New Zealand's Ardern launches election campaign with promises of jobs, financing

While I'm anti-Labour government, it's almost guaranteed she'll win a second term. In fairness to her, there are no better alternatives.

She is completely incapable of delivering. Great at announcing but that is it. Hopefully Todd Muller becomes PM in September.

Todd Muller will be lucky if he can walk after putting his foot in his mouth so often. All he is good for is moaning about how poor Labour's plans are but has none of his own. He was against the lock down before he was for it. Removes Maori from his front benches, hangs the Maori flag upside down, says he was elected by Labour.. I know he's a good bloke but he is not a great leader.

Labour will get 4 years to actually deliver on jobs and some major infrastructure projects. Housing and transport.

Broken promises and failures one after another are going to be her legacy, comrade adern your time is up.

She announced her government would be transparent, and it is, every one can see right through it.

Loved by the socialists, the communists and those with no clue, however anyone with even more than half a functioning brain cell know she is a muppet leading a barely coherent bunch in parliment.

Labour are great on PR, but absolutely atrocious on delivering. 100K affordable houses anyone? It is easy to be popular when you are giving money away.

Their ministers lack depth and experience, and when screw ups occur, Jacinda refuses to fire anyone (primarily because there are few few able to set up into the the positions.

Simon g - 4 years?

I agree though. I was not pleased when Winston chose Ardern but I just can’t see the current National crowd doing anything decent in the near future... at least nothing to take the popularity from Ardern. National is going to lose a lot of support if they continue to put up billboards like the one that said “putting the ‘our’ in Aotearoa”
