How exactly would it make you sleep better to make the situation even worse?
Also, these people are puppets, not tyrants. The system is the tyranny, and it has an infinite number of expendable people willing to do its bidding.
The system is made up of people.
And there's an near-infinite supply of people who are willing to do the bidding of the rich and powerful for the chance of being called 'prime minister'.
Even if you believe Ardern is a mere figurehead, that just means there's other people who aren't.
By no means. Just because there are many others who would do it in their place, does not mean that they are not to blame for their actions.
I'm not saying not to try to depose these leaders. Just that what you speculated about was extremely ineffective. A removal based on the fact that these policies are bad, would probably be effective. Not so an assassination - that would just make them martyrs and lead someone just as bad, if not worse, to take their place.
Now, speaking hypothetically, if you have the support of the vast majority of people - that strategy might even work. But it will not work when you follow a minority position, unless the individual in question is highly competent or important to the regime. A Stolypin or a Hitler, which is not the case here.
So people who don't support dangerous and highly ineffective strategies are spineless bitches now?
You're not going to be around. They'll crack down and have an excuse for it.
