Allow me to comment my bias;

Reddit is an echo chamber, would especially love to hear coherent arguments from people that perhaps don’t fit the echo chamber.

People hate Jacinda with a passion. I, from the left, feel that Jacinda didn’t do enough. But I’m proud of her and Labour for what they did do. They saved lives by closing our borders and delaying covid until we were vaccinated, she seemed to be doing good things for our economy. They raised teachers (and medical?) salaries, eased buying houses for first home buyers, made an attempt at an ambitious plan like Kiwibuild (over promised, though)…

Was it the effects of the global economy crisis that hit NZ? High rent / house prices? Because I struggle to see that it’s better anywhere else.

I’m more of Green voter than a Labour voter, but my electorate vote goes to Labour when Green doesn’t stand a chance.

So what did Labour and Jacinda do wrong?
