	Description:		Very little about Jacinda Ardern's meteoric rise was predicted beforehand. She became prime minister of New Zealand in 2017 after just seven weeks as opposition leader, she’s ruled in a complicated coalition, and her term has been dominated by shocks: a horrific mosque massacre, a volcanic eruption, and a global pandemic. So are there more surprises ahead? Today on The Signal, we look into New Zealand’s upcoming general election. Have all the crises saved Jacinda Ardern from defeat, and could the reward be unprecedented power? Featured: Dr Lara Greaves, Lecturer, New Zealand Politics and Public Policy, University of Auckland
