Whaitiri hadn’t had the decency to give any of them a heads up. Not even Willie Jackson, the man she had co-chaired Labour’s Maori caucus alongside. And then not afterwards either. She wouldn’t take any calls. Not even from the Prime Minister.
If they felt angry, they hid it. Jackson said he was disappointed. They “were mates”. Kelvin Davis was understanding: “Obviously she had her reasons”. Kiri Allan joked about being sent to to talk to Whaitiri, being unable to talk her around, instead being invited to do the same and defect.
Lols. Apparently a minister quitting five months out from an election was just No Big Deal.
The Maori Party returned the courtesy. No one said anything unkind about Labour. Not co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer on the day after the defection, in an interview when she was handed chance after chance to smash Labour for going soft on Maori reforms.
Not even Whaitiri, the woman who was unhappy enough in Labour to do the remarkable thing of defecting, who was upset enough to not take phone calls. Not even she said anything critical of the government she had just left. That is why no one actually knows why she defected. Because telling us would be criticising Labour. And clearly, that’s not in the strategy.
Neither side pulled the legal trigger to kick Whaitiri out of Parliament. Instead, they seemed to go out of their way to work around the law to avoid that.
Everyone was playing nice. Because the election depends on it.

What we are seeing is a willingness on the part of Labour and the Maori Party to subvert the law so that they can then gerrymander the results of the election to favour them both. They need to play nice because they are going to have to work together after the election in order to have a chance at governing.
The polls show this to be the case. Everyone knows it, but what we are seeing is our ‘betters’ telling us that pesky little things like laws don’t really have to be followed.
It sets a very bad example for us all but they simply don’t care. They don’t even bother justifying it, they just do it, thumb their noses and effectively tell us all to suck it up.
The Green Party are no better, with their own shenanigans over Elizabeth Kerekere. Again the hypocritical parties of the left are thumbing their noses at us all, because it is convenient for them.
Just imagine what these illegitimate parties will do when acting together as a government. We are highly likely to see the end of democracy as we know it, in favour of a venal tribalism and separatist government, coupled with the madness of hard-left socialism further impoverishing this nation as they seek to attack the rich and give to the indolent and indigent.
The fact they think nothing of breaking the law to achieve it, tells us everything we need to know about how much respect these clowns have for the rule of law. Sadly, they may just get away with it because the media are complicit and the public are indifferent.
Meanwhile the leader of the opposition was last seen playing butler to Richie McCaw:

This deserves a well merited comment, so I will sit and think of a suitable statement to make. It might take sometime, so do not rush me to "go to print".
Oh, the other comment - "Kiri Allan joked about being sent to to talk to Whaitiri, being unable to talk her around, instead being invited to do the same and defect". I am recently "advised", that the relationship between these two, is more that of "work Colleagues"! "Can one read more of the Tealeaves on this, more than one should"?
The real purpose of these events is very clear - and very alarming for our democracy.
Were this plan to succeed, then:
.there will be mass exodus
and, when/if this departure is stopped or assets are confiscated:
this will trigger civil unrest.
In response to Anonymous (said)..
Just keep in mind, when it comes to Civil Unrest, that "dear Jacinda (on advisement from those who stand in the shadows) - removed from ALL Law Abiding NZ Gun Owners, firearms, that could be deemed a risk to Govt, should The Populace Rise in a Civil Action against the Govt of the Day".
This "is current thinking by the Democrat Party, in America".
My opening statement is not "a conspiracy thought", the whole process, that occurred was NOT about "another radical [in NZ], with a gun shooting people" (the last time was in Aramoana, South Island), but to remove a weapon/weapons that had the potential to be used for/in/during - "other means and/or intent". It is what a Socialist Govt would do.
Strange, since then look at the numerous NZ gun violations that have occurred and ask yourself - by whom?
