Jacinda still has (unbelievably) a core of devoted followers in NZ. That said, the numbers against her seems to be growing all the time, and a good percentage of those are not just against her but actively despise her, and her government. Her government ministers have been begging for sympathy in the NZ media because they’re getting ‘threats’, and when she or they show up anywhere, in any crowd there’s usually a group of angry people screaming abuse at them. This is unusual for NZ - politicians here tended to be disliked rather than really hated, and no matter how disliked, would be forgotten in reasonable time once they left office. I don’t think that will be the case for Jacinda. There’s a strong message in NZ now of ‘never forgive, never forget’. I know I won’t be doing either: I hate that woman the way I’ve never hated anyone in my life.
