This blog was dedicated to the monitoring of latest developments in Central, Regional and Local politics from its base in New Zealand's capital city, Wellington. The blog was run by a team with unique insights into latest developments. The Hive was not politically aligned, but did support policy that was best for the growth of business and the economy. Given the obvious interest from our readership The Hive from time to time delved into the politics of other countries or regions.

Which Way Will The Maori Party Go?
Will Turiana Turia return to the Labour fold or will she go with National? This issue is much in discussion today. Matthew Hooton suggests on page A9 of the SST good reasons why she would be best to go with National (we have been of this view for ages). But No Minister reports that Maori might be about to become the third Axis partner. At what price? Helen Clark's resignation. Interesting post from No Minister. Cunliffe and Goff won't be too happy with it.
