    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.

      That’s an awesome name for a law. I’m guessing it’s a Maori term originally.

      Edit: Waka is a Maori word for a canoe. So I guess it means jumping out of the canoe?

          Right?! And then they like to post the stats of how many downvotes I get, even though they’re the ones leading the downvoting brigade. Then calling me a troll, even tho they are the ones stalking people. lmao

      Trust me friend, the fact that it’s only at -3 is small miracle in itself! lol Usually I get -40 within a day.

      Turns out that I made some people mad (ok, really really mad) and they follow me around to downvote, regardless of subject. Then they post stats of how many downvotes I get. A post in this very community that was removed for it. Look at how obsessive this dude got listing every single thing I’ve said and done LMAO. That’s some hate dedication: https://lemmy.world/modlog/2840?page=1&userId=1699372

      Weird, I know. But it is what it is. They had a big “Fuck That Horrible Coward, Universal Monk” party when I got a two-week ban in a community (for posting duplicate article from different sources): https://lemmy.world/post/21115183

      Not worth visiting the link unless you are really bored and want to see a very passionate crowd celebrating my demise. Just the usual boring “oh the guy’s a troll since he’s not voting with us. He’s probably paid by Putin!! Send him to the hounds!!!” nonsense. :)

      I advocated voting third party in the US election. Community NOT amused. To put it lightly! lol

      So yeah, that’s why when you see post from me, they’ll be downvoted really fast. Those guys really really hold a grudge. lmao

        Well. That isn’t the explanation I was expecting.

          The truth is that this poster is obnoxious and posts obvious flame bait.

          They get ratioed on almost everything they post because no one buys what they are selling.

          Yeah, it’s just as boring as it sounds too. Sorry!

          Though the creepy guy tracking my daily post stats and downvotes is kinda fascinating from a psychological point of view. I mean, can you imagine being so consumed by hate that instead of just blocking someone, you actually track their posts and downvotes every day, then share it?! lol. Hey, welcome to Lemmy, I guess. :)

    The US needs this kind of law. With multiple people switching from Dem to Rep after elections are done, it really undermines the will of the people. Most of them didn’t vote for that specific person because they love that specific person. They voted for someone who represents their ideal government. So when that person does a 180, it should open them up to being kicked out by the party or put up for a special election.

      And your example also emphasizes why it’s not a good idea to just blindly vote for someone just because of the letter by their name too.

      But I agree with you, I would like something like this for the US.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
