I wonder who the WEF have lined up to take over from Ardern. Is this Luxon chap a ‘young globalist leader’ by any chance?
And a tidy WEF sinecure for horse face so she won’t care anyway.
From what I read he is a solid right of centre type guy with views to match. Businessman and CEO of Air New Zealand. It looks like a coalition is the most likely possibility. No info on potential partners in power. You know how bad junior partners are for corrupting the plan.
Thanks for that.
The National Party is a typical centre-right managerialist party used to being a party of government and lacking a clear philosophy. The ACT Party is a classical liberal party with a strong commitment to individual freedom and limitations on the size and scope of the state. The best plausible outcome would be a coalition between the two with ACT in a strong position and able to prevent National drifting leftwards in government, as it usually does. There is much work to do to restore a strong economy and democratic governance based upon the equal civic status of all citizens rather than the privileged civic status for the Maori minority introduced by Ardern.
Neigh, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Perhaps it’ll give her something to chew on over Christmas.
It doesn’t matter, it’s all a charade anyway.
Yes her popularity is tanking but not because of the jibby jabs unfortunately!
Long live the fallen idols

The old nag’s job is done. She’ll be amply rewarded for her efforts in some shape or form. Do they have honours systems or such like in NZ?
The only system she should be in is that of a prison, alongside her multinational worldwide WEF colleagues.
Yup. Just look how Mary Robinson’s career worked out after a spell as Irish President. I bet she isn’t too anxious about paying her electricity bill.
I’ll wait and see…
The first thing is to never underestimate the stupidity of the voting public…(i.e re-election of ‘Dictator’ Dan Andrews’)
And second, are we supposed to trust the system any more?…Aren’t all elections decided before hand these days?….It’s hard to explain the re-election of so many despised ‘leaders’ throughout the West otherwise….
