The people lead the Party - Turia

The people lead the Party - Turia

By: Felix Marwick | Latest Political News | Wednesday March 20 2013 5:09

The Maori Party may end up with no parliamentary leader at all.

Following debate earlier this year over the current leadership and potential succession plans, the Party's looking at a model that would see its three MPs take leadership in areas of their respective strengths.

Co-leader Tariana Turia says it wouldn't be a three way co-leadership and maintains it's the people that lead the Party.

"The people determine how things should happen and we're here to facilitate that."

Ms Turia says from a western political perspective it could mean the Party would have no leader in Parliament.
