You might remember in the aftermath of the ridiculous COVID restrictions when New Zealand Prime Minister Jacina Ardern announced her resignation, the media downplayed the most likely reason, she -and her leftist labor party- was going to get crushed in the next election.   Well, exactly that just happened.

Ardern and the Labor party previously won more than 50% of the New Zealand vote, today that result was 27%.  Jacinda Ardern, a favorite of the World Economic Forum and leftists in the globalist movement, led her party to lose half of their Kiwi support.  The conservative party in New Zealand led by Christoper Luxon have won the election.

(Via UPI) New Zealand’s conservative National Party soundly defeated the ruling Labor Party in elections held Saturday, paving the way for Christopher Luxon to replace Chris Hipkins as prime minister.

Hipkins conceded defeat after results came in showing the National Party scoring historic gains even across some of the most reliable of Labor districts in the country.

With 99% of the vote counted, the National Party had garnered 39% of the vote, while Labor managed only 27% after getting 50% in the previous election. The Green Party, meanwhile, nabbed 11% and the small-government, libertarian ACT Party collected 9%.

The National Party will forge a governing coalition with the ACT Party, which between them total 61 seats, the barest possible margin to govern in New Zealand. (read more)

Ardern unexpectedly stepped down as prime minister in January, saying she no longer had “enough in the tank” to do the job justice.
