New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who became infamous for her strong support of draconian lockdown policies, has announced her resignation. Ardern, 42, announced during a tearful press conference that she will resign on February 7th. Due to lack of support, it is likely that the Labor Party will be forced to form a coalition government with the Green Party and the indigenous  Maori Party following the next electiom. Meanwhile, a conservative bloc of New Zealand's center-right National Party received 11% support leading to speculation that the two could potentially form a coalition government of their own.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           The labor party will be holding a caucus vote over the weekend to pick a replacement for Ardern, while New Zealand's elections are scheduled to take place on October 14th. Ardern received significant backlash from people around the world over her destruction of individual liberties during the pandemic, as well as her demands for censorship. She even bragged about creating a two-tiered society in New Zealand, where individuals who had been vaccinated were granted more rights. The outgoing prime minister also received backlash within New Zealand for her actions, with citizens staging a Canada-style 'freedom convoy' in 2022, where they blocked off central Wellington near the parliament building in response to mandates and restrictions imposed by the government. Many believe she should be in jail for crimes against the human rights of her people.
