Mr key are you able to significantly reduce travel flights to the u.s as that would get lots of votes for you it 2011 and it would enable millions of new zealanders on middle class pay and families with high mortgages like my family to see friends and family in the united states do this and you will get every vote

Good on you Mr. Key. Since the start, you will be getting my vote so we can change the country and so next time you can visit Washington as Prime Minister!
