Key To Success, As National Opens Red-Hot $1.12 To Win Again

Key To Success, As National Opens Red-Hot $1.12 To Win Again!

As NZ Prime Minister John Key delivers an historic Kiwi parliamentary address on this side of the Tasman, his National Government has opened a red-hot $1.12 favourite with leading bookmaker Centrebet to retain office at the NZ General Election on November 26!

Analyst and media chief Neil Evans said despite needing minority party support to win office in 2008, Mr Key’s party seemingly has a stranglehold on this year’s poll against what looks a weak Labour opposition under Phil Goff! “Labour has opened a big $5.30 outsider, and most of the electoral indicators are that National will retain government in its own right,” Evans said. “In fact, I would expect John Key to be comfortably returned even if both the minor Act and UnitedFuture parties failed to be returned.”

Evans said despite great uncertainty over the country’s economic standing, rising standard of living and dubious trade figures, My Key had resonated with voters, especially in the very troubling times of natural disasters, and ironically, the pro fight on carbon emissions. “The PM’s performance and poise during the Christchurch earthquake tragedies should not be forgotten by voters!”

The National Government holds 58 seats in the 120-strong NZ House of Representatives, with Labour holding 42 (having lost one since the 2008 poll) leaving 20 seats spread across minor parties!

Meanwhile, as pressure builds on Australian PM Julia Gillard’s leadership over the hot-bed carbon tax debate, the Federal Coalition has firmed again today on Centrebet from $1.50 into $1.48. The embattled ALP has eased from $2.55 out to $2.58!
