I think your take is probably the most balanced, and most accurate, I’ve seen for a while

Agree, very unusual for a politics thread

I see Benny Doyle has resigned from Parliament. Jumped or pushed?

Another Green MP that was ill suited to parliament.

And I don’t necessarily mean his world view but the resilience and strength of personality that being a MP in the public eye requires in todays world.

I'm thinking there might have been more to hit the fan shortly

a Friday 4pm press release does mean they're trying to bury the news.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

But until then he’ll play the victim card. Weak.

How about waiting for some facts. I know it's hard for you lot.

Well now he’s jumped, more controversy may never come out becomes he’s a nobody now.

We’ve also speculated this week on Luxon getting dumped so we’re equal opportunity gossipers.

I couldn’t care less if they/them’s done anything else, just a weak individual who was never going to add any value… unlike all the other high achievers in parliament haha

Was only a week or two back that people were rubbishing the possibility of Luxon being rolled when an article came out about Willis giving a speech when typically it would come from the pm and her acting naive to the allegations that she’s gunning for his job

I think there’s a decent chance she also gets rolled

 

[Noitall]

Doesn’t mean she’s not one with her hat in the ring. Her demotion would come from a new leaders reshuffle, and politics is cutthroat that some assurances might need to be given to her to give someone a vote they require to take out Luxon?

Is this like the Gol shoplifting saga - Wait for the facts!

How many MP’s have the Greens churned through this term? I’ve lost count. Wasn’t Doyle already a replacement for another failed mp?

The Greens are becoming the Chloe party (to go with the Winston and Seymour parties).

The Greens are a bunch of misfit wannabe anarchists. The party for losers and people stupid enough to think the environment is still their primary reason for existence.

On a tangent, I was thinking about this the other day:

What’s the difference between those sovereign citizens types and the Māori party activists?

I can’t tell the difference… both see themselves as sovereign and the rules don’t apply to them!

Yeah was thinking the same thing. māori party are just a bunch of racists with zero respect for the system. Another misleadingly named party because they certainly don’t represent the majority of māori.

The funny thing is, Doyle will replaced with a guy that came 4th in his electorate. Talk about scraping

Shane Jones and now Stuart Nash joining NZ First.

Once Winston steps down it will be Labour lite. Good long term prospects for Labour!
