Votes have had their say and they have said they have had enough of Labour and its woke agenda.
While Chris Hipkins is the one who had to front up to the nation on election night, the defeat is very much a rejection of Jacinda Ardern and her brand of radical socialism dressed up as kindness.
Instead of building a nation of unity, Ardern and her caucus colleagues used identity politics to divide us into the oppressed versus the oppressors.
What New Zealanders now desperately need is unity.
It’s this that the new coalition government must achieve if it is to become more than a one-term government. It must close the door on the Ardern legacy of failure and show New Zealanders that division has no future.
