But guess what. Today in the House as MPs gathered for what is the most consequential event of the year – the Budget, one party had half of its MPs missing – including both co-leaders. That was TPM of course.
Again they have no interest in governing, legislating or scrutinising. If they did, their co-leaders would be there. To be honest I doubt anyone would notice any difference once they are suspended for 21 days.

I have no doubt that the absence of the TPM leaders considerably improves Parliament and it's proceedings.
It would be a stellar improvement if the Maori seats were abolished immediately, with them and TPM out of the way, things might run smoother as all they do is run interference and add no value whatsoever to humankind or New Zealand.
Clearly not need for the maori seats. Even the incumbents can't be bothered with them.
Pretty strong message that timing is now right for them to go.
They probably wouldn't have been able to make any meaningful contribution because they don't begin to understand economics. They remind me somewhat of the 'cargo cults' I came across in Melanesia.
