Some members wear Victorian clothes and jade jewelry, while others refuse to wear neckties. “When you want to get a message out fast, fashion is a way to do it,” said Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, the co-leader of Te Pati Maori, who has worn a high, vintage lace collar and a tophat — a reclamation of the era when her ancestors first engaged with the British, who began colonizing New Zealand in the early 1800s — to Parliament. About 17% of New Zealand’s population identifies as Maori. Te Pati Maori, a minority party, has proposed policy changes, including decoupling New Zealand from the British monarchy and enacting a wealth tax. But it has faced criticism from the right that it exhibits too much political showmanship with few concrete results.
