- Description
Shows a 'Doomsday' battle ground of scorched earth and smoking ruins that represent Labour's defeat in the 2008 election. In the foreground John Key, leader of the National Party, (who in this scenario have won the election) calls down a hatch from which a ladder protrudes and tells those below that it is all clear and they are safe to come out. A whirring is heard and out of a round hole in the ground nearby comes a sad little rocket with the words 'No money left' painted on its side. Refers to the poor polling of the Labour Party which is not looking good for the 2008 election and also refers to the grandiose promises being made by John Key about the amount of tax relief he will provide.
