Jacinda Ardern - Jyn Erso
"We have hope. Election campaigns are built on hope."
Y’all thought she was going to be Rey or Leia? It was Jyn Erso who saved the Rebellion’s arse in Rogue One when they thought they were beaten by the Empire, much like Ardern did for Labour in 2017.

Simon Bridges - Mace Windu
“This party’s over” says Simon Bridges as he watches the continuing disarray ever since he was rolled as leader. Also, you& #39;re just waiting for him to drop an f-bomb with his new Baby Yak inspired freedom, admit it.

“Somebody has to save our skins! Into the garbage chute, Twyford!”
