Is This the Beginning of the End For Jacinda Ardern?
Is it the beginning of the end for New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern? Nicholas Sheppard in the Spectator suspects so.
Next year’s election, in the latter half of 2023, is looking like an increasingly difficult proposition for Ardern’s government.
Labour has been sliding in the polls all year. In February, Jacinda Ardern’s party sat comfortably at 44.3%. On Sunday night, it was at 32.3%.
For the first time, there is genuine speculation about how long Ardern will stay on as leader and prime minister.
Labour’s post-2020 decline has been due to a number of factors. Covid, in particular, shifted from a winning issue to one that has given rise to seemingly non-stop problems. The cost of living is pushing many people to the limit, and the crisis is expected to drag on. Rising mortgage rates are sapping Kiwis’ finances.
Unfortunately for Ardern and Labour, much of this is likely to get worse over the next year. This can be partly attributed to a ‘Covid hangover’, as well as the Reserve Bank’s money printing having a detrimental impact.
The Government has a work programme that is turning out to be highly contentious. Substantial reforms in water, health and education are not being rolled out as effectively as the Government would have hoped.
The social and economic dislocation caused by the pandemic and the lockdowns has made law and order a further issue.
Sheppard writes that the “rumours of Ardern stepping down soon are now frequently being put to journalists”. It would not be a bad time to go, he thinks: her personal popularity is still “relatively impressive”, while if she sticks around, “she will be seeking re-election with all of the economic and social fallout from Covid peaking or about to peak, and were she to win, she would have to spend a third term managing difficult coalition partners”.
Sadly, her potential political demise is not because the population has woken up to the horrors of her disastrous Zero Covid policy. Perhaps, though, Sheppard suggests, her presence is a reminder of dark times people would rather forget: “People were grateful for Ardern’s leadership during Covid. But no one wants to think about or be reminded of Covid anymore.”
Could it really be nearing the end for the toothy tyrant?

It’s intriguing what might be happening behind the scenes in all these supposedly failing governments (the five eyes countries, funnily enough) each with their respective ‘cost of living crisis’ brought about by the ‘Covid crisis’. Are the WEF stooges nominally leading them being thrown under a bus, or are the stooges carrying out their orders, knowing that their own political careers will be sacrificed? They must all have known that they were bankrupting their countries with their lunatic covid capers, or are they all so stupid as to believe they would come out as national heroes? Who are these people?
And may we live to see them clapped in irons declaring “I’m just a patsy.”
If I were so inclined to think this way, I would say that their work is done. They can now be freed from daily responsibility to tour the globe giving speeches for $500k a time.
Excellent questions to ask.
My wife, a Kiwi, says she will not go back till that ***ch is gone.
And another mass murderer gets to walks away free and on to the next money making opportunity. The WEF perhaps, or the UN , possibly the Gates foundation. What is the point of being a decent human being when these people show by example that cruelty, greed, and misanthropy pay much better.
When oh when is justice going to come?
Incredible isn’t it that such a cackling evil witch with a ‘communications degree’ and her corrupt coterie of globalists can usurp everything from natural law rights (god-given), to secular rights, constitutional rights and the Nuremberg codes (another useless piece of paper, which was tossed into the wood stove).
And barely 20% of NZ’s pop opposed her. For an IFR of 0.03%, which apparently is not ‘rare’ unlike the dead and injured from the stabbinations (all very ‘rare’ and of little concern), most of NZ like everywhere, complied, diapered, shot up the poisoned juice, ask no questions and with bulging eyes partook in the new cult.
Justice will come from the LORD.
“It’s not the number of votes that counts, it’s who’s counting the votes”
Funny how elections in the US in key senate races now drag on for days with the winner declared shortly after the Democrat overtakes the Republican after overhauling a big polling day lead.
Indeed. After whining fr 5 years about the 2016 result, you might imagine with any political party who was serious about voter fraud to come straight in with investment in a system that is undeniably true and correct. But alas, it appears that this isn’t in the Democrats plans, because they would have to think of more creative ways to cheat. 25% of the US Voters believe the vote is rigged, but they are the ones ‘questioning democracy’, aren’t they..?
Hey, Republicans cheat too! Probably even more so. That’s how come in 2016 the USA, after imposing the same on so many other countries via the CIA for decades, we finally got our very own corporate sponsored dictator made in the USA, from Russia, with love.
