I'll only beg you for RTs once very 3-7 years, and today's the day - on this one pls: https://t.co/lTC42IehEX

I've been working on this for almost half my career, and it all rides on how today goes. It means the world to us if you can grab it today specifically. 🧡🧙‍♂️

I have been moving, and I found my old Far Side books underneath the bed. If you are my age or thereabouts, nearly 25% are instantly memorable, nay legendary. It's the greatest single-panel strip of all time. But I think this might be the best of all, and if I'm wrong prove it.

[Francis Kirkpatrick @FrakirkNoble]

@EerjkMcRaeOF I'm sorry if I misunderstood your point, but what were you calling a promotion of separatism in that case?
Might be best if we go our separate ways at this point though, since we're clearly not very receptive to each other's arguments.
No worries and have a good one! 👍👍

[Francis Kirkpatrick @FrakirkNoble]

@EerjkMcRaeOF 1) Calling the current form of Māori electorates separatism is a weak and misrepresentative bit of rhetoric.
2) Māori can decide what's in their own best interest, and generally speaking Māori political groups have been in favour.
3) That doesn't rebut my any of my points so far.

[Francis Kirkpatrick @FrakirkNoble]

@EerjkMcRaeOF The Māori text was still offered by the Crown, so ambiguities within it still need to be interpreted against the interests of the Crown and in favor of Māori. To interpret it to simply be assuring a minimal form of equality is a biased reading bastardising the truth for pol gain.

[Francis Kirkpatrick @FrakirkNoble]

@EerjkMcRaeOF In that case however, if we're going by a holistic interpretation of the treaty and its ambiguities, we come back to contra proferentem, and any good-faith attempt at that provides significant guarantees of political authority for Māori.

[Francis Kirkpatrick @FrakirkNoble]

@EerjkMcRaeOF I don't see how the treaty including "all other people" undermines the explicit provision of sovereignty/authority/chieftainship for Māori. Guaranteed Māori rep in govt is the bare minimum required to protect those rights. Anything less would make article 2 meaningless.

[Francis Kirkpatrick @FrakirkNoble]

@EerjkMcRaeOF It totally does though, how else could "the absolute chieftainship of your lands, your homes, and all your treasures/taonga" be reasonably interpreted? It's a tricky topic, but at least this specific part of it is very straightforward.
