Description: The title reads 'The Tea Tapeworm...' and text continues with the words 'which way will it go?' The cartoon shows a worm with a cup of tea balanced on it. Context: the teacup refers to the infamous teaparty when Prime Minister John Key, had a widely publicised cup of tea with John Banks, the ACT candidate for the Epsom seat who he was endorsing over National's own candidate in order to get ACT into parliament as a coalition party.
