Our media is saying, a big part is in the way PM Ardern handled COVID.
Hope this is a good sign for the USA election.

Jacinda Ardern on track to claim huge win in New Zealand's COVID-19 election
Jacinda Ardern looks to have secured a thumping victory in New Zealand's election, with a second term as prime minister all but assured an hour after the polls closed.
Almost 2 million people had cast their votes before election day a little under two-thirds of the electorate in a poll dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 40-year-old prime minister appears to have successfully framed the election as a referendum on her government's handling of the pandemic and on who New Zealanders should trust to lead the economic recovery.

(21,596 posts)7. Congratulations New Zealand! PM Ardern is an impressive leader.
Ive been keeping up with the news about her, through the NZ, Australian & UK media, since she was first elected.
She is an excellent example of how a woman can lead a nation through multiple and ongoing national and global crises.
You are a fortunate nation.
