The MK Party treats Parliament as a stokvel, and honestly, respect. You pay in your seats, you show up when the pot is being discussed, and you make absolutely certain you are present on payout day. Committee meetings are the monthly contribution nobody enjoys but everyone attends, because that is where the float is decided. The benches are the group chat. The Speaker is the treasurer who insists there is a process.
Like any stokvel, the point is not the constitution — it is who is in the circle and whose turn is next. Motions are tabled the way a member reminds the group it has been a while since their number came up. Walkouts are simply declining to contribute this month. And when the session collapses into points of order, that is not dysfunction; that is the AGM, comrade, where everyone agrees the money went somewhere and it was a wonderful thing to be part of. Soon, comrade. Soon.
