Mr Key told a crowd of about 100 supporters and passers-by it was important they mobilised as many people as possible to vote for National on Saturday. “Last night America voted for change. On Saturday, we’ve got to get New Zealand to vote for change.”
Like Obama, Mr Key is a white right-wing millionaire businessman. He also shares Obama’s renowned oratorical gifts:
One Labour supporter repeatedly asked Mr Key to “tell the truth” about the changes National would make to the Employment Relations Act.
Eventually Mr Key’s frustration boiled over.
“The truth is you’re an idiot,” he yelled back.
