You can’t sack an MP for allegations, they have to be proven. Horan is not employed by NZF but Parliamentary Services. He denies wrongdoing. So, Winston can sack him from NZF as a member for conduct...

Brendon clearly didn’t see the example of how to bluster his way out of this with a “NO” sign… I hear it works for NZ First crooks.
