  • For everyone elese who didn’t know, the current “Waka Jumping” law in NZ allows the leader of a political party to demand the resignation of a member of Parliament who leaves their party. Sounds like the Greens are wary of the law in general, so they require an internal 75% vote for their leader to request the ejection.

    The ejected member will be replaced via a new election, if they represent a district, or by the next person on the party list if they were from the proportional vote.
