• Golriz Ghahraman

    From Gordon@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 11 23:41:00 2024
    Another MP behaving badly

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/133549684/golriz-ghahramans-political-career-in-danger-experts-say-she-should-front-up

    Good to see that both sides of the political spectrum are saying this needs
    to be cleared up.

    As it stands the guilty until proven innocent is applying. No smoke without fire.

    A by-election with her as the Green party candidate would be a good way of clearing the matter up.

    Interesting days ahead. Can Democracy rule?

    What a horrible belief to have - you must be a very sad individual.
    Yes I understand that the "Dirty Tricks" supporters of NAct may well
    push that view, but at this stage it is sad that such allegations have
    been made about any member of parliament. To pre-judge the issue if
    against the avowed principles of every party in parliament - but some
    parties are not prepared to go as far as to recommend such views to
    their members.
    You patronising fool - you judge all of the time, you tell people off for believing something that you don't like, you are the worst of all possible human beings in this forum. Grow up and leave other people to enjoy their rights and privileges - your hopes of an authoritarian and undemocratic regime are over thakfully ofr at least 3 years.

    That is putting the cart before the horse, but she is a list MP
    anyway, so there is no possibility of a by-election.

    Interesting days ahead. Can Democracy rule?
    Of course it can. Do you see any potential difficulties in that
    regard?

    As a private citizen going about your private affairs, “innocent until
    proven guilty” is the norm.

    As a person in a position of special power over the rest of us, the onus
    is on you to prove yourself squeaky-clean.

    While I agree in general Gordon, this assumes that Gharamen is guilty
    and honourable enough to resign. As a list MP there is no by-election
    so therefore if she were to resign she would be replaced by the next
    available Greens list candidate and would leave the current
    Parliament.

    Resigning and forcing a by election is only an option for electorate
    MPs.

    because of the allegation of theft on multiple occasions.

    Ain't reality a bitch. How could she let all her people down?
    Because none of them are actually ethical? She can hardly claim
    poverty now, can she? But she can claim Marxist entitlement to the
    property of others -- which is what the Greens actually stand for.
    The truth will no doubt become public but let us remember that there have been previous Green MPs (including one co-leader) who believed they had the right to steal. What a pathetic bunch of entitled nobody's.

    That link shows some very concerning possibilities. If true I would not be surprised but we wait to see.

    Which is precisely what I wrote
    - however the past theft by a co-leader was admitted by her and therefore that part of what I wrote is fact.
    So my entirte post was precise and accurate.
    There is no such mantra by any party except perhaps the Greens - oh wait - yes let us wait and see.
    Thank you for admitting that.
