Okay well me being wrong in some limited situations doesn't change my overall point.
Why does he always look like he is biting his lower lip, orgasming constantly or at least trying to abstain from orgasming

patiently waiting for the herald editorial about how the replacement isn't a white man and is therefore bad for attracting national voters

Hopefully not Chloe, I suspect her popularity would wain if she was associated with the powerlessness of minor opposition party co-leader. Also I don't think she needs the additional vitriol.

i think swarbrick is unlikely given how many times she's said she wasn't interested in a leadership role over her local representation one

It's a foregone conclusion that Chloe will be the next leader. She has already decided to put her name forward and there's literally no way the party would elect someone else over her.

So this is a dumb question. Probably even one google would answer but I'm lazy and that'd involve opening chrome.
How do politicians who aren't in cabinet get paid? Or do they all need real person jobs until their time comes.

You mean outside parliament?

Outside cabinet includes some ministers, non ministerial MPs and opposition. They'd all be on Parliamentary services payroll. It's actually a full time job even if you're an opposition list MP.

For outside parliament, like being #28 on the list and they've only got 27 MPs, you'd be needing your own source of income.

Cabinet is a small portion of the government, members of parliament all get a salary, ministers in cabinet get a bigger one. If you're not in Parliament you don't get paid.
