New Zealand elects representatives every three years to make decisions and laws for the benefit of the people of New Zealand. Since the 2014 election the National government appears to be controlling the house with support by smaller parties, and I feel our country is being controlled by a one man parliament. I feel John Key's decision to deploy forces to Iraq without a parliament vote supports my views.

I am convinced what John Key wants John Key gets. With the Sky City conference centre, selling off state hoes and assets, depriving our children of educational books from public libraries, and other actions, when will he stop and listen to majority opinions?

National's coalition partners New Zealand First and Green Party are against the deployment of our military services, so what right has John Key to make this one man decision?

I say go back to the polls and accept the decision. We will then see who has got ‘got guts'.
