New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, a global figurehead of progressive politics, shocked the country today by announcing she would resign from office in a matter of weeks.
The 42-year-old, who presided over the nation during its worst-ever terrorist attack, the Covid outbreak, and numerous other natural calamities, claimed she no longer had “enough in the tank.”
“I’m leaving, because with such a privileged role comes responsibility. The responsibility is to know when you are the right person to lead and also when you are not. I know what this job takes. And I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice. It’s that simple,” she said.
