National Party Party Votes in Tamaki Makaurau

Continuing from yesterday's analysis , and owing to National launching their Maori wing last night
as seen in these pictures

I thought it a good idea to show the data that says why it's a silly idea (their Party vote in Tamaki Makaurau is pitiful). Also, last time I checked, they are still voting against Maori seats, in line with their Anti Maori Seat policy.

See their stats below from the Electoral Commision.
