"If the Maori get it, we want it too."

That's the rallying cry of The Pakeha Party, a new group which stands for "equal rights for pakeha" - and its founder David Ruck claims there's no racism involved.

The group was borne out of Mr Ruck's opposition to Mana's recent policy announcement of a new Maori home loan scheme.

I bet this is going to be labeled as racist.

You can bet your bottom dollar.

It'll be seen as right-wing, fascist, neo-nazism.

He launched a Facebook page. Long way from registering a party.

More racist, less racist or equally racist in comparison to either the Mana or Maori party?

Now the million dollar question is do you think the Maori party is also racist? 




I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup. Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

This Pakeha Party: "We Stand for equal rights for Pakeha"

Whats so racist about that? Nobody is suggesting more rights?

Both Maori and Mana Parties are always talking about more rights for just Maori. Racist if you ask me.
