You have to feel for John Key

John Key must wake up every morning and worry.

And I'm not talking about what the economy is doing or if climate change has become irreversible.

I'm confident in saying that I bet he wakes up and worries about what the people who make up his side of parliament have said or done now.

The absolute kerfuffle over MPs using tax payer money to fund trips for themselves and their other halves is becoming a horrendously bad joke.

The latest revelations about Hone Harawira and Rodney Hide are, from a tax payers point of view, disgraceful.

And as for Mr Hide slamming Key at a speaking engagement on Wednesday night and then apologising the day after, well I think that's just a load of tripe.

I used to think Rodney Hide had something good to offer to the political world.

Now, it's fair to say he's no better than most of them.

He has been a raging failure since the last election.

ACT's promises to straighten out the justice system have been absolute hot air.

And now he's jumping on the band wagon and in my mind taking the mickey.

The majority of our elected members of parliament are very well paid and unlike the Prime Minister they don't donate their salaries to charity.

So how they see it fit to also be claiming expenses to take their partners along with them is just a rort.

I know plenty of business people who travel the world for work.

And they certainly don't take their partners with them – at the company's expense.

Unfortunately it's time for John key to take on the role of the angry dad.

Being nice to these people obviously hasn't worked.

So it's time to take a hard line.

Take them out of action. Remove them from their positions and get rid of the ones who obviously don't listen.

And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone here, so tell me what you think.
