And then it's time!

The ex-premier of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern recently stepped down as the PM saying 'I am human. We give as much as we can for as long as we can and then it's time. And for me, it's time,' in her last speech. She was in power since 2017 and at the age of just 42 years, she could have remained in power for a very long time. However, she felt that she won't be able to perform and get a majority in the next polls, she decided to call it quits. Her action and words sound totally alien and unbelievable to us as the politicians in our country believe in 'till death do us part' when it comes to power.

No wonder despite being a country of fewer than 5 million people, New Zealand has the same gross GDP as Pakistan, which has a population of 220 million. Ms. Arden exhibited the best of democratic norms and decided to step down the moment she felt she could not give her best to the country. On the contrary, our leaders, once in power, want to cling to it no matter what. They fail miserably...