Would you cheer if ” Sloth” Fetterman was announced as a pilot on your next flight?
The next step will be when she, or any other NZ politician for that matter, develops osterism and starts talking of an “amnesty”.
Indeed, it’s only a matter of time. A request for “amnesty” is basically a tacit offer of conditional surrender. That is of course a sign of knowing and tacitly admitting that one is on the wrong side of history.
But we know if THEIR side had somehow won instead, they would be giving us NO AMNESTY and NO QUARTER, and demanding unconditional surrender from us.
They clearly didn’t lock down hard or fast enough otherwise the wouldn’t be having all these problems.
Too right. If the population isn’t completely broken, demoralised and utterly subservient like the Chinese, and there remains a faint glow of life in them that they still dare ask some questions about her suitability, then she hasn’t really given it her all.
Uncle Klaus will not be happy.
“Zis is not how ve bild zer public-private partnership!”
Were the indigenous NZers, whom she apparently prioritizes, given a soft ride during the COVID madness? I seem to recall that travel to their regions was forbidden but does the witch’s apparent popularity extend to the First Nation?
Clearly the aliens have always been among us just waiting for the beep to unleash their tyranny (Schwarzenegger/P.Morgan/E.Curry/E.Rantzen/A.Neil/Trudeau/former friends and acquaintances, others too numerous to mention…) and are never again to be trusted.
I hope she never has a moment’s peace of mind ever again. Maybe she needs a spell in the jungle but she would no doubt wheedle the crocs onto her side; she seems to have managed it with most of the kiwis.
Arden is in contention for the next UN General Secretary and I doubt if she could both jobs at the same time. It just would not look right, sorry woke.
Yawn… who cares.
As if the problem is Arden.
Arden is obviously a pathological busybody who gets off on telling others how to live their lives.
But she’ll just be replaced by another politician, with authoritarian tendencies, just like her operating at the behest of the powers that run the world.
I don’t know how the global tendency towards collectivist authoritarianism is reversed, but I’m pretty sure the solution isn’t going to come from a general election in New Zealand.
Salvation will not arrive via the ballot box, as I like to keep mentioning on here.
People who disapprove of your lack of faith in the ballot box just don’t get it.
My guess is that they simply can’t see that the system is so completely rigged that it is a dead end to bringing about any meaningful change.
After a lifetime of believing we live in a free, democratic society, it’s very hard to accept we don’t. It’s probably like losing one’s faith in god; a long, painful process full of anguish, disappointment and above all fear.
Thanks Stewart.
Anytime. If you’re looking to paint a grim picture of complete desperation, I’m your man.
“If you’re looking to paint a grim picture of complete desperation I’m your man.”
Blimey. I tended to think you had a slightly brighter outlook than me Stewart.
‘Must try harder.’
Trump and Brexit happened because the corrupt voting stations didn’t see it coming and the postal ballots were never printed.
Brexit happened because they asked the wrong question.
Trump happened because the Democrats underestimated his popularity – they hadn’t rigged enough votes.
Meet the new WEF puppet, same as the old WEF puppet.
It won’t be reveresed. There will be a global government and a global monetary system and a global religion – the leader of which you will have to worship and take his mark if you want to buy or sell anything (Revelation – the Bible). God tells the end from the beginning. He will destroy that one world leader.
Long live the fallen idols
All moths into the flame
You’re chasing your own shadows
Are you not entertained?
— Five Finger Death Punch
Why anyone would downvote a Five Finger Death Punch quote is beyond me!
In any case, horseface is indeed a fallen idol. To paraphrase another 5FDP song, it’s stranger than fiction, how she’s decayed….
I am always pleased to see poetry quoted here.
Without wishing to sound snobbish I find poetry enormously civilising.
True, but her replacement may very well be, “Meet the new WEF puppet, same as the old WEF puppet”.

On a personal note I hope to God this is true..I find this woman utterly frightening, a bit like a female Hitler, but on steroids…..seriously…I would be happy to see the back of her….
“I would be happy to see the back of her….”
Now now ebg.
She was really enjoying her pride before the fall too….
Still, it was nice that Shergars teeth were put to good use.
🤣 🤣 🤣
Her foolish policies are finally being shown for what they are.
Unfortunately she will just be off to a well-paid position at the UN or WEF.
