Description: The huge shadow of Winston Peters, the leader of NZ First, falls across the wall and along the floor as PM John Key and leader of the Labour Party Phil Goff make their state of the nation speeches to mark the run up to the 2011 election that will be held 26 November. Context - John Key has announced that the National Party will not work with Winston Peters in any governing coalition; he has said 'if Peters is to be a kingmaker, it will only be in a government led by Phil Goff which is possibly an attempt to invoke the Peters bogey to scare people off voting for Goff. This will probably make Peters stronger because the likely result of Key's announcement will be that Labour will not embrace Peters either - and thus, the New Zealand First leader will be able to maximize his appeal by promising to sit on the cross benches and keep both the major parties honest.
