I agree with Winston re standards slipping but not with all the examples he cites. He is part of the problem not part of the solution and he could start be reining in his own MPs, one of whom at least is known for displays of contempt of the people he was elected to serve , both inside and outside parliament.
Slipping standards are a result of Maori Party representatives and a weak "Speaker" regime. Perhaps a fearful National Party, especially it's leader Luxon, not Winston Peters or David Seymour.

What Winston doesn't do is identify the slipping standards of honesty - the continual misrepresentation and straight out lying from ministers and MPs.

Any choices for best behaved?
