You might remember in the aftermath of the ridiculous COVID restriction, when New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced her resignation, the media downplayed the most likely reason, she -and her leftist Labor Party- was going to get crushed in the next election. Well, exactly that just happened.
Ardern and the Labor Party previously won more than 50% of the New Zealand vote, today that result was 27%. Jacinda Ardern, a favorite of the World Economic Forum and leftists in the globalist movement, led her party to lose half of their Kiwi support. The Conservative Party in New Zealand, led by Christoper Luxon, have won the election.
(Via UPI) New Zealand’s conservative National Party soundly defeated the ruling Labor Party in elections held Saturday, paving the way for Christopher Luxon to replace Chris Hipkins as prime minister.
Hipkins conceded defeat after results came in showing the National Party scoring historic gains even across some of the most reliable of Labor districts in the country.
With 99% of the vote counted, the National Party had garnered 39% of the vote, while Labor managed only 27% after getting 50% in the previous election. The Green Party, meanwhile, nabbed 11% and the small-government, libertarian ACT Party collected 9%.
The National Party will forge a governing coalition with the ACT Party, which between them total 61 seats, the barest possible margin to govern in New Zealand. (read more)
Ardern unexpectedly stepped down as prime minister in January, saying she no longer had “enough in the tank” to do the job justice.
Next, pass laws to prevent the COVID overreach from ever happening again. Conservatives will not hold power forever, so strike while the iron is hot, restrict your government from repeating this mistake.
What you don’t realize is that Luxon supported the lockdowns and the “overreach”. In fact all of the politicians did across the political spectrum. The difference was nuanced. Luxon believe that the lockdowns should have ended sooner. The aftermath of the lockdowns, high inflation and raising interest rates, rising cost of living across the board was the primary economic issue. Since 90% of Kiwis took the vaccine, Covid-19 was not the main issue.
Labour and the leftist Green Party, choose to run their campaign on RACE. They ran on all the foibles that plague American politics and ran a negative campaign labeling anyone that disagreed with them a “racist” and also floated a “wealth” tax. This led to a very contentious campaign. New Zealand has a very different history than America and race is not a contentious issue other than the media making it as such. The voters rejected this and they rejected the media’s attempt to divert attention from real bread and butter issues. This is why Labour lost.
The votes was more a rejection of Ardern and the current Labour Party PM, Chris Hipkins, policies of race and the culture wars then is was a vote the National Party (NZ conservatives).
Hopefully he learned something from that fiasco. The lockdowns didn’t help a thing and in fact were very destructive.
We even did exactly that in Bakersfield CA. “Following injusticed in the form of overreaching government imposed mandates” the city will not enforce any Covid 19 related mandate or impose penalties where it has jurisdiction, including future requirements for masks, dining restrictions, or vaccines. It’s your medical choice the services you receive.
Better late (3 plus years) than never
And pass laws to prevent the Democrats spending half a trillion dollars in just 20 days. How is that even possible?
Letters from a Quarantined Cell
Four walls, a door, I’m locked inside,
A prison cell, where rights have died.
They say it’s for the public’s health,
But what about my mental wealth?
Fourteen days, a sentence long,
For what they claim I did so wrong.
But here’s the thing, I disagree,
This isn’t law, it’s tyranny.
Who checks the checkers, who’s to say,
That they won’t lead us all astray?
No oversight, they hold the keys,
And yet they do just as they please.
I took no oath, I signed no form,
To be confined and to conform.
My freedom’s gone, without a trial,
And all they offer is denial.
I pace the floor, I count the tiles,
I think of all their twisted wiles.
They say it’s just, they say it’s fair,
But what about my right to air?
I pen these lines, a silent plea,
For someone out there to hear me.
I’m not a number, not a case,
I’m a human in a lonely place.
Don’t comply = game over.
The western world is being ruled by tyrants wirh few exceptions.
I wrote it based upon New Zealand policy. But January 6th captives could be applicable too.
For sure. Thank you. It’s touching, to say the least.
Thank you for writing this. It’s exactly what happened down under. Then, J6, and then…..
I can’t remember a post here that has made me cry more!
Wow.
I never intended my words to create hardship. Only to express the likely environment of that time.
God Bless you.
Not taking anything away from the ruggedness of Kiwi’s and Australians but a surprising number are ok with government having enormous control over their lives, even ok with gun bans to a large degree.

New Zealand’s experiment in gun confiscation fails to reduce crime – Bearing Arms
September 1, 2022
John Galt
It’s been three years since New Zealand’s sweeping ban on semi-automatic firearms took effect, with a six-month long “buyback” that resulted in about 56,000 guns being turned over to police in a compensated confiscation scheme that officials promised would make the country a much safer place. That’s plenty of time for the ban to have had an impact on the country’s crime rates, but so far there’s not much evidence that the disarmament effort has made a difference.
