Two major polls on Tuesday showed that New Zealand's Labour jumped five percentage points following Jacinda Ardern's shock resignation. Kiwis are glad to see the back of her too, it seems.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s popularity has plunged to the lowest level since she entered Government, according to the latest polling, which puts opposition parties on course to win the election next year.
It may be the beginning of the end for Jacinda Ardern, says Nicholas Sheppard, as rumours of her stepping down soon are now frequently being put to journalists.
One of the many charges levelled at Brazil's President Bolsonaro is that his sceptical handling of the pandemic was "disastrous". A comparison with other countries, however, quickly shows that to be nonsense.
New Zealand has extended its lockdown, introducing more restrictions as the Delta variant spreads beyond Auckland. When will Jacinda Ardern admit defeat and acknowledge that the Zero Covid policy is a pipe dream?
