If National wins ...

You are right, means testing or 30% GST would 'work' too

Neither of those are necessary either.

John Key: "rediscover family life."

I hope John has the good sense to avoid being press ganged into sorting out Bank of America.

That would be a labour of Hercules and mean no time to rediscover family life.

Boop boop de do

Yes. Good on you and best wishes. A lot of well wishers from all political corners - apart from misery, grizzleguts, Winston Peters of course.

So who will aspire to the leadership of National and who will prevail? Some observations

1. Bill English: Is he really a long term contender? Been in Parliament 20 years, intelligent, capable but a terrible retail politician.
2. Judith Collins: Labours dream candidiate
3. Gerry Brownlee: Likeable, smart and hard working. But probably doesnt want the job
4.Paula Bennett: has already been promoted beyond her capability
5. Steven Joyce : not prime minister material.

Best Choices for Nationals Future
1. Simon Bridges.
2. Michael Woodhouse: smart, capable


PS. I did predict that he would resign some time ago, and copped much derision from the National posters

Then there's Amy Adams. A quiet achiever with head screwed on properly but more than capable.

Im hearing that Key has had enough too and that he will leave after the next election; win or lose.

You heard it here first folks.

I didnt think about her. She came to a Forum a few years ago which Michael Woodhouse organised. She came off better in person than on TV.

Show us the post.
Exactly what did you predict?
I thought he would resign at some stage (and definately if he lost an election) but didn't see this timing coming.
I expected he would see National to a 4th term then leave.

So after the next election is the same as before?

The first bit of info was given to me and i added the 2nd without thinking it through.Prob common knowledge around parliament but a fact now.

I think John Key needs a Kit Kat and a relaxing holiday.I (almost) feel sorry for him.

I am reasonably certain that he will resign as leader in late 2016/early 2017. The media, I believe, have turned on him.He will sniff the political wind and go.

Hope you have a relaxing and enjoyable Christmas
