New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern announces September 19 electionNew Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern calls an election for September 19, it is one that will test her popularity heavily due to the country facing economic issues. I guess that ends any hope of further bi-partisanship until then. She promised us the world and delivered none of her promises, sooner she’s gone the better. If she loses perhaps she can denounce her NZ citizenship and run in Australia.

And the left will wonder why they keep on getting rejected at the ballot box Like the Greens in Australia.
