Green Party delegates have voted to ask Speaker Gerry Brownlee to remove the now independent Darleen Tana from parliament.

It's now down to Brownlee to decide if Tana's resignation from the party —but not Parliament— affects the proportionality of the House.

Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls told Ryan Bridge the party was previously against the legislation even being in place.

He says it's remarkable for as many delegates to come together and agree, and it draws a line under the situation.

He said former co-leader Metiria Turei being involved was a surprise move, as even Chloe Swarbrick had no idea she would be contributing to the call.
