Abstract
The Democratic Audit of the UK is the latest, and most comprehensive, schema designed to measure the extent of democracy within a country. However, like its predecessors, it fails to say anything on another area of recent interest: the representation of specific groups, or a ‘politics of presence’. Using New Zealand and the position of Maori as an example, the ability of the Democratic Audit to detect discontent based on the political voice of a group will be examined. Finding that while some of the criteria are sensitive to symptoms of Maori discontent none tap the underlying feeling, new criteria are suggested.
