KW:  John Key will go down as one of New Zealands most competent Prime Ministers and a very effective leader of the National Party.  He will be remembered well by most New Zealanders and has chosen to leave politics on his own terms unlike some others. While we voiced our reservations of the direction he was taking New Zealand especially in regard to the TPPA, the alliance with the U.S. policies in regard dreadful wars in the middle east there is a changing of the guard occuring all around the world in regard to this sort of politics with Brexit, Trump and now Italy all undergoing major shifts and perhaps he simply said its time enough the tank is empty and we should take him at his word on this and wish him well in the future.

The prime minister of New Zealand, John Key, has announced his resignation in a shock move that means the center-right National Party will have a new leader heading into next year’s general election.
