Greens to lift vote for Maori MPs
The Green Party has published its list for the election, with four Maori in the top 20.
Co-leader Metiria Turei is at number one.
Votes by party members moved David Clendon to 11. One up from the draft rankings released in March, but Denise Roche and Marama Davidson each dropped a place, to 14 and 16 respectively.
With two polls released on the weekend putting the Green share of the vote at 10 or 11 percent, they could both miss out on a seat in parliament.
The One News Colmar Brunton poll and 3 News' Reid Research poll both showed a 20 point gap between Labour and National, and indicated National could govern alone.
