Correct me if I’m wrong. The MPs were protesting a law that was going to strip Māori people of their rights. The MPs got suspended because they upset the decorum of Parliament.
Fucking base MPs.
22 year old in the legislator? I know New Zeeland has a lot of problems, but at least representation of anyone under the age of 60 isn’t one of them.
As much as I support younger people in power… How dpea a recent college grad pull this off?
Convincing people to vote for them.
Both Maipi-Clarke and her father were under consideration by Te Pāti Māori as candidates for the Hauraki-Waikato electorate. In the end, the party wanted a “youthful perspective”[14] and she was selected to contest the electorate at the 2023 election.
NZ has a very grim looking future, droves of younger generation fleeing the country due to unaffordable living, right wing government rolling back decades of hard work, and rich people flocking over for an end of the world bunker to peddle their money and influence onto the future NZ political landscape.
