John Armstrong suggests today that John Key made Helen and Michael's day yesterday by say ing that National would not sell assets in its first term. He seems to think this will be very helpful in this election. Will it? We would have thought that this would be an issue for the 2011 election, by which time National and others would have had three years to expose the electorate to the pros and cons of partial sell downs. Anyway it is good to read that Helen and Michael had genuine smiles yesterday.
By the way John, did Michael talk about the Party batting at beach cricket or Helen?
