Controversial socialist Jacinda Ardern, responsible for the brutal quarantine, resigns as Premier of New Zealand

Socialist Jacinda Ardern tearfully announced her surprise resignation as New Zealand prime minister, saying she no longer has “enough water in the tank” to lead her country.

Her resignation will take effect this Sunday if her party, the leftist Labor Party, can elect a replacement with two-thirds of the votes that same day. Otherwise, there will be a transition period and the party will be given time until February 7.

The 42-year-old Labor leader steps down shortly after winning re-election in 2020, having become New Zealand’s youngest prime minister.
