The rising cost of living dominated campaigning with voters New Zealanders ending six years of Labour Party rule, the latter half of which was dominated by the country’s strict response to the coronavirus pandemic that successfully kept infections low but battered the economy.
With more than 98% of votes counted, the center-right National Party, led by former airline executive Christopher Luxon, had amassed around 40% of ballots, according to New Zealand’s Electoral Commission. A dejected Hipkins told supporters that Labour did not have enough votes to form a government.
“The result tonight is not one that any of us wanted,” he said, according to RNZ. “I gave it my all to turn the tide of history but alas, it was not enough.” Luxon said New Zealanders had “voted for change” and that his party would now get to work trying to form a coalition.“Tonight you have given us the mandate to take New Zealand forward,” he told supporters. Coalitions are the norm under New Zealand’s mixed-member proportional system, which was introduced in 1996.
The nationalist NZ First party and its leader Winston Peters could potentially become kingmaker in a coalition administration alongside the libertarian, right-wing Act Party. The only party to win a majority of votes and govern alone in the current political system was Labour in 2020, when Ardern won a landslide second term buoyed by her success at handling the country’s coronavirus outbreak. But Ardern announced her shock resignation in January, saying she no longer had enough fuel in the tank to contest an election, and passed the reins of her party on to Hipkins.

Lol, was thinking this
Yea, and the bs in this article. She was so popular for her excellent handling of the scamdemic that she won in a landslide, but Adern suddenly resigns because she ran out of energy to fight a contested election, and now the tide has suddenly turned and now nobody likes how the scamdemic was handled. OOOOKAAAY.
As their levers of power are taken away, they will furiously pull the levers that remain.
To me it looks like that Executive Order Trump signed to confiscate the assets of anyone involved in child sexual trafficking might have bankrupted their coffers and so they need to keep doing these money laundering scams to continue funding their moves. This would explain how Covid morphed into Ukraine morphed into Hamas. As soon as one funding stream dried up, a new one started immediately. It’s as if they’re just barely outrunning their own bankruptcy.
while they have been trying to bankrupt Trump, he has already bankrupted them.
OMG It really is spelled AshneNAZI I thought you were making that part up!
WOW!! Says it right there in their name! They don't hide anything!
I’m guesssing you did NAZI thst reference before? Yes. AshkeNAZI. It’s right there.
The cabal/transnational parasites want WW3 to try & stop Trump getting elected. The covid 2.0 failed last month. They're desperate to stop people waking up to the globohomo agenda.
