- Description
In six frames Prime Minister John Key, a shadowy silhouette through the cafe window, says 'We intend manipulating the voting system by supporting... the election of another partuy's candidate who would otherwise lose, and so.. artificially inflate support for our policies, and we... invited the media to a staged event to witness the deal... where they overheard things thay can't tell the voters... because that would be unethical!' In front of the six frames is John Key, beaming as he holds a teapot and a cup and saucer - 'milk?' he asks. Context: With the 2011 elections looming on the 26th November, strange things are happening in the Epsom electorate. National want ACT in the government and are doing their best to ensure that John Banks wins the Epsom seat, by requiring that their own candidate Paul Goldsmith not try hard to win it. On the eve of the November elections, as a publicity stunt, Prime Minister John Key had a cup of tea in a cafe with John Banks, the ACT candidate for Epsom. The media were invited for filming but someone recorded the conversation which the PM refuses to allow to be made public, thus fuelling speculation about what they discussed.
