  1. Buh bye you evil dictator and violator of human rights!

  2. NZ has broken the chains of the woke!

  3. Such a great and grateful woman

  4. Thank-you PM Jacinda Ardern. I'm sad about the trolls, but grateful for your leadership and kindness.

  5. Coke really did a number on this lady

  6. Great day for NZ. I will not forget this day. Soooooo happy!!!!!

  7. LOL, nice way to break those stereotypes that men do a better job.

  8. She was pro lockdown,. She is a science denier and should have been impeached for her agenda of domestic terrorism against the people of New Zealand.

  9. Aderns resignation is the first time in my life that I have cried tears of happiness…! didnt even hapoen when my kids were born…!

  10. "Not enough left in the tank"? How non-woke. Shouldn't she have said "not enough charge left in the battery"?

  11. Good riddance to this socialist Dictator.

  12. Good riddance, everyone hates that evil witch.

  13. Good riddance to this crazy nut job that put rapists in women’s prisons and prioritised men’s fetishes over women and girls safety. I hope she’s going to work in a job that has no power over women and girls

  14. We are finally free from this smiling assassin 🎉🥳 one of the worst prime ministers we’ve ever had!
    Even the universe was trying to tell her to quit when it threw her a mass shooting, (worst in recent history) a volcanic eruption and then covid.
    Jacinda, time to go and enjoy raising your daughter and your druggie partner 😂

  15. its time to step down as the 'twitter files' confirm, she is a he.

  16. I can only imagine how exhausting it must be to mix hormone blockers with tyranny and crimes against humanity . . . this dude deserves eternal rest and I hope he gets what he deserves.

  17. Very unpopular person in NZ. Even the NZ media stopped defending her because she made it impossible. Her Abortion Bill took away Maori support. 2 years later, here we are. Huge celebrations across NZ tonight. Nobody is going to work tomorrow.

  18. I hate to break it to you, but New Zealanders are the most selfish people you’ll ever meet, they complained about getting a few jabs and wearing a mask when out when it literally protected themselves and others

  19. She literally said in an interview there are 2 classes of people the vaccinated and the unvaccinated…. Don't feel sorry for her….

  20. American pols (Schumer, Trump, Biden, Pelosi, Feinstein, etc al.): Listen and learn and acknowledge. Your hunger for power is the only emotion in your soul. If, if you died tomorrow, the world, the country, your district moves ever on.

  21. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

  22. I live in New Zealand and trust me she's the worst PM we've ever had. New Zealanders are celebrating.

  23. Probably she saw the statistics.

  24. Hope someone who knows to work with and for the people of the country will take the power and also reduce the growing crime rate of the country. Home interest rates sky rocketing, unnecessarily giving subsidies to people who don't even deserve and showing the country is poor by not even painting the beehive (parliament), selling to Chinese market by allowing all the chineese waste commodities to be sold in NZ, not allowing best companies like Cosco to have malls in all over NZ that will help in reducing the high rates taken by local running stores within the country. By the poor governance made everything within NZ bloody damm expensive.

  25. I suppose being a shill for the WEF was too much for her…….Bye Bye and don't let the door hit you on the way out!

  26. Good riddance! Tyrant.

  27. This is so sad and admirable at the same time. Prime minister Ardent is my role model and I thank for her fhumanity, dignity and exemplary strong leadership. ❤🎉 You make me proud to be a woman.

  28. Too far left. Should was great in covid but after that everything went south. She supported separate justice system for Māori. Hundreds of thousands got Living Cost scheme they were not entitled to because they were non residents. She created Best Start tax credit which gave EVERYONE who had a new born baby $60 every week for a whole year. So a toilet cleaner taxes is giving money to a millionaire who doesn’t even need it!!!!! What’s with all the ram raids and she’s done absolutely nothing to stop the criminals. Too soft too pro Māori and too hard trying to please everyone one. She’s going to be quickly forgettable in the list of NZ pm’s.

  29. This is a sad day not just for Kiwis but for the world.

    A smart and decent human in power is like a unicorn nowadays and she'll be sorely missed.

  30. Na na na na hey hey hey hey 👋👋
