Election day 2017. Who would I vote for?



Education Policy
Health Policy
Housing Policy
Party Name
Maori Party
Maori Party
Labour
Policies I support
* Ensure all young people leave school with a driver licence, bank account, IRD number and a CV
*Provide free primary and secondary education to all children
*Halve power bills for households with rheumatic fever
*
*Develop a national strategy for ending homelessness
*Build at least 1,000 state houses each year until demand is met
Reasons why
I choose this party because it gives me a bit more assurance about my future when I leave high school
I would vote for the party because for Maori & Pacific people there are many crowded homes which could cause rheumatic fever and it's become a bigger issue. So what this party has to offer could not only help out a family but save someone’s life.
I chose the party for housing as housing is a very big issue in my community. I agree with the changes they are willing to make as it will help and change the financial situation of many people
Who’s Party Policy is this  ?
The Maori Party

The Maori Party
Labour Party

After deciding which policy I would vote for I realized that I want more of what the Maori Party had to offer. As the policies were anonymous and were only labeled from A - E I had to choose the policy which I would vote for without knowing which Party owned that policy. This was an eye opener as I would just vote for Labour without knowing what their policies are. So this has made me wiser in voting in the Election in the future. I am voting for the Maori party based on their education & health policy. They are not only shaping the country into a better place but also changing and helping everyone. Not just a particular race. So I am with the Maori Party :)
