Comparing Party Votes of Labour and the Maori Party

Compiled this for other Political geeks like me who have an interest in Maori Politics.

It is interesting to see.
It examines Party Vote Data for Labour and the Maori Party from 2005 - 2017 (The time of the existence of the Maori Party).

It looks specifically at the Maori seats.

Fundamentally we see that the 2017 saw the highest swing to Labour not just in the 21st Century but also arguably the highest swing in all MMP History.

See the data below.
