The latest list with candidate profiles is here.
The Greens currently have 14 MPs.In the 2011 election, they got 11% of the party vote.
I’m particularly hoping that Marama Davidson gets in at #15 on the List.
As well as supporting movements on the ground, Marama is also an online activist. She has a powerful presence on social media, which she sees as a great way to vocalise important issues and to engage with the community. She is a blogger, and writes about social justice, Māori politics, women’s rights and more.
Marama is passionate about all areas of injustice, and is committed to using her voice wherever she can to elevate issues. She is inspired by community leaders who do the hard work and stay connected to the issues and the people in their neighbourhoods.
Marama is inspired by her nana, who passed away 15 years ago, as she was a woman who lived a lifetime of challenges. She is grateful to her parents who are wise and love their children unconditionally. She is also deeply inspired by our Māori language warriors.
Marama currently lives in East Tamaki, and is a proud mother to six tamariki.
8.04pm – Greens are sitting on 10.03% at the moment – 13 MPs, which is one less than they had for the last term. But they also picked up an extra seat when the overseas votes got added after election night. It’ll be interesting to see what their percentage is like when the advance special votes get added.
Green Party Twitter stream with tweets on-going tonight.
Update:
The last two tweets on the Green Party Twitter stream last night:
Looks like Marama won’t make it into the House this time. But good to hear she will be still out there in the community, struggling for people, communities and values that matter.
It’s good to see the Greens will maintain about the same number of MPs as for the last electoral term.
Go Greens. We need you in the House and in the communities!
