Bye Jacinda, Missing You Already

Politicians you actually warm to are very unusual, the amount of current politicians i can honestly say i like can be counted on the little finger of one hand and now that they have now said that they are quitting, with New Zealand's Jacinda Ardern goes the only World Leader i wouldn't strap to a rocket and fire into
the Sun.
She was honest enough to hold up her hands and say she was stepping down as she 'no longer had enough in the tank to do the job', something we can only wish plenty of other leaders were decent enough to do rather than drag themselves on but as it is unlikely she will turn up on our shores to sort out the British debacle which is the Conservative Party, we can heap praise on her for her efforts over the last five years.
Her Covid response of 'going hard and early' received praise from all around the world and saw numbers of cases and deaths at one of the lowest rates in the World until the measures were lifted in August 2021
She banned offshore oil and gas exploration and took part in LGBTQ parades but it was the response to the horrific Christchurch terror attack which saw 51 people killed by a White Supremacist.
Adhern met with victims’ families, promised to never say the name of the shooter as not to give him the notoriety he craved and immediately changed the country’s gun laws, taking 62,000 firearms out of circulation.
She showed that a great leader can be empathetic, kind and considerate and looking around at the rest of them she leaves behind, those are qualities sorely missing.
