Jacinda Ardern: Progressive Princess

Here's an interesting conversation about New Zealand's former prime minister, Jacinda Ardern. Even these people are a little off base when it comes to Ardern; she seems to have been selected and promoted into a position of power, having never won an election.

To begin with she got into parliament off the Labour list. Then, later she stood for the Auckland Central electorate and came second. Notwithstanding that, she again got into parliament off the Labour party list. She stood again in Auckland Central but came second again. Then, when David Shearer resigned there was a by-election held in the safe Labour seat of Mount Albert (Auckland) and she finally won a seat. You could put up a wombat as the candidate for Labour in that seat and it'd be elected. 

She was then elevated into the position of Leader of the Opposition in very murky circumstances, and in the General Election of 2017, she came second. 

How did she become prime minister? Well, she managed to obtain a coalition agreement with NZFirst, but this wasn't enough as the winner on election night still had more seats. Thus, she became PM off the support of the Greens, who were not placed in cabinet office and were never in government. Since then, the Greens repeatedly lie about this and claim time and time again that they were in government. No, they weren't, they were just assigned ministerial positions outside of cabinet in exchange for their support on confidence and supply (money).

So, the government from 2017 until 2020 was a minority minority government. Note I said minority twice. Never before had a government been formed in New Zealand where the combined total of government seats in parliament, been less than the total number of opposition seats. 

Jacinda Ardern, came second all the time, was never liked, but nevertheless mysterious forces placed her at the top. Then, in 2020 she set about destroying modern post-war New Zealand, a goal she very nearly achieved. I think she was employed to do this. That's right, and I've come to the conclusion the election in 2020 was rigged. In that election we are meant to believe that every provincial electorate in the country party voted Labour, more than any other single party, but in every case these same electorates preferred their National party candidate or sitting MP (in NZ you get two votes, a party vote and the other vote for the candidate in your electorate). When you tell people this, they frown and look confused. People are wilfully blind to the obvious.

And then, having failed to take NZ down, she fled and has left the country. You cannot make this up, if it was a work of fiction, people would think it too far-fetched.
