I guess advocating for the living standards of your constituents rather than the profits of corporations really can pay dividends.

What’s the labor party in American description?

New Zealand had one of the best responses in the world to Covid, shocking they re-elected their government instead of electing some right wing demagogue downplaying it, peddling cosnpiracies and doing jackshit about it for months while hundreds of thousands died from it.

It's not a panic. I was asking if it's really 2020. I thought the Labour thing was a thing of the past.
Didn't the Labour miserably fail like 1000 times before??

I have no idea lol, but sorry I misunderstood you. It sounds like they've spent this century steadily expanding from a minority to plurality to majority though.

Such a thing is so foreign to U.S. style two-party politics that I don't relate to it at all.

Don’t worry, it’s still 2020.
actually wasn’t a meteor spotted near Australia yesterday?

Jacinda Ardern has absolutely flawlessly navigated her country through the pandemic so far. Only a nation of complete retards would vote against her leadership.

I'm waiting for the other elections when another virus is going to decide who's the best Politician.

People think about how recent catastrophies or calamities have been dealt with by their leaders, when they vote. Yea.

That's neat, since it isn't even possible for NZ to have "hundreds of thousands die". They'd barely crack 20,000 deaths if 100% of the population got it.

Nope. Her government has a pretty good track record, beginning with - but not limited to - the Christchurch response.

And New Zealand, a nation of 5 million, has had only less than 2000 Covid cases and 25 deaths.

1 death per 200,000 inhabitants.

For reference.

The US has 1 death per 1,500 inhabitants.

I'd think competence and results matter.

The richer your leader is relative to the rest of the country the less cuckish your nation.

considering covid is just the flu and new zealand is an isolated island with world class healthcare, its hardly impressive.
