, he said Ardern has become much more well known than any New Zealand prime minister in the past.
"But she had to try and find a way forward," Miller said."And I think her consensus approach helped with this, but at the same time, she wasn't immune to these bigger geopolitical trends." "I mean, for the American audience it is probably a bit like how Barack Obama was perceived, we globally everyone thought he was amazing, but then domestically, he was, he was less popular," said David Cormack with the government relations firm Draper Cormack Group in Wellington.
"She went from this unifying force to this incredibly polarizing and divisive force," said Cormack, also the former Green Party head of communications and policy, said."There were still a lot of people that loved her, but there were a lot of people that had liked her that no longer did, and the feeling towards her seemed really visceral."
