None of those examples were in the Westminster system however, which places a premium on the conduct within the chamber.

And I guess a bunch of men shouting and banging on tables is the height of civilization

The only way your point makes any sense is if you think British cultural history is more important than Maori cultural history.

Nothing to do with cultural history. Thems the rules, they swore oaths to abide by the rules, they break the rules, they get sanctioned. It’s a simple process of cause and effect. It has nothing to do with the content of their position.
