Ardern to step down February

[Lilith7]

Te Pāti Māori has responded with grace and gratitude (unlike ACT) and the party has gone up in my estimation. 

"Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was ÔÇ£driven from politicsÔÇØ because of ÔÇ£constant personalisation and vilificationÔÇØ in what Te P─üti M─üori labelled the most ÔÇ£demeaning form of politics we have ever seenÔÇØ.

Te P─üti M─üori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer pulled no punches in her reaction to ArdernÔÇÖs shock resignation and said the Prime MinisterÔÇÖs ÔÇ£wh─ünau have withstood the ugliest attacks over the last two yearsÔÇØ.

ÔÇ£Te P─üti M─üori wishes to thank the outstanding contribution Jacinda Ardern has made to our country,ÔÇØ Ngarewa-Packer said.

Yep, given the really nasty misogyny which has been exhibited towards her its amazing she lasted this long; its the type of viciousness from some which can be difficult to deal with.
