Whatever it was, it can't have been good for him. And now National are nothing. Personality, popularism, whatever we want to call it has just left the building. With the figurehead gone, the bozos are now all back in the spotlight. Interesting times.
1. He is a globalist and as The Don shows the tide is turning. 2. He was motivated by the challenge of becoming PM and maintaining a lead but never really achieved anything. 3. Someone (on Kiwiblog ) said he would be a great poker player. While he has been caught out he has never flynched*, but he can't be so silly he believes his own rock-star economy hype. His only success, really was opening the borders - a libertarian goal.
Overall there is a rock hanging by a thread over his head.
*EG Corrin Dann you don't want to get immigration down , to fall though, do you. I just got to say something.

SWG Report: The Government’s role Clearly, there are serious questions to be asked about New Zealand’s economic policy and how we got into this mess. Why was it not better designed and managed, and more focussed, coordinated and strategic? Did the electorate simply get what it voted for, without realising what was really happening, or have New Zealanders not been well served over the years? ....... But do we hear that in the media? Do John Campbell or RNZ ever ask what being "more confident about our place in the world" means? In tourism it means competing with foreigners for a bus park near Queenstowns Steamer Wharf or having to compete with gabling Chinese for a house. The reality is our politicians are a product of the media and the media are puppets of left-wing ideologues and rat-bags of realestate. That's why NZ needs a Brietbart. Like didymo takes over lakes and rivers the internationalist left and Flogg Off NZ has smothered community expression. Much as Antonio Gramsci would have prescribed.
That's true isn't it Chris? To fight media bias you need analysts (people, time, skills) and you need infrastructure (webpages, servers administrators, $$$) and you need experts: Michael Reddell is the exception but bank economists are treated like the main character of The Firm (John Grisham) from a young age.
Now is the perfect time for those with experience in that environment to return to the world of high finance and Wall Street with the dawning of the Trump era and the stacking of Washington with Goldman Sachs executives, corporate insiders, and predatory capitalists.
Anyone who gets in on the ground floor of that gravy train is going to make a mint.

John Key is always making calculations. He does this incredibly well, just as he did as a money trader before entering politics. Key knows to sell stocks when they are high, and get out before there's a good chance of them going down in value. It's clear that he saw those stocks as having a good chance of falling in 2017 or soon after.
It is likely John Key calculated that a fourth general election and even a fourth term in government had a very high chance of ending badly. Hence he has bailed out early. This is a decision that has been made on the basis of what is good for John Key, not what is good for National, let alone for New Zealand. The Prime Minister has essentially decided that it is better to go now, while on a high, rather than to go through a difficult fourth general election, which he may lose, or go into a fourth-term government that might require sharing power with, and managing, Winston Peters and New Zealand First. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11761271
You know what JH, I really can't be arsed replying to you any more. But I will say this – I wouldn't take Don Brash's word on anything. So if the rest of your experts are anything like him.... Surprised you didn't bring up Alex Jones actually.
New Zealanders blame investors, foreigners and net migration for the housing crisis, with only 11 per cent accepting the Government's view that lack of supply is the leading cause, according to a survey by the BNZ.
The BNZ Financial Futures survey, which polled 2000 people and was conducted by Colmar Brunton, found that 35 per cent of kiwis rated property investors as the leading cause of the crisis.
About 25 per cent blamed either net migration or foreign investors for the overheated property market.
BNZ chief executive Anthony Healy said he was surprised by how low the number citing supply as the key issue was.
"I've got a very strong view that supply is the most critical issue," he said.
The results suggested the industry and government weren't doing a good enough job of explaining the issue, he said.

ReplyDeleteor, it could of course be health and family issues or Hawaii calling, or perhaps our glorious leader has just had enough–for a Tui!
So Bill English can recommend him for a knighthood.
ReplyDeleteIn the absence of anything more plausible forthcoming I think your question 'WHY' is best answered by John Key himself.
ReplyDelete"I gave everything I had, I had nothing left in the tank".
John Key has been a very good Prime Minister showing wisdom, calmness and good humour through his term of eight years as leader.
I am sorry to see him go and wish him and his family all the very best for their future.

I think he had just had enough and knew he might not win another term.
ReplyDeleteI have never said anything good about Key for very good reason. Just because he is retiring does not prompt me to say anything good now.
