As a list MP once she leaves her party she should no longer be in Parliament.  She should no longer be an MP.  She does not have any mandate to remain.

Pay attention. She has yet to formally resign from the Labour party as far as the PM is concerned. Those are the rules I was referring to.

Pay attention.  I'm not referring to Meka Whitiri.  See the clue was when I said list MP.

Apologies for not hanging on your every word. 'Mad women's fart' sort of explains that. I was still processing the OP.

So like Ardern, not really an apology.  Maybe next time don't just jump onto a post without understanding the context.

I know it must be soul destroying for you when everytime you get bored to tears with your usual perch and have to resort to popping in here for a bit of stirring, to be met with argument and stone throwing, instead of your well deserved applause and genuflection. It must be very hard to bear such an assault on your psyche, and I can only stand in admiration of the personal strength and resilience you must have in order to keep coming back time after time in the face of it.

Good onya mate.

Not at all.  But I do love it when certain posters shove their foot squarly in their mouth because they are so quick to try and shoot down someone else's opinion.  Always worth a smile.

Also I find it interesting that my reference to reading comprehension is removed yet the poster I was replying to who referred to me as an "old woman's fart" didn't have the same consideration.

Yes, I've been wondering that too. Different questions for both of the current "jumpers" but both need to be asked. The one who is just a list MP now has no mandate whatsoever to be there so I can't see how she still is. And the one who has an electorate needs to formally resign from Labour and be an independent until the election. I don't see how she can represent the Maori party until the election gives her a seat.
