After three consecutive defeats when contesting Waikato once, and Auckland Central twice for Labour, justifiably highlights the historical rejection of Ardern, the only way she could become an elected MP was to be gifted the safe seat of Mt Albert. She became Labour leader by default when Andrew Little was falling off the cliff just a few months out from an election. She then became PM regardless of a defeated Labour Party through the grace of New Zealand First.
Yet again all her advancements were given by others, never earned. From this point forward the greatest con started to unfold. There was never a country to run or manage. The economy was beyond her simple mind and as luck would have it, for her, several major diversions shielded many from her ignorance.
Self promoting posturing became her default setting. Cliché ridden dialogue became her verbal go to. Exposure, a tantalising magnet of perceived leadership. It was all a con, yet so many were victims of the scam as the 2020 elections testified. When the three major diversions evaporated and our focus returned to the chaos left in her wake, she did a runner.
The country is a basket case, abandoned by our great leader. The creator of the mess ran for cover through the swamp that was once a glorious country. A mess others inherited far too late. A mess that will be her legacy in spite of the smokescreens endowed upon her by ideological morons. Ardern, Dame Grand Companion indeed. Her CV has yet another phoney status to add to the many. She was elected president of the International Union of Socialist Youth in 2008, fast forward fifteen years this socialist republican is now a Dame Grand Companion. If ever one needed evidence that it doesn’t matter what colour or ideology the stage, all that matters to her is that she is on it.
