We are told Prime Minister John Key resigned because he wants to spend more time with his wife and children. MPs and PMs get heaps and heaps of free time; just check the sitting times of Parliament on television, a bit like our local city and regional councillors who all nearly claim to be frightfully busy 24/7. John Key lost the Northland byelection. John Key lost the flag referendum. John Key lost the Trans-pacific Partnership Agreement deal. John Key lost the Mt Roskill byelection with a landslide victory to Labour. National and Key's reign is over. He knows it and that is the real reason he's left. I'm quite sure Winston Peters subscribes to this view also.

to make those comments H Rhodes,... from 1 to 4...10 the Northland by election was poorly contested, the candidate did not exactly stack up, nor did the other major opposition!..2) The flag referendum was an unnecessary waste of time and most certainly money, although it did provide great debate... 3) to say that John Key alone "lost" the TPP is indeed in itself nonsense, and you surely know it...it is not even known to be "lost" yet, and most certainly had nothing to do with Mr key directly, but more to do with World politics, in particular the American Election (did Mr Key have a hand in this also in your world?).. finally 4)... the "safe seat" of Mt Roskill, if you seriously expected any candidate apart from one wearing red to win in this seat, you are seriously deluded. Take an open mind into politics...now!
