Tana loses

The Herald reported:

The Green Party is clear to expel Darleen Tana from Parliament after the High Court declined Tana’s application for judicial review.

The decision paves the way for party delegates to meet and decide whether to use the waka-jumping law to oust Tana from Parliament, where she now sits as an independent MP.

This is as I predicted. It seems highly likely that the Greens will vote to expel her.

Personally I still want the law scrapped. If parties select dud candidates, they should bear the consequences of their laxity rather than being able to just shuffle them off.
