‘Empathy is a kind of strength’: Jacinda Ardern on kind leadership, public rage and life in Trump’s America
Young, progressive and relatable, the former prime minister of New Zealand tried to do politics differently. But six years into power, she dramatically resigned. In an exclusive interview with the Guardian’s editor-in-chief, she explains why

Lesson: don’t trust Labour?
Huh? Isn’t this happening under the current govt? The one you’ve labeled as far right?

It's a shame the reviewer sounds like and behaves like you frank
At least you read past the headline this time. I'd consider that a win
Good to see Stuff republish it as well, they’ve started to slowly put a bit more balance into their material lately. Good opinion piece, I think encapsulates the thoughts of many (I hesitate to say the majority, however quite possibly) New Zealanders that had to endure her ‘leadership’.
Balance meaning publishing right wing drivel
Your perspective on where centre sits is all wrong, but other than suggesting you look at the polls (and the last election) I’m not going to waste any more time trying to explain this to you.
Pretty surprised they did that TBH.

Going to be a really close election next one I think. The opposition coalition has the numbers to govern again after the previous poll had the current government having the numbers to stay in government. Been a bit like that in previous polls before that going back and forth between them
MaybeTop8 going full Trump?
I wonder if, for a lot of voters, if it will come down to whether they want the influence of ACT at one end or the Māori Party at the other end of a coalition government. Preferably, I'd prefer neither!!!The Post

Attack the person instead of trying to defend the most divisive and ineffective PM NZ has ever had?
Don’t blame you for choosing that route
PS - I rank Helen Clarke amongst our top PM’s so this isn’t anti Labour!
A Seymour half term as deputy pm could make it or break it?
They understand the need to be more commercial to increase their chances of survival. Part of that is to be more balanced with their political affiliation. They’ve been trying for a while to move more towards the centre but have found it difficult to attract the right talent.
It will nothing if not entertaining
. In someways, I'd love a coalition of Labour, Greens and the māori Party.... just so we could compare Blue Chris trying to deal with Seymour to Red Chris dealing with Packer and Waititi.Similar threads
