There are examples of countries that when their leaders retired, they handed over the top job to their wives. Are we seeing this in the Cook Islands now? By Wilkie Rasmussen This subheading is a misleading, insulting and offending information to the Manihiki people, for the record and factual. Manihiki people have the right to choose who they want to represent them in the Parliament seeing the fruit and seed Henry Puna plant in their lives to get what they need and nothing else to do with anybody thinks and dream in the sunshine. Stop the nonsense and get on with their lives. Manihiki speak out loud and clear in the majority. Tina admit it that they are wrong and Demo should not get in at all.
