Women Love John Key
John Key A Hit With Female Voters
I've always had a gut feeling women don't vote for other women. So it doesn't surprise me that women are flocking to John Key. Why?
Key is loaded, has a nice family, exudes the sort of "comfort" that women are after in a man and most important of all ... He is just a wee bit of a dork. New Zealand women like that. It's non-threatening. It makes a man not entirely perfect.
I've never really seen the sex or general appeal of John Key. Not really my type and all as he's under it all a bit of a wishy-washy unprincipled flake. Which is why of course he's winning so handsomely because New Zealanders share the same wishy-washy unprincipled easy ways out of decision making. But I do see why other women looking for inspiration to vote find him attractive.
I saw the man work a room in June and it was breathless. He waltzed around charming the knickers off older Nanas. Women stared at him like he was a messiah, oggled at him like they were going to break out into a dance that would only occur at a Rolling Stones concert in the 60's with Mick at the height of his superpowers. His speech was on the button, funny, even witty. And delivered with the adeptness of a professional stage performer.
In New Zealand we've had David Lange (ick), Jim Bolger (ick), Bill English (ick), Geoff Palmer (ick), Mike Moore (triple ick) and of course Rob Muldoon in my lifetime. John Key doesn't have firm competition.
But in a superficial world where women look often at superficiality in choosing a partner, the ability to provide for the family (euphemism for "he's loaded"), look good, make them feel good with a comment or being noticed and even better, a second, just a millisecond even of engagement - John Key is brilliant.
And best of all.
He's not Phil Goff. Surely the world's most boring male leader aspirant with the world's most unusual and non-commanding surname.
Goff has zero sex appeal, not much general appeal at all. No man aspires to be like Phil Goff and the only woman who finds Phil Goff attractive surely must be Mrs Goff.
Sadly for Goff, standing next to Jacinda Ardern constantly doesn't make him more attractive to female voters. Unfortunately it just makes him look a little bit creepy and desperate.
He's not even vanilla in a line up of a budget icecream brand like Tip-top. He has zero stage presence. It is so bad in fact that David Parker, David Cunliffe, hell even Goffice staffer Fran Mold look more the Leader of Labour than Phil Goff.
Phil Goff's brand is one of confusion. A centre-right politician wrapped up in a Budget brand can in the bargain bin. The man who may have been ACT leader at one point. Don't laugh. Some were trying to recruit him in the beginning back in 1995. Thankfully that failed. Even ACT rejected him.
So if it's Goff v Key, Labour will lose.
Attacking Key is a waste of time and I am impressing this heavily in the ACT campaign. A personality contest when you take a Goff to a gun fight, is a waste of time. Key cannot be beaten.
If Labour are to beat National their team has to beat National, without focusing on John Key.
And no election in my lifetime has ever really been won on anything other than who has the most appealing, dominant Leader.
Which surely aint Goff.

when the one on one leadership debates start before the election, Goff will be slaughtered. The fact that the Labour team are going to let this happen is as typical as it is appalling. Mind you, who would challenge Key in such debates?
Part of the issue with Goff is he talks *just* like Helen. Same. Fragmented. Sentences. Same head movements while he's talking. Annette King is the same.
Shoulda fallen on his sword when he was anointed "leader" when Clark left. Hospital pass for him really. I always got the impression that he thought it was his "turn" to be leader.
Not this one.
Yick.
So smarmy.
Dominant leaders..
Might explain why John Key is so fearful of Winston Peters.
Goff should be fearful too.
Labour really are quite royally fucked this time.
This is 2002 all over again. Maybe Goff will have a charity boxing fight..
Labour's biggest problem is that National is doing more or less what they would do in government anyway. What terrible policy scare-crow could you use to motivate Labour party activists these days?
A couple of months ago a lady left the following comment on a Kiwiblog thread discussing the Christchurch earthquake & JK's response:
..."I have met John Key, briefly, twice. He remembers my name, chats easily and knows his stuff. I saw him and his wife come into Euro recently. The whole place lit up. He stopped briefly to chat to a few people as he and his wife made their way to their table in a back corner. He cheerily advised a member of our party to have the chicken.
You could tell the diners that night felt their evening had been made special because he was there.
Now, that’s a powerful effect and it’s not empty or staged charisma. We are lucky to have him in these hard times. "....
That is why Goff will never get traction.
Mind of woman voter???
1) Woman Voter meets John Key
2) Woman Voter tells John she voted for him
3) ????
4) John Key impregnates Woman Voter and she has his children.
I'm a left wing commie socialist so Im just speculating here. Right wing women have no rational faculty? Please enlighten. cheers.
If Key has to win the election to get rid of Goff, rejuvenate Labour and oversee the dismantling of local ownership of state assets to prove how much NZers like punishing ourselves and suffering, just to give us something to whinge about, then so be it...
...let's all have a big fucking bitchmoan now, just don't say we weren't warned on what a lying, cheating, eatarse scumbag Key and co were beforehand.
the signs are all there in the broken promises, failed policies, shifty backroom deals, inept caucus and rushed legislation to bribe the well to do with taxcuts and bailouts...
Sooner or later, even the most smitten of women wake up to find the man they thought they loved is actually a boorish dropkick.
Oh well theres no accounting for bad taste. You can't fool all the people all the time...
nasska... I also met John Key (pre his successsful election). What I noted was that he actually listened and engaged in a normal conversation with me. He came over as genuine. I'm sure Key is not perfect, but up against goff and his idiot joker bunch of pricks it's not a contest.
I do wonder how many Key crtics have met him?
However thinking women may, not withstanding Trader Johns qualities, blackball him at the ballot box over issues among which could be the smacking referendum, ETS taxes and the Foreshore Seabed situation.
Pollywog almost certainly has not met John Key. Must be very mellow living on your planet what with all the medication you obviously take Pollywog.
Oh for heaven's sake! If only I was sitting on $50 odd million gained as brokers fees through facilitating an attack on my own country's economy!!
Please! Please !!
Let me be this rich - so I can demonstrate to you all how amiable I can be.
FFS Cop on to yourselves.
Goff talks so much like Helen, you would think they were siblings.
Key is one of the few non 'poffessional student' or ex lawyer PM's we have had, and the country needs someone who understands business. After all, running the country is like running a very large business with mutiple stakeholders.
As for the occaisional dorky moment - it helps for people to see this, as we are all dorks at some time - whats worse is doing something dorky and pretending its not (Goff, every time he is on TV).
Anyway, I am not a women, but if you are talking about sexiness, the mere fact that this country would be VERY rooted by now if Goff was in power makes Key very appealing to your average hard working, business owning, white fella who is proud to be a Kiwi.
By the way, love the blog, not sure how i found it, but will come back for a squizz every now and then.
