Speaker of the House The Hon. Dr. Lock Wood Smith, asked list MP's what they want to be called or known as, stating that they cannot be called the eg: National List MP - Manukau East: As this is for a Constituent MP -
Dr Smith opened a can of worms, as a raft of stupid ideas come back from various List MP's:
I think Party List MP - Electorate: Is correct as a Constiuent MP - is Simply MP Tamaki:
List MP being the some what subtle difference:
My advice to the speaker, dont bother, as you have now discovered I hope that many of these MP's dont even take things seriously. - With a range of stupid names:
How about Useless MP - or not good enough MP to a seat: Lets just get rid of them all together, how about calling them un employed. How about toothless MP.
In Onehunga we have Sam our MP and he has an Office, just around the corner the Labour Party has an Office with three list MP's all not good enough to win a seat, or snuck in the back door on the Party list.
So what do we call them, a good start is probably their name, the interesting thing about a List MP is they know they are not quite a full MP, especially if they ran in a Electorate and were rejected. So they kinda hate the world for not accepting their ways, they are always right etc.
The good point that was raised by the herald is who do they expect to call them by these new names, as I wont:
