'''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>

 

John Key also has close relations with Stephen Harper of Canada and is Chair of International Democrat Union, an organisation which brings together more than 50 centre-right political parties from around the world.<ref>http://www.3news.co.nz/nznews/john-key-chairs-international-democratic-union-2014112207#axzz3nTJuj7Su</ref>
