He played right into the hands of Winston Peters who treated the tea party incident as a hot topic in a public meeting in Whangarei a couple of days later. The drubbing given to the PM by Winston Peters probably contributed to the excellent result or Peters in the election on the 26th November. He held his seat and took eight NZ First politicians with him into parliament. 'Cuppa haka' is a wordplay on 'kapa haka' which means something like 'Maori performing arts'.
