Copied from my talk page: The Maori Party (is) definitely (a) fascist organisation, as....one of the leaders of the so-called Maori Party, Tariana Turia was directly involved in leading illegal occupations of both private property & public parks (most notably, Moutoa Gardens in Wanganui back in 1995). Tariana Turia is hated by a lot of people. There are some people in Wanganui who want her to be put to death for treason, which the illegal occupation of Moutoa Gardens was. That is why (this) organisation must be listed as (a) fascist organisation. - (Aidan Work 03:40, 11 January 2006 (UTC))

My inclination is to say that this assertion is not sound, using the definition of fascism as above. However, more information on the Māori Party's economic policy and whether it subscribes to some kind of "leader principle" would be useful to know. --Stlemur 08:29, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

New Zealand Maori are hardly fascists. They may be Nationalistic to some degree but I hardly see them advocating collusion with big business and wanting to kill white people. The posting above is ridiculous and insulting to people who have suffered under real fascists such as in Italy and Germany. Dankru 09:26, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Honestly, as Stlemur said, the Māori Party has not got enough policy to be categorised. Their policies are seemingly solely based on the seabed and foreshore bill or Te Tiriti o Waitangi. On that basis alone it is not fascist and it is amusing to suggest that they are. If anything they are the Alliance reborn with a rigid Mana Motuhake back-bone; they're probably the furthest to the left of all the political parties in New Zealand, and may be the ideological-opposite of fascism. -- Greaser 01:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Greaser, the Maori party has neither the power or ideology to be classified as Fascist, although I personally don't agree with a party based entirely on playing the race card 222.153.172.203

Does anyone know if there is another party currently operating worldwide which uses an ethnic/ racial name as its title?

"Worldwide" ? Isn't this party only in NZ? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 10:45, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
