Dame Rangimārie Naida Glavish ( ) (born 1946) is a New Zealand politician and Māori community leader from the Ngāti Whātua iwi. From 2013 to 2016, she was President of the Māori Party. Early life and career Glavish is affiliated to Ngāti Whātua and also of Croatian descent.

Their son, Frank (d. 2013), is Glavish's father; her mother is named Nohotakitahi. Before the Māori language revival of the 1980s, it was common for children with Māori first names to be called an anglicised name instead. Glavish's mother's name was abbreviated to Nora; she herself was called Naida rather than Rangimārie. When Glavish was twelve she was placed into state care after admitting to stealing clothes from a washing line; in a 2015 interview Glavish said it was actually a cousin who did this.

Mana Motuhake (political Party)
Mana Māori Motuhake was a Māori political party in New Zealand from 1980 to 2005. The name is difficult to translate accurately, but essentially refers to Māori self-rule and self-determination — , in this context, can be understood as "authority" or "power", while can be understood as "independent" or "separate". The purpose of the party was to unify Māori to gain 'political potency'. From 1991 to 2002, the party participated in the left-wing Alliance. History Early years Mana Motuhake was formed in 1980 by Matiu Rata, a former Labour Party member of parliament who had served as Minister of Māori Affairs in the third Labour government (1972–1975).

He announced that he would promote a movement based on "''mana Māori motuhake''". At Easter 1980, he launched the Mana Mo ...

2014 New Zealand General Election
The 2014 New Zealand general election took place on Saturday 20 September 2014 to determine the membership of the 51st New Zealand Parliament. Voters elected 121 members to the House of Representatives, with 71 from single-member electorates (an increase from 70 in 2011) and 49 from party lists. Since 1996, New Zealand has used the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system, giving voters two votes: one for a political party and one for their local electorate MP. The party vote decides how many seats each party gets in the new Parliament; a party is entitled to a share of the seats if it receives 5% of the party vote or wins an electorate. Normally, the House has 120 seats but extra seats may be added where there is an overhang, caused by a party winning more electorates than seats it is entitled to. The one-seat overhang from the 50th Parliament remained for the 51st Parliament, after United Future won one electorate when their 0.22% party vote did not entitle them to any ...
