Maori Politics – a Game of Thrones

An excellent article at Newshub by Maiki Sherman who explains what is happening in Maori Politics with Game of Thrones analogies.

• Seven Kingdoms – seven Maori seats
• The King – Kīngi Tuheitia
• The King’s Hand – Tuku Morgan
• Arranged Marriage – Maori Party-Mana alliance
• The Princess – Nanaia Mahuta
• The Outcast – Andrew Little
• The Gatekeeper – John Key

A good read. I’d caution the Maori Party though that their arranged marriage could well turn out to be the Red Wedding!
