    And note that Ardern's pending book is now all going to be her life experiences and not on leadership?

    Remember how she was going to write about leadership because that's what she excelled at?

    Imagine the damage to her credibility is she wrote about her time as PM and on leadership!

    Would be nice to think the left woke wave could be extinguished. Nice to see we have lead a shift for a change. Many other nations have also had a guts full so fingers crossed.

    When you say would be nice to think the left woke wave could be extinguished it sounds like you don’t agree with democracy and free speech for all, not for the left in this case. And that is a kind interpretation of your comment. But plenty on here were quick to demand “their” version of democracy for them over Maori cogovernance issues.

    Right-wing populists define the enemy of the people to be “other” people, such as Maori, the Left, Greenies, beneficiaries, immigrants, refugees, etc.

    Right-wing populism’s incompatibility with democracy is clear when one carefully considers who “the people” often are in the populist imagination. They are not all the people. They are the minimum winning coalition of the people, and usually a part of the people that are defined in terms of their ascriptive characteristics (e.g., white).

    Such an exclusionary view of “the people” cannot be reconciled with democracy’s requirement of political equality.

    I take pride in highlighting those truths here on ST (and in other mediums as well) and along with countless others, we know we changed a few minds out there to vote out Labour.

    Meanwhile, all the Labour shills had/have been doing here is making excuses and blaming previous government for the disasters created by Ardern, Hipkins and Labour.

    The only disappointment we have is that Ardern did a runner before she got the kick on the backside from NZers to show that she has been a waste of space.

    Don't expect you to understand though as you voted for her. But then, who can understand why you voted for the hypocrite and self-serving red *itch in the first place!

    Savvy?
    What self congratulatory BS.
    Most of you posts have about hurling insults and asking people to kiss your ass and then your true desires came out when you asked people to lick your ass!

    Proud? You set a very low bar for yourself.
    JAK was right, look at yourself in the mirror, however I suspect you do that alot already, over your shoulder... and quite fancy what you see as you have certainly been infatuated with it.

    The truth hurts you woke leftist losers, doesn’t it?

    No apologies as you Ardern indoctrinated guys and gals (& in between) cannot handle the truth. You only like her BS and spin laced generously with false promises.

    What is it with the woke leftists and their degrees?

    First James Shaw tried to fake his bachelor degree and now, we have Clueless Cindy attempting to downplay her 'PR' degree. Something to do with her 5 years of spin and BS while PM?



    What subject did former PM Jacinda Ardern major in at University? Waikato, the Beehive & Bologna University in Italy all suggest different things.


    Waikato University features PM Ardern as a "success story" on its website as follows:

    KEY INFO
    Qualification(s):

    * Bachelor of Communication Studies

    Subject(s):

    * Public Relations


    The University also states, "Waikato's Bachelor of Communication offers a choice of five subject majors in Applied Digital Communication, Creative Media, Public Relations, Marketing, and Media Production". My understanding is that you may be able to pick up the odd paper in another subject, like Political Science, but that in no way remotely forms the focus of your studies. Sometimes people call such a subject a "minor". So it looks like Ardern majored in Public Relations, since Political Science is not offered as a major when you do a Bachelor of Communication.

    Which brings me to how Ardern's qualifications were described when she spoke at Bologna University this week:

    Jacinda Arden was born in Hamilton, New Zealand. She graduated in Political Sciences and Public Relations at the Waikato Management School in 2001 ..

    The Beehive Website also puts "Politics" first in Ardern's Bio, saying her Bachelor of Communication Studies was in "Politics & Public Relations". However Waikato University states she completed a Bachelor in Communication in "Public Relations & Political Science". In University circles like mine this wording is no small thing. It matters a lot. By putting "Politics" first, it infers you majored in politics. If you did a Bachelor of Commerce in marketing, for example, and then applied for jobs, saying you had studied "Economics & Marketing" when you had just done one first year paper in economics, then folks like me would get revved up. Why? Since you'd be giving the wrong impression about what you did to employers.

    Could Ardern be emphasizing political science and de-emphasizing PR, even though the latter is what her studies were primarily about? Could it be good PR to downplay PR? Ardern should clarify exactly what papers she studied & whether Political Science was indeed her major, since that's the impression given by the Beehive and her Bio as described on Bologna University's website (speaker bios are usually supplied by the speaker).

    "Good news, hapless fool. I am handing the government over to you in great shape to win the 2023 election." Ardern

    "Thank you, clueless one. I know what you are doing but this is too good an opportunity not to take - becoming PM!" Hipkins





    Election night 2023 :

    "The *itch sure stitched me up good." Hipkins
