It already is (and was long before any ads)

This is an extremely vague statement that focuses on me instead of showing me and people like me where exactly we are wrong. Majority rule absolutely is common denominator in most democratic systems, so show me how it isn't.

I do not disagree with their action, in contrary it's refreshing to see politician with consciense that try to actually do what they are hired to do. Question is - what now? If other parties would do the same and just stop session without any reprecussion (because they hold majority, or due to other reasons).

Thank you, I've learned a new english word today. 😺

Conceptually it looks like a flaw in the system and in my opinion is undesirable, do you disagree?

This does look like they are specifically singled out, true.

Regretfully, democracy can be viewed as a dictature of majority over minority. I don't think that there can be any clear cut answer to it. As for colonizers vs colonized, how far back do you consider this should go? As in any person of european descent forever in the future will be considered colonizer instead of people born on this land?

Elaborate, what exactly do you think is wrong with my post?

If they are underrepresented, why other Maori don't vote for their party? Is there some kind of voter suppression scheme going on? If there is that's probably was a right move that can move this problem out of unspoken/shadow consensus, if there isn't then it's just one party disrupting parliament because they can't get what they want.

Please, educate me what did I get wrong from reading the article? Or was your comment just for public shaming?

Do you believe that every party in every parliament in the world should be able to just stop parliament from working instead of trying to actually vote for laws/bills the way they think is right because they are sure that they are right and their voice aren't being heard (even if they are minority in the said parliament or don't have quorum)?

It was a performance point of which was disruption of parliament session, which was achieved. (I have 0 stakes in this, NZ might as well be in another universe)

I've just stated that it's a possibility, and at worst. These things really happen, if rarely, point was it's better not to force an issue if other party is unwilling.

I won't allow them to make public speeches, cameras will always stop recording, and microphones won't work. When they wohld need to answer questions they won't be able to open their mouth or they won't hear what the question was, if my telekinesis allows to manipulate light, they will constantly miss things and won't be able to see things. Actually if anything but injuring them allowed in the 10 meter sphere, you can ruin their careers in matter of days if not hours.

Sometime I forget that wrongthink is not allowed around lemmy. You are perfectly fine with giving right answer even if it can bring horrible result.

First, religion is not a race. Second, I'm from place where muslims (very secular ones at it) are significant minority. Third, I've been in the situation outlined, and heard of similar from people in this situation.

Also there were at least two religiously minded honor killings that I know of one involved tatar (muslim) family, another cyhan (christian) family.

You probably can find some people on old school windows forums, also different warez/piracy forums. You can also try to show off on hackernews/lobsters, sometimes people there just love small projects like yours.

With exception of religious celebrations like easter or ramadan, I don't think there are any long term dedicated celebrations. At least here in my part of eastern europe.

They aren't critical.

At least 41 airplane is partially or completely disabled.
