		But another was to limit Maori voting strength; there were 72 "general" seats in 1867 and Maori would have been entitled to many more than four seats if their proportion of the population was taken into account.
		But it was not till the 1943 election that the four seats; "the four pillars" as they became known in Maoridom; all fell to Labour.
