Jacinda Ardern (Scenario: The World's Liferaft)

Jacinda Kate Laurel Ardern (26th July 1980-7th May 2054) was the 40th Prime Minister of New Zealand from 2017-2031 and is widely considered, for better or worst, the "mother of modern New Zealand". Arden was elected Prime Minister in 2017 and made history in 2018 giving birth to her first child Neve Ardern-Gayford (who would become Prime Minister herself in 2052) bexoming the first female head of government to give birth while in office. Ardern lead New Zealand through the financial crisis of the early 2020s and after the Great Nuclear War initiated a Green New Deal which greatly improved the energy and transport infrastructure. With growing discontent of Ardern's socialistic style and her nickname "Taxinda" becoming more and more prevelant she was defeated in 2031 by Hamish Walker and immediately resigned as Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party. She spent the rest of her life campaigning for anti poverty and environmental campaigns and grooming her daughter Neve to become Prime Minister in 2052. She died in Auckland 2 years later at the age of 73 and her funeral was attended by hundreds of thousands of mourners and many world leaders with her daughter's eulogy widely praised by commentators.
