It’s a slightly odd message from Labour over the Māori Party as they try and work out how to deal with them. The truth is they will need them to form a government if they get their own numbers to a point of victory. There is no way the Greens and Labour alone will come close to crossing the line first. Small reiteration, in case you missed it a mon…
