Going along with Lucyna's theme of the end of democracy, it is interesting to see that with the resignation of Gordon Copeland from United Future and going independent, we have an MP only in parliament because he was a list MP of United Future. Now that he isn't part of United Future, should he really have a seat in parliament?
On the other hand, Copeland's position over the anti-smacking bill more accurately reflected the views of his constituency.