In fact, according to the country’s latest crime statistics, things seem to be getting w
orse.
Read the full article at link above…………
Are most of the violent crimes committed by the indigenous people?
Indigenous people? I don’t think they got much of a say but like the Moa it didn’t work out to well for the Moriori
A large proportion are.
Okay. I figured that.
Law abiding people with weapons/guns are not the problem.
Criminals don’t care about the law, and once the law abiding populace has been disarmed and cannot defend themselves, criminals are the ones with the power to rob, steal, and hurt others. (I purposefully did not include government because they are criminals themselves, otherwise they would not rob law abiding, decent and honest people of the ability to defend themselves and their property).
Visited a few cities for a few days while on a cruise years ago. Seemed to me the Soviets ruled. One fellow I knew and visited for a day regularly read the NYT and Economist for his news. Foolish on every issue, of course. But a useful idiot I am sure.
Was the increase in crime before or after those criminal gun runners left $80 billion in weaponry in Afghanistan?
KiwiSkeletor will do fine with a book deal, speaking tours & fetching coffee for Klause!
She’s done her job with the premature deaths & permanent maiming from the forced jabs on the populous.
Yes, they all have a part to play no matter how long or short. The purpose of her stint was to move the marker farther down the road never to go back from where it came.
Green Party Women are the absolute worst dictators. Talk about kindergarten hall monitors! The ones in the EU are just as bad. They are pure leftists and use environmental hoaxes to take control.
She missed her calling. She would have been a great cadre member of Pol Pot’s re-education camps.
Or, Hilary’s.
When Conservative Party leaders
were asked how they won, they said:
‘We ran a good campaign, plus…
It’s hard to lose when Luxon your side.’ 🙂
Quite bright!
My peeps in Christchurch called that one “Stalinda”. They had no liking of her.
Ardern was heard to say “you can’t fire me, I QUIT!”. Same ole, same ole, from leftist tyrants.
If this guy doesn’t pass law to assure the last 3 years never happen again, today change nothing.
Conservative/ACT coalition:
While the ACT party website claims they “attract good people with a love of freedom, with liberal values and who want to work hard to make N.Z. a better place” their campaign promises would be labelled Conservative in the USA and Canada and certainly not liberal.
————————————–
ACT will:
Enforce consequences for criminalsSlash wasteful government spendingEnd divisive race-based policiesLower taxes and sensible spendingremove politics and bureaucracy from schools
https://www.act.org.nz/
The same thing should be happening to Gretchen Whitmer.
In addition to Whitmer, that sow in Canada who was behind the banking freeze during the Truckers protest
Christa Freeland the n a z i and J. Castro jr.
The problem in Michigan is a huge leftists contingent of illegals who happily share and assist in the vote fraud. I imagine the majority of people who actually LIVE there are conservative in politic. They need to get a little more active in attempt to stop the fraud. Every single person can cause a little truth. But they must get off their sofa. NOW.
Take this as more good news. The Machine functions on its own time-table. We’re free-thinking independent particles of it with a deep conscience which drive us to seek some actions which are actually taking place through all the other particles around us.
We just go about our business cheerfully and happily as wily as serpents and when the Machine starts changing you’ll recognize it.
We’re in a Culture War, and as we continue to win the battles on the ground thereby changing the character of the Machine our vote will reflect this. The voting outcome is a reflection not a determining element. Fortunately we have a much more crucial form of expression than our votes, THAT’S HOW WE CONDUCT OURSELVES. That’s how the democrats did it (in a negative way), it doesn’t happen overnight.
The conditioning effect of society at large is a force we’re not familiar with, we’re the impulse of that force – the ripple effect of a good person is awesome.
So “Bloom where you are and pull out the weeds.”
Sorry my friend. Your intent is good, and your meaning slowly oozed through, but your writing is crap. 5 edits before posting is suggested.
The Uniparty prevailed again.
The NZ version of MAGA is a new party – New Zealand Loyal. https://nzloyal.org.nz/
Good, and good riddance to that WEF (unmentionable) (redacted) (redacted).
With a reported 4.1 million new zealanders mRNA vaccinated out of 5.2 million population (78%) I hold little hope conservatives party would make that part of the puzzle better.
Also my personal belief is I do not think *mRNA Gene Therapy based* Vaccination is a partisan issue. There’s plenty of loons on both sides of the red / blue aisle. Just because people are “conservative” does not mean they do not have a secret desire to want to force vaccinate sheeple with a shot that will only conclude its clinical trial in December **2023** and has been tested on 8 mice so far.
E.g Ontario, Canada. Doug Ford. Conservative government, yet lockdowns, mass vaccinations, firing of people who do not comply to the mandate. As a “conservative”.
But New Zealand’s Ardern was pretty bad all around (read: a major tyrannical lady dog) from what I saw of her.
