Mana Party?

For a quick moment, this is sounding like Bolehland. Mana Party? Where is the Party?
It is Elections year in Kiwiland and new parties are emerging...This is an interim party name to be set up by Hone Harawira, the ex Maori party MP from Te Tai Tokerau (most northern electrorate in the North Island).
Hone Harawira broke rank with his Maori Party over the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 which replaces the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004.He was left with no choice but to resign from the Maori party.
Hone Harawira is now famous for this email exposure as recorded in the Wikipedia: "Following his return from Europe, in November 2009, Hawawira was asked to repay some travel costs after skipping a taxpayer-funded conference in Brussels to go sightseeing in Paris.
"How many times in my lifetime am I going to get to Europe? So I thought, 'F*** it, I'm off. I'm off to Paris'," he said.
In a subsequent email exchange with a member of the New Zealand public who had criticised Mr Harawira's actions Mr Harawira lashed out at white people, stating "White motherf***ers have been raping our lands and ripping us off for centuries and all of a sudden you want me to play along with their puritanical bullshit....And, quite frankly, I don't give a shit what you or anyone else thinks about it. OK?".

Mana Party may eventually adopt a new name: Honi Party?
