Will's Word: Sāmoa's Reality TV parliament, who will get voted off this week?

Sāmoa's parliament is looking less like a governing body and more like a blimmin' reality TV show where the contestants keep voting each other off.

The Prime Minister, who might I remind you, just survived a no-confidence vote, is apparently facing yet another one.

This time, the motion comes from the Chairman of the Fast Party, ironically, the very party Fiamé Naomi Matafa was leading until they decided to give her the boot.

Honestly, Sāmoa's parliament just seems messy, and frankly it's been messy for a while, at least from the outside looking in.

But what's happening now is next-level political chaos. It's one thing to challenge a leader when they've clearly lost the support of parliament or the public, right?

It's another to keep throwing no-confidence votes at the wall just to see what sticks.

At some point you have to ask, when is enough, enough? Some would argue the Prime Minister deserves the chance to see out her term.

Perhaps I fall in that camp. She's already had to deal with in-party fighting, opposition attacks, and now a minority government situation, not to blimmin' mention the actual job of being Prime Minister.

Constant instability does absolutely nothing for progress, if history is any guide across the world.

Leaders need time to lead, and countries need stability to function.

Perhaps there was also this bizarre suggestion that was made to media where it says that there's always a better man, which was perhaps made by the chairman of the Fast party.

It's not exactly a confidence-inspiring argument, is it, when you're trying to remove Sāmoa's first female Prime Minister? Is she being challenged for her policies? Or because some people just aren't comfortable with a woman in charge?

Honestly, the line between political manoeuvring and misogyny is looking pretty thin, frankly.

At the end of the day, she should be able to see out her term, and then when the next election comes along, people can make the decision whether or not she's the right person for the job.

This infighting, this political turmoil that's happening within the halls of power in Sāmoa, frankly, some would argue, needs to stop. Because enough is enough.

That's Will's Word.
