So why is it that the Government is going against the advice of the Electoral Commission? It's very simple: they're trying to screw the scrum so they might get an electoral advantage. That is at the core. Well, why did Labour pass the bill taking away the right of members of Parliament to sit here without being fired by their leader, the waka-hopping legislation? Why did New Zealand First do that? It's because the New Zealand First Party is such a Mickey Mouse outfit that he's terrified his MPs will leave. He wants to have them in a straitjacket. If any one of them dared stand up—it's just another example of bad electoral law being driven by narrow political interests rather than actually acting in the interests of improving our democracy.
