The current Maori Party Leadership have exhibited their scorn and disdain for Westminster Parliamentary conventions.
They have proved they are not worthy of taking their seats in the Parliamentary Chamber or even to walk within the Parliamentary precincts.
They lack the good manners necessary to take seats in New Zealand’s Parliament.
They show no respect for all of those Parliamentarians of Maori Descent who have paved the way for them within the New Zealand Parliament since 1886.
They and their fellow Maori Party MP’s show no respect for the other 27 MP’s of Maori descent who currently sit in and make valuable contributions to the New Zealand Parliament. Even an activist like Willie Jackson knows when to back off and apologise for transgressions.
They have no appreciation of Parliamentary history and therefore no respect for the institution that is Parliament.
In this Parliament (from the October 2023 election) they have contributed nothing positive to the Governance of New Zealand and its people.
They do not value the positions they hold or the people that elected/selected them to their positions.
IT IS TIME FOR THE SEATS TO GO!!!!!!!
It won’t happen and we all know why, they were and are quite smug about it:
I’m no longer sure abolishing the racist seats is a good idea.
I can think of no better advertisement for voting right-wing than it being a vote to keep the TMP clowns as far from Government as possible.
I have no doubt a simple one poster campaign with the poster picturing the photograph of a bunch of clowns dancing on the floor in Parliament and stating “Vote NZF/Act, avoid this lot making laws” will garner more votes than there are TMP supporters.
Excellent point MTT.
A resounding yes from me pdm, however unless there is a seismic eruption in our political landscape the rust will continue to erode our once terrific little nation here deep in the south pacific until we have rusting car bodies on every section including the Native elites front lawns.
Any Maori with genuine desires to make something of their lives has either buggered off or joined the growing brigade of racist misfits wanting the glorious apartheid system with their continued wanting of race based largely inherited tribal leadership.
One aspect of the current drift to such an appalling replacement for democracy, the troubling behaviours so far avoid is the tribalism that underscores the racist rort.
Their clown show of Kingship is only for Tainui, so how long before Nga Pui, Ngai Tahu, Te Arawa, Ngati Parou and the mob now destroying the National Park around Waikaremoana decide they want some of the dreamed about status of fairytale royalty, nb lower case r there.
Of course so long as the indifference to education of the real world matter so many of the Natives indulge in remains, it will be quite some time before the kind of reaction that brought down “The Wall” might prevail.
