Yes, the Lord of the Rings was filmed there – but Kiwis have voted to make their whole country a fantasyland

It’s a tough call on which was more predictable; Jacinda Arden’s victory, or the sickeningly smug reaction from the left.  

Credit where credit’s due. The landslide victory puts the Labour Party in a position of tremendous strength, having won enough support to govern alone. The party scored its strongest result in 50 years.

That said, reports still say, “it remains likely that she will reach out to the left-wing Green Party to form a coalition government.”

Ahead, Kiwis are set to decide on two landmark social issues; legalising recreational marijuana and whether to legalise euthanasia.  

So, New Zealand now looks set to head even further to the left and become one of the most liberal countries in the world.
