Burnout!

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced Thursday that she will step down, saying she no longer had “enough in the tank” after a premiership defined by her response to a series of crises.
Ardern, 42, has become a global progressive icon since her election in 2017 and won praise for her handling of the nation’s worst mass shooting and the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. But her approval ratings have plummeted at home, jeopardizing her re-election prospects and intensifying the vitriolic abuse she has experienced throughout her time in office.
“With such a privileged role comes responsibility — the responsibility to know when you are the right person to lead, and also when you are not,” Ardern said in a surprise announcement in Napier, where her governing center-left Labour Party is holding a caucus retreat. “I know what this job takes, and I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice.”
She said she would resign as prime minister no later than Feb. 7 and would not seek re-election to Parliament later this year.
“This has been the most fulfilling 5½ years of my life, but it has also had its challenges,” Ardern told reporters. “Among an agenda focused on housing, child poverty and climate change, we encountered a major biosecurity incursion, a domestic terror event, a major natural disaster, a global pandemic and an economic crisis.
“The decisions that have had to be made have been continual, and they have been weighty,” she said.

And good riddance.
Horrible excuse of a leader. Stepped on as many people as she could and lived in a party bubble like a typical libtard Karen
Fascist running dog....
That boyfriend of ole Horseface Jacinda better run because she will focus all her tyrant qualities on him now.
Good riddance garbage
Ardern was burnt out from being woke. She left her church so she could support the Gay Rights Movement. She spent so much energy on political correctness that she had little left for governance of a free people, and she in fact enslaved them.
Good riddance to a fool and a psychopomp.

Wiki entry:
Personal Life;
Religious views
Raised as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New Zealand, Ardern left the church in 2005 at age 25 because, she said, it conflicted with her personal views, in particular her support for gay rights.[307][308] In January 2017, Ardern identified as agnostic, saying “I can’t see myself being a member of an organised religion again”.[307] As prime minister in 2019 she met the president of LDS Church, Russell M. Nelson.[309]
Family

Ardern is a second cousin of Hamish McDouall, the mayor of Whanganui.[310] She is also a distant cousin of former National MP for Taranaki-King Country Shane Ardern.[311] Shane Ardern left Parliament in 2014, three years before Jacinda Ardern became prime minister.[312]
Ardern’s partner is television presenter Clarke Gayford.[313][314] The couple first met in 2012 when they were introduced by mutual friend Colin Mathura-Jeffree, a New Zealand television host and model,[315] but they did not spend time together until Gayford contacted Ardern regarding a controversial Government Communications Security Bureau bill.[313] On 3 May 2019, it was reported that Ardern was engaged to be married to Gayford.[316][317] The wedding was scheduled for January 2022 but has been delayed due to an outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.[318][319]
On 19 January 2018, Ardern announced that she was expecting her first child in June, making her New Zealand’s first prime minister to be pregnant in office.[320] Ardern was admitted to Auckland City Hospital on 21 June 2018,[321] and gave birth to a girl the same day,[322][323] becoming only the second elected head of government to give birth while in office (after Benazir Bhutto in 1990).[11][323] Her daughter’s given names are Neve Te Aroha.[324] Neve is an anglicised form of the Irish name Niamh, meaning ‘bright’; Aroha is Māori for ‘love’, and Te Aroha is a rural town west of the Kaimai Range, near Ardern’s former home town of Morrinsville.[325]
RESIGNED SUDDENLY
Cramps…
A summary of Ardern’s tyrannical rule:
Ardern’s extreme COVID-19 dictates and fiats to include isolation, quarantine camps, severe regimented social lockdowns, forced and mandatory vaccinations and subsequent passports etc, made her the visible face of government COVID-19 extremes. Keeping with her apt description as a smiley-faced fascist, she did not care about the backlash from her totalitarian dictates and fiats. The government owned the media, and the concerns of Kiwi’s about the government extremes were dispatched without regard.
She was ricin’ dirty and is getting out of town before it comes out, IMO
Burnout!
That’s hysterical!! Actually, I thought she might be suffering from some illness caused by the clot shot.
:)
She’s honestly not a good leader in my opinion, but the affairs of NZ are not high on my list of concerns.
Now, those dirtbags in Davos…
Good to see that the horse faced witch is leaving.
I wonder which global entity she will wind up at.
She was going to get crushed in October’s election, so she bailed. That way she stays a globalist media darling.
In NZ, they are singing “Ding Dong, the wicked witch is dead” for now though.
Best news I have heard in a long time!!!!!
WEF
Usually means that she committed some serious crime that would be hard to cover-up as a public figure in office.
The crew at the Black morning show at CBS Mornings said she was hailed as a savior by all citing her ban of “assault” weapons and forcing people to snitch on neighbors.
Jacinda, We Hardly Knew Ye!
