Business leaders say time for Key to go

The 'Key' brand is over.

The business community has spoken and say it's time for the National party to groom a replacement.

NZME's fourteenth annual Mood of the Boardroom survey has shown three quarters of business leaders want a new John Key.

The survey had 110 respondents from the Deloitte top 200 list of chief executives, company heads and heads of industry-leading businesses including the private and public sector.

Business Editor Fran O'Sullivan said last year, two thirds of respondents felt the 'Key' brand was damaged and since then it's only worsened with the pony-gate saga and failed Northland by-election.

Respondents said their favourite replacement would be Local Government and Social Housing Minister Paula Bennett or a comeback from former National Party Justice Minister Simon Powell.

The survey results were announced at a conference in Auckland today where the general attitude was positive despite the slowing economy.

While 64% of executives believe the markets will slow further, those surveyed feel a larger snapshot reveals other industries are performing well.

Performance and manufacturing is picking up, undeterred by parity with the Australian dollar. The Research and Development spend is also on the rise.


Heated political topics discussed in the survey were housing, the Resource Management Act reforms and infrastructure, specifically regional development.

        Notice they want a "new John Key" presumably because his "brand has been damaged" other than that he seems to have done exactly what they wanted, so they want a new puppet to further their business as usual agenda...

            "What do these clowns take us for?!!!
            Running NZ into foreign ownership/debtorship has always been the agenda - John Key was groomed for this ... He was dropped from nowhere into the National Party/NZ politics, then BAMN he was PM! Now that our farmers are being threatened by bank foreclosures and potential sales to foreign interests/China - as has been devastating farming dynasties in Australia - suddenly "Big Business" don't think that John's doing a good job anymore, and he's being excused!
            Come on New Zealand - John Key's a "money-man" - an assassin specifically - he knows exactly what he's been doing!!
            Key's National Party government HAVE NOT BEEN SERVING NZ and its people - they've been serving themselves! Look at Judith Collins bottling and selling NZ water via Oravida to the Chinese - see her selling and shipping millions of dollars worth of NZ Swamp Kauri to the Chinese!!!!
            ... He oversaw the "man-made" assault/earthquake made on Christchurch (HAARP - same deal on Fukushima, Japan), and he has indebted New Zealand to foreign interests/control... This is a man, a Prime Minister who has fulfilled what's been asked of him, and has curried ALOT OF FAVOURS with Global Elites, and has gained SUBSTANTIAL BANK OF AMERICA PROFITS-PLUS in the process!! ... "Yes, John, go now - retire to Hawaii with your hundreds of millions of dollars worth of ill-gotten gain. Well done!"
            John Key and his tainted party have been undermining the NZ economy all along, and should be brought to account! Even if they don't get jail time or whatever, NEW ZEALAND DESERVES TO SEE JOHN KEY BROUGHT BEFORE THE PEOPLE SPECIFICALLY - IN THE COURTS - AND CALLED TO ACCOUNT.
            P.S.
            KIWIS PLEASE BE AWARE that John Key's initiated flag-change isn't about cosmetics ... NZ is registered as a Corporation and Key's flag-change is an attempt to UNDERMINE AND INVALIDATE NZ'S Constitution/Treaty of Waitangi - Our Sovereignty in preparation for the TPPA and potential Corporate takeover ... yes, seriously.
            John Key and senior Ministers have also been meeting with iwi behind closed doors over recent months, which is concerning Maori as well, so please be aware of what's going on behind the scenes, and what's in play here ... KEEP NZ'S CURRENT FLAG GUYS - IT'S SAFE-GUARDING NZ'S SOVEREIGNTY...

                    Cthulhu is clearly disappointed with Key's performance on the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Solid Energy - a key element of the climate disruption initiative, The loss of mineral extractors - central to agricultural and aqua-cultural toxification. He thoroughly failed to promote the National Front to mainstream political status, and barely kept ACT viable.
                    This is not how Cthulhu how destroys worlds, Key's performance is definitely sub par.
                    The new blasphemy law doesn't even explicitly ban criticism of Cthulhu, perhaps the most serious omission of all. Key is clearly not the team player Cthulhu thought he was.

                                He lied to the Pike River families and the New Zealand public,and has watered down the Safety Reform Bill that was a recommendation from the Commission of Inquiry into the disaster, that he has to go.

                                    NZ has $500 billion debt atm - $100 billion of it is government debt. I thought that the banker might understand how banks create our money supply, but not the interest to pay it - so we pay our interest with our real work and real money, but there will never be enough to pay back the debt therefore we will have to sell all our assets - our land our farms our businesses our children our SOE's our houses - and to whom? the banks who create the money in the first place - mmmm - not happy :(

                                            Bridges is just another mini-Key along with JLR.
                                            Bennett is just a pig of a woman and has nothing but scorn for the people of NZ - that scorn appears to be a compulsory trait for this current government.

                                              As a small business owner, I say that he should go. The rise in GST nearly finished our small PRIMARY HALTH CLINIC. The failure to keep ACC subsidy payments in line wioth inflation.1.9% after waiting for seven years means that the public are now paying twice for this provision. Our sector is being slowly but surely removed from the provision landscape!

                                                  Maybe those 'business leaders' could start thinking about the state of the environment and figure out how they will contribute to the survival of the human species...make that all species. We need a mindshift from the status quo. And journalists such as Fran O'Sullivan could help.

                                                            I think the grooming could let up a bit, in favour of brainstorming a credible growth strategy. Key & English have delivered nothing but debt.
