New Zealand, a country that has labored under left-wing government for the past six years, has apparently switched direction by electing a new right-leaning government in their general election, which took place on Saturday. Preliminary results show that the National Party (center-left) has garnered approximately 39 percent of the vote, with the Labour Party, which had been in charge, tallying only 27 percent.
The country’s new prime minister will be former businessman Christopher Luxon. Luxon’s National Party is expected to form a coalition government with the ACT New Zealand Party, which garnered 9 percent of the vote.
Official results are expected on November 3.

“Conservative” in NZ or Australia is on par with a RINO squish.
There are no conservatives in NZ. They left. It’s all left-wingers now. Some are slightly less insane. The descent into totalitarianism and the inevitable starvation will continue.
