New Zealand to delay election until October, citing coronavirus resurgence. The delay comes after the government extended a lockdown of Auckland (www.foxnews.com)

Naturally it's ok when people on the left push back elections and keep their grip on power -- even though New Zealand has had the virus under control for quite some time, and up until 4 people tested positive in Auckland recently they had gone over 100 days without a single positive test.
Once those 4 tested positive, they decided to lockdown the entire city. New Zealand, as a country only has 69 active cases at the moment.
 
Now, imagine the fallout and pugnacious response that would occur had a conservative leader done the same thing. If Trump so much as makes an offhand comment about potentially pushing the election, he get's crucified and labeled a fascist authoritarian who is trying to overthrow the democratic process.

What a world we live in. Thank goodness no one takes the kiwis seriously.

I have seen so much commentary over the years about how New Zealand is such a promised land of peace and plenty from many who wanted to move there,

As long as individual civil liberties are not high on your priority list.

Lord of the Rings really brought New Zealand into the global spotlight in such a huge way. Admittedly, it looks like a phenomenally beautiful country that has breathtaking landscapes, but sadly a lot of the kiwi's that I've met have said they're glad they moved away.

I've had kiwis tell me NZ is just moderate without falling into either too far right or too far left. Guess they won't be saying that anymore

From what I hear, it was moderate up untill 2015 or so. Then like everywhere else it started lurching leftward with staged womens rights rallies and of course their very own glowie op.

They probably don't realize that it's not really a White leftist nature utopian country anymore, but a Chinese colony in its current state where everyone is priced out of having a home in most of the country and has to move to Australia for work.

Get this woman out of office and protest the delay of the election.

Yeah, but I was speaking more about people -- not so much NPC's.

I take the Kiwis seriously. I seriously believe that Kiwis might start getting rounded up and executed if they continue on the path they are on. This bitch is a genuine fascist. She's disarmed the population, and revoked their rights to speak. This only goes in one direction, and it leads to bodies piling up in the streets. The Kiwi's don't seem to understand how much danger they are really in.

Nz citizens were never well armed enough to do much.

Just because there's been a subtle change, it doesn't mean that it's not a serious threat.

If she sells you out to the CCP, you're going to need those guns, even if it's just to get out before it's too late.

She seems to be trying to follow more in the footsteps of Adolf Hitler:

"Delay" elections: CHECK

Take advantage of a tragedy to:

Attack free speech? CHECK

Take people's guns? CHECK

Mark it down right now: this is the most significant threat for a fascist takeover in the Anglo-sphere since the 1940's.

If you told me that in 10 years 15,000 Kiwis were dead, via execution or Civil War, I'd believe it. This doesn't end well.

Considering what the Chinese Communists are doing to Uyghur Muslims, that is a detriment.

Can't expect 4 people to quarantine for 14 days. We need to shut down half the country now for an indeterminate amount of time.

The WuFlu was the green light for the NWO. The UN started putting out articles about it but have hidden most of them since then. The New World Order has a religion of happiness meant to transcend any kind of "crisis". The lockdowns are the first step toward total control.

My kiwi friend (a woman of course) is adamant that I'm crazy and paranoid when I talk to her about this stuff.

She insists it's for people's protection and just laughs when I say her rights are being taken away.

Women should never have been given the right to vote.

Railroading Kim Dotcom already shows where these flightless birds lie in terms of "free-dumb"

The guys a sleazeball, but not much of a country if they bend over backwards for big money.

New Zealand has a fascist government. They should be stripped from the 5 Eyes.

Not too long ago in history this would have prompted a large section of the population to take to take to the streets and forcibly remove her from power for being a tyrant.

But now we have sniveling soy latte drinkers whining "it's ok. It's all about our safety! They know what they're doing!"

If only she had joked about it on twitter first, people would be freaking the fuck out.

To be fair to Ardern she wasn't the first one to raise the idea of delaying the election. The New Zealand First leader suggested it first, and Ardern was against the idea until the recent COVID cases.

She's still a scumbag, but at this point I don't think delaying the election by three weeks is a power grab.

You'll have an election in 3 weeks like I'll be out of lockdown in 15 days.

It will probably be worse after the new LD.

Her polling was bad before wuflu, was good after the LD and they seemingly eliminated the cases and I think she's trying to get back some of the adulation she lost when it turned out cases had been circulating in NZ just that no one saw a doctor.

Her polling's going to be just fine when she shoots a few people for not wearing masks, and disqualifies people from voting. Don't worry, she'll win the election with 100% of the vote.
