of governance to an ethnic group that makes up a mere 2% of the population, that is citizens with 50% or more of Maori ethnicity. It’s not bloody hard Rob.

Being fashionably trendy about fictitious Maori wonderfulness will be the principal reason (among many others) the government will be decimated in the next election.
