Today on Politics Wednesday\xa0National\u2019s Mark Mitchell and Labour\u2019s Duncan Webb joined Mike Hosking to dig into some of the biggest political topics of the week thus far.\xa0

Darleen Tana is still undecided as to whether she\u2019ll resign from Parliament. \xa0

She has resigned from the Green Party, which is urging her to quit Parliament after a report on her knowledge of alleged migrant exploitation at her husband's business.\xa0

Tana told 1News that if she hasn\u2019t decided whether she\u2019ll resign from Parliament by Sunday, she'll likely be sitting come Tuesday.\xa0

Labour\u2019s Duncan Webb told Mike Hosking that she should pack her bags.\xa0

He said she came in on the Green\u2019s ticket, and since the Greens don\u2019t want her, she shouldn\u2019t be an MP anymore.\xa0

\u201cLeave with dignity, find something else to do.\u201d\xa0

National\u2019s Mark Mitchell agreed, telling Mike Hosking that Webb summed it up very well.\xa0

He said that Green co-leader Chloe Swarbrick has handled the situation quite well considering their party\u2019s vehement opposition to the waka jumping bill and the difficult situation they\u2019re in.\xa0
