The government has announced a fresh round of sitting under urgency as it continues to fix the mess caused by previous administrations, with one bold new initiative in legislation, to be put forward by the Prime Minister, allowing minor parties who failed to gain seats in a general election to be invited to form part of the government anyway.
“We think it’s only fair that everyone is represented in Parliament, even if they’re the only one who voted for themselves,” someone close, but not too close, to the Prime Minister told WWNews. “Democracy, as everyone knows, is not perfect so it doesn’t matter if we stuff it up completely.”
It’s expected, should the new bill become law, that the first unelected fringe political group to sit on government benches will be the Density Church Party, lead by Charismatic ArchAngel Braden Tumeke.
The Density Church Party is a perfect fit for National, the PM is said to have said. “They dress nicely, are polite to their partners and have aspirations to wealth and power just like us.”
“Sure they have some looney ideas, but have you read the NZ First manifesto?” the PM rhetoricised. “And don’t get me started on some of the whacko stuff ACT wanted to get through. And did. Density is much better aligned with National Party thinking”
Charismatic ArchAngel Braden Tumeke agreed. “That’s right,” he said. In return for supporting the National Government on confidence, supply and tax cuts to the rich and those in line for a good seat in Heaven, Tumeke said the Density party would require a couple of new laws.
“All pedestrian crossings will have to be perfectly straight and in black and white, along with the population,” he said. “And gold plated motorcycles will be continue to be illegal, apart from those ridden by certain high-ranked members of the Density Party. We also want our war cry I mean slogan “Enough is enough” to become government policy in regard to no more benefit increases, except for certain etc etc.”
The new bill is expected to pass through all three stages and become law by Friday, which would be slower than most recent bills.
