"Prime Minister" is one sided to say the least. It ignores the miserable treatment of the New Zealand public by the Labour government Ardern led, during the COVID era. Forced lock downs, jab or no job, a few highlights. Plus Labour ran the nation further and further, into debt.

By the time this woman had left office, her public ratings were, lets just say, "not so positive". That loss of support, not something that happens, in a vacuum. Labour as a party was not doing well, either. They were defeated, in the next election.

In summary, hardly representative of what actually transpired during the Ardern led, Labour government's, time in office.Aside from decent production values, I can see little to nothing, to recommend this.
