An
honest man?
22
April, 2013
New
Zealanders put their trust in John Key. As the 2008 election neared,
New Zealanders sensed a positive change was in the offing, a change
driven by optimism which held out the reassurance that the darkening
and ominous clouds heralding financial meltdown gathering around
previously rock-solid international banking institutions didn’t
have to reach as far as us.
In
fact, a multi-millionaire, a man who had made his fortune working
with those very institutions had stepped up to offer his talents and
to soften any impact such impending fiscal threat imposed. And look
– he grew in a solo parent family dependent on a benefit for his
family’s very food and rent. He knows struggle street, he’ll
look after us, he’s one of us. Consider his own example; that’s
how we work things out – be positive, couple our innate Kiwi
optimism with a sturdy and aspirational mind-set to embrace a new
New Zealand offered by John Key.
Sure,
we can make mistakes, heh, just look at all that silly fuss about
the Coldplay song on that promotion CD the nice smiling John Key
sent to us. He won’t let us down. Yes, its time for a change. And
guess what? John Key has promised live on television to never lie
and to always do his best.
Now,
four-and-a-half years later we know that was his first lie, and it
certainly wasn’t going to be his last. And these are only the ones
we know about. In fact, as the litany of lies still spills from John
Key, it must be asked: is the litany orchestrated?
You
decide. Take the “power” back.