For anyone who is keeping count, another election not stolen by leftists. Is NZ not important enough to “install” leadership? I recall someone saying “there are trillions at stake.” 🙂 Maybe NZ only represents thousands at stake. Just spitballing here; if you can’t steal them all (yet), how to decide when to mobilize the machine?
Not exactly a rousing victory. But better than nothing.
If the new government shared “previously classified” documents, the result could be magnitudes greater than the tiny little kingdom physically offers. I’ll bet COVID garbage/lies, Russian collusion garbage/lies, anti-Trump garbage/lies is there ripe for the picking. Publish it all…. like the TWITTER files that slowly oozed out….and let the rocks flow down.
Satan’s sister is shamed.
I’m not surprised Arden has no energy. The woman looks anorexic
Looks like she is due for an extended stay out in the paddocks. *whinny*
Just how “conservative” is the New Zealand Conservative Party? UK conservatives are well to the left of the US Democrats
The political center is way to the left of the US so anything to the right of it is called conservative. They had a prime minister called Muldooon back in the ’70s who was down right keynesian by his own admission who was regarded as conservative by the local electorate. I did what a lot of NZers did back then and ended up at Bondi Beach in Australia. Scary stuff!
I just read that only 2% of our population gas gotten the jab. Phizer is reorganizing their finances due to the glut of product they have.
So 😞 sorry, hahaha
I just read Biden is giving pharma $500 million on top of a Billion plus from HHS ….to develop new COVID vaccines and therapeutics. Don’t worry they won’t let ANY of them go out of business. Too many secrets to hide.
After the close of the market on Friday , pfe slashed it EPS for 2024, from $3.30 per share to 1.50 – 1.70. Blaming a 10 billion $ shortfall on vaccine reluctance. TSK, TSK ,if they could really be punished they would hang for their covid lies.
Pray and help others
What the heck is wrong with people?!! Don’t they know these vaccines are 100% safe and effective?*
*“Safe and effective” is a registered trademark of Big Pharma, Inc. It should not be confused with the English words “safe” and “effective.” COVID vaccines are a generation or two behind the current variant and are not shown to prevent infection or transmission of COVID. Repeated boosters have been shown to cause abnormal immune system responses which may lead to an increased risk of autoimmune disease and cancer. mRNA vaccines have been linked with serious adverse reactions including sudden cardiac death. The symptoms of COVID are the same as the common cold. Ask your doctor if Big Pharma COVID vaccines are right for you.
You are absolutely correct!
Ardern thoroughly enjoyed her fifteen minutes of totalitarian rule.
A serious audit of her finances during her reign of terror would probably be useful. These bolsheviks usually walk away from their posts much wealthier than when they began. One ought to ask HOW ?
….in the USA it’s called ‘lobbyists’ by congress critters…
The rest of us call it ‘bribes’….or influence peddling….
Ardern was one ugly evil bi j otch and friend with Killary.
Just a couple of things:
Labour and Jabcinda did NOT previously win with over 50% of the vote. Under the MMP system they actually “Acquired” the necessary majority due to the “reallocation” of seats that did not get used because of the rules under MMP governing the party votes that went to parties garnering under 5% of the national vote. And that was the second election the first election she showed her true colours by cobbling tob gether a deal with every minor party under the sun to form a government against the majority of the votes so NAH while Labour did get the largest single party vote in 20 they didn’t have the majority needed to govern without coalition apart from under MMP so err yeah details matter
Point two: Its not a real change on most major policy the difference between “Labour” and the new masters “National” you can not fit a cigarette paper . Luxon is part of the globalist cabal, perfectly aligned with UN, WHO, WEF.
Met the new master same as the old, different suits and ties same message. Luxon fully signed up for all the scamdemic lock stock and barrel, nothing going to change there or the forthcoming WHO directives.
As the smallest nation in 5 eyes we get to be the testing ground for all the very best of ideas.
I can only hope and pray that my Kiwi brothers and sisters (who I always assumed to be dependably level-headed) never make such a disastrous mistake again! Following a Pied Piper of such “Woke” feel-good tripe was nearly a complete disaster for one of my favorite members of the Anglo-sphere, Welcome back to the world of logic and common sense. I can say that because we in the U.S.. are in the process of digging ourselves out of a similar quagmire.
Best I can tell the aussies have gone full blown stupid.
..just like the brits..
…ok…maybe the brits are a tad worse…
Same difference.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Brits are worse.
They are part of the Brit commonwealth.
Like Canada and US have similar culture, so too Aussie and NZ.
NZers are not and never were level headed except in their own heads.
Meh. That’s called “buyer’s remorse,” nothing more. Unlike our system which was hijacked by the media and political establishment, New Zealand and Australia got exactly what they voted for. They can’t even prosecute Ardern because everything she did was legal under their system.
