Last week we saw a Green MP leading an anti-Semitic crowd in a war chant to destroy Israel.
And just days earlier both Green party leaders promised to amplify opposition to ACT’s policy to hold a referendum about the Treaty principles.
Clearly, it’s a party that is now more extreme than it is green.
The Maori party chimed in with its own threats. They promised action to close down cities and a hikoi of all hikois if the new coalition government dared to challenge Maori privilege.
The question is will the new government cave in to bullies or will it let democracy prevail?

What we have seen from the greens is their immaturity and in ability to think critically. Chanting slogans is not leadership material.
If for no other reason than the threats of the use of mass public violence voiced by opponents of a referendum on the meaning of the Treaty of Waitangi we must most definitely hold such a referendum.
For the possibility of them backing their words with the use of such such violence is very real and believable. We see it from them far too often.
Democracy must never cower in front of such threats of violence.
If Mr Luxon fails to follow Act's lead in this matter he may well be no more than a junior coalition partner in the next Government.
