Agreed. She has been the undisputed leader of the Free World since January 2017. (Before that she and Obama were tied for the position.)

I’m Australian, so am meant to be against anything from New Zealand. But it’s a beautiful country and I would give anything to have Jacinda Ardern as our Prime Minister, rather than the evangelical Trump arse-licker we have at the moment.

Boris may be slightly better than Donnie, but he is still an arsehole.

Aim higher. Jacinda for President of the World. 🙂

Indeed, she has been widely admired for leading New Zealand through its recent crises very well, getting everyone to pull together.