I remember hearing stories from their UFC fighters about having to train at night in the dark so the cops wouldn’t bust their training sessions. Wild stuff.
The longer this goes, the better Trump looks compared to all other leaders (including Sweden).
Even Ardern realizes what a dumbass she is…that’s why she stressed out and dragged up…
Play stupid games, get stupid prizes. Next stop Nuremberg trials 2.0.
Please telll us more about Nuremberg 2.0, if there is more. Very much needed to dissuade another lockdown and forced vax.
When I was in Australia and NZ in late 90s, both were very socialistic, making large government payments to folks, many to young people just wanting to travel around the world, who had to come home at some time to sign up for more benefits. Benefits like that encourage bad voting choices, usually choosing money over better government.
You nailed it!
A piece of work.🦨
Not a very attractive tank either, fitting that it should be empty.
It’s a shame there won’t be criminal trials for the forced vaccinations and internment camps.
So New Zealand actually has elections that don’t get stolen? How refreshing!
…really?
Good news from Australia as well, a solid majority delivering a hard no in the referendum on creating special rights for aboriginals in our Constitution.
It’s a win for the conservatives but not a big win. They have the bare minimum to forge a coalition government and will have a hard time passing their agenda, especially if any of their caucus decides to block anything. And conservatives always have a much harder time sticking together than the leftists.
Ardern unexpectedly stepped down as prime minister in January, saying no longer had “enough in the tank” to do the job justice.
Justice was nowhere to be found under the reign of the megalomaniacal Jacinda Ardern, Queen of the Mandates. Its a shame that it doesn’t appear that she will be executed for her tyrannical behavior.
She moved up to work for the UN ! S he gave a speech at The UN just before she resigned! I read “somewhere” that she has backing from CHINA!
NEW ZEALAND IS A VERY GOOD PLACE TO TRY TO RETIRE TO (?) Very hard to get a permanent visa.
She tanked.
Nice to get some good news!
But, but she received her honorary degree from Harvard!
The Ivy League has been dead for some time. Alumni are just parading its rotting corpse from fundraiser to fundraiser to keep the myth going.
Thank you God!
One strange quirk that I have noticed all of these many years is that it is very rare when all of the English speaking countries all have the same political philosophies in charge at the same time.
Jacinda Adern – A DEMONIC SOCIOPATH.
She really made her whole country pay the price for all those cute guys in high school passing her over for her prettier friends, all because of her ghastly horse teeth.
She was the Butterface Benito of our times.
Whatchoo wanna bet, having gone the Tony Blair grandee emeritus route, Jacinda has a half billion parked in her offshore accounts by decade’s end.
Jacinda Ardern and a horse walk into a bar. Bartender says, “Why the long faces?”
They beat the cheat. Imagine 38% (labor green) of the voters again voted for the shit show that was the past few years. I dont buy it. More than 1 in three Australians are morons? The vote fraud is global.
As in the US….elections are stolen.
The election fraud IS global…and globalist.
He should bring charges up on Arden for Crimes Against Humanity.
Just make sure this is no redux of the Republican revolution of 1994, where the Council On Foreign Relations destroyed it and ended up turning it into a CFR Free Trade Treason victory. How much did pedo Edward Heath UK Conservative party ‘leader’ suppress and hamstring the real Conservative MP’s like Enoch Powell
Enoch Powell dismissed after ‘racialist speech’ – archive, 1968
How the Guardian reported Powell’s ‘rivers of blood’ speech delivered at Birmingham’s Midland Hotel on 20 April 1968

Well … the question has been asked over and over and over … WHY don’t we have women in positions of Power? We need women … who are … compassionate … and caring … and nurturing … in leadership. Well … what we tend to get is … HER .. a literal murderer and congenital liar … and Jacinda Hitler. I’m finished with women in leadership,for a while. Until another Margaret Thatcher comes along … women should stay in their therapists office.
At least elections still matter in NZ. Unlike the USA where they can be stolen and no one gives a shit including our SCOTUS.
I’ll miss the guy with the skirt…….
Why was this election not rigged for the Left by the deep state like previous elections?
I might be wrong on this.
I believe you need an ID to vote.
Most voters vote in person
There are no mass mail in votes.
If you want to vote via mail, you have request a postal ballot on an individual basis.
Election observers actually get to observe the election process closely…
Maybe its just much harder to cheat in NZ on the scale of the fraudulent 2020 US Elections.
While most are vaccinated in NZ, and here too, lots of us are having regrets seeing the sequelæ of the mRNA injections.
She should have rattled her dags and left earlier.
Feels good.
Praying that he won’t allow the globalist agenda to continue to prosper in that beautiful country.
The right got 39% but the far left Labour and Greens combined got 38%. Looks like not of Kiwis have learned their lesson.
