Mr Key seems to be misinterpreting reality as so many highly placed New Zealanders do at times. The rebarabative comment he keeps making that 'We have a mandate to sell assets, see the election results. It was part of our portfolio that we would sell assets. If the electorate didn't want us to sell they wouldn't have voted for us.” Here we have the leader of the country who misinterprets realty on a continual basis to what negative outcomes one has to wonder. People didn't vote national so they could sell assets they voted national to get rid of Labour. The way Mr Key and his cohorts are behaving people will be voting him out at the next election for the same reason, to get rid of him.
I doubt if many New Zealanders vote for any other reason than to just get rid of those currently holding the treasury benches and making their life miserable which sadly every party in NZ is really good at.
