'''John Phillip Key''' (9 August 1961) is the 38th [[Prime Minister]] of [[New Zealand]]. Key is the leader of the centre-right New Zealand National Party. Key was first elected Prime Minister in the November 2008 election and, unlike any previous Prime Minister in New Zealand, has won 3 successive terms increasing his majority each election. Key is widely considered to be the best Prime Minister in New Zealand's history and has the highest personal approval rating of all that came before him. The left-wing of New Zealand politics has been decimated since Key's rise to power and the next largest party in Parliament, the left-wing Labour Party, is languishing in the polls.

''"We've got some great leaders in Australia at state level but let me just point to one internationally, John Key, for example. John Key has been able to achieve very significant economic reforms in New Zealand by doing just that, by taking on and explaining complex issues and then making the case for them."''<ref>http://m.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11513094</ref>

==Biography==
John Key, former currency trader for Merrill Lynch, advocates lowering taxes, partial privatisation of some governments agencies, smaller government, business friendly governence and the defence of individual freedoms<ref>http://www.national.org.nz/About/vision.aspx</ref>
John Key was born in a state housing zone while his mother worked two jobs to support the family after his father passed away - it was from this experience Key learned the value of work and to not expect handouts. He rose to prominence after graduating with a Degree in Commerce, working in Singapore, Sydney,London before heading up the Foreign Exchange department for Merrill Lynch. It was at Merrill Lynch he earned the nickname "the smiling assassin"<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/newzealand/8917447/John-Key-the-smiling-assassin-on-course-to-win-New-Zealands-election.html</ref> due to his ability to remain cheerful and outgoing despite having to lay off colleagues. Upon returning to New Zealand he fulfilled his boyhood dream to enter politics and become Prime Minister.<ref>https://johnkey.national.org.nz/about</ref>. John Key advocates lowering taxes, partial privatisation of some governments agencies, smaller government, business friendly governence and the defence of individual freedoms<ref>http://www.national.org.nz/About/vision.aspx</ref>.
==Left-Wing attacks==
Due to Key's popularity and ability to govern for the average New Zealander he has come under relentless attacks from the left-wing. As the left-wing in New Zealand is at an all time low the attacks have become increasingly personal. When Key committed troops to assist the United States in fighting ISIS far-left agitators protested outside Key's house, despite Key not being home at the time, terrifying his wife and children who were effectively locked in their own home. Key's personal wealth has been attacked despite earning his money from entirely legitimate means and anyone who displays a liking to Key or his National Party are vilified on Social Media. Fortunately the media do not share this view and generally report on him fairly.
