Party explainer

Not enough Te Pāti Māori voters have taken the survey yet

The pages for the other parties explain where each party's voters sit on the compass, and why. Too few people who would vote for Te Pāti Māori have taken the survey so far to do that for them as a group.

This survey is not a poll. The people who took it are younger, more online and further left than New Zealand as a whole. A Te Pāti Māori voter here is a person who said they would vote for Te Pāti Māori if there was an election today.

  1. Step 1 of 2

    Where the Te Pāti Māori dot sits today

    The Te Pāti Māori dot on the live compass sits left of centre.

    It is the average position of the few Te Pāti Māori voters who have taken the survey so far, so treat it as rough. It will move as more of them answer.

    Until there are more of them, this page does not describe Te Pāti Māori voters as a group: where they cluster, which statements set them apart, or how they choose a party.

  2. Step 2 of 2

    Where do you sit?

    Answer the same 60 statements and see where your own dot lands among the party dots. It takes about ten minutes.

How we did this

Your answer to a statement, times that statement's weight on each axis, moves your dot. The party dots come from the live compass. The hexagons use the answers as of the date at the top.

A party gets a full page once enough of its voters have answered for their averages and shares to hold steady. Until then, its page shows only its dot from the live compass.

The methodology page has the rest.

KiwiValues is an independent survey and does not support or oppose any party. Where a party sits here describes how its voters answered, not how anyone should vote.
