Reply to comment by MaybeACoder007 in Chris Hipkins sworn in as New Zealand’s 41st prime minister by Arrest_Rob_Muldoon

So how do you know there’s a more diverse and more experienced person out there that’s able to replace Ardern?

If there isn’t then having the position be vacant until said person is found is the only correct choice. No person is better than the wrong person.

Which, if you’re going to be honest to yourself, isn’t possible. There needs to be a PM in order to form a government.

So you can’t have it vacant. Now what?

There is no reason any of these members should have been overlooked in the position of PM. They are far more qualified than who was chosen.

Besides the two who don’t have or had ministerial positions, why are the two that do more qualified than Chip?

Because they don’t invoke violence against women or minorities by becoming PM.

I’m also sure they’re just overall better people for the job because they didn’t get their original position due to male or colonizer privilege.

Right. Did the women in question have filed a police report for the invocation of violence against them due to them being women?

Sadly the patriarchy doesn’t recognize the violence they commit as violence.
