John Key up close and personal

Looking forward to another three years of us old, white baby boomers running the show? So are we!

Todd McClay still needs to learn about personal space, but ah well, we'll take what we can get.

ACC should really be saving money, not helping people.

Ugh, sometimes my PR guys are such a drag.

We love cars in National. Cars are the future!

When Labour does stuff like this we get WhaleOil to put it out and the media pick it up. But it's OK for us!

In National we think if something is hard it's probably not worth doing.

Here in National we don't believe market solutions are more important than helping people.
