Queen of woke leaves a trail of chaos in her wake
Jacinda Ardern was a dreadful prime minister of New Zealand.
Her economic and strategic instincts were bad – but for a time she was very successful politically.
I would say wherever she goes, she leaves a trail of destruction and bitterness and sad dirtiness.
Australian columnist Greg Sheridan criticises Jacinda Ardern as 'shabby, fraudulent'
"Ardern has done three positive things. She has just about eradicated Covid-19. She has navigated the politics of the virus so well she stands on the brink of electoral triumph. And she responded with moral clarity and decency to the Christchurch massacre. "However, she has still been a poor Prime Minister, elected almost by accident under the Byzantine protocols of her country's eccentric electoral system, though she won far fewer votes than the National government she replaced," Greg Sheridan, of The Australian wrote. "No international halo is so shabby, or so fraudulent, as that worn by New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern. Politically she resembles Dan Andrews. They excel in woke gesture and progressive symbolism. Their achievements in real policy terms are thin or negative. "It goes without saying that her achievements should never be diminished because of her gender or age; she was only 37 when she became Prime Minister. But undoubtedly part of the international Jacindamania comes from the fact she is a young left-wing woman who gave birth in office and took maternity leave. That is all wonderful but it has no bearing on policy achievement.
