NZ First + Labour form coalition making way for Jacinda Ardern to be PM

[fruxodaily]

[QUOTE]The leader of the New Zealand First political party, Winston Peters, has announced that he will back Labour to form a coalition government, making Jacinda Ardern the country's third female prime minister.

It comes nearly a month after an inconclusive election result left both National and Labour courting his nationalist party to form a governing coalition.

"We had a choice to make … for a modified status quo or for change," Mr Peters told reporters in Wellington, ending nearly a month of political uncertainty.

"That's why in the end, we chose a coalition government of New Zealand First with the New Zealand Labour Party."

New Zealand First holds the balance of power with nine seats, a Labour-Green bloc controls 54 seats, and the National Party 56 seats.[/QUOTE]

Ask Theresa May nicely and she might point you in the direction of Britain's magic money tree.

That is what happens when you remove a government whose sole policy appeared to be bringing migrants into the economy to make it bigger and not pay for the resulting effects it then had on infrastructure, services etc.
