Protesters outside Parliament (News 21/7) were dismissed arrogantly by Key. That's the second time he has been seen on TV doing that. If he thinks that just because he has been dismissive that's the end of it, he's mistaken, that's only his point of view.
Treating people with contempt who wish to get their views across leaves protest as the only option to get his direct attention. People don't go out of their way in protest for the fun of it. All over the world people are getting out in the streets in anger, fed up with lies and betrayals by their Governments.
Talking to protesters, being seen to listen would be more diplomatic.
It's part of his job to earn the exorbitant amount we pay him, everyone is taxed and deserves to be heard.
Democracy is dead when one man can dictate what he is going to do, disregarding the people and what they have worked for. Cut their salaries, cut out their Perks and cars and their wives' allowances etc. and spend on important binding referendums and let no MP CEO tell us he can have the last word regardless of the majority outcome of the peoples wishes. Local councillors take note.

A Taylor, Avenues.
