Even those threatening to kill him are voting for him

Kathryn Powley in the HoS reports:

They say anything can happen in an election year but threatening to kill your favourite candidate for Prime Minister seems unlikely to help get him voted in.

However, a Palmerston North man charged with threatening to kill John Key said yesterday he would still vote for him in November.

He threatened to kill him, but still plans to vote for him? Why?

Incidentially if he gets sent to prison, then he now won’t be able to vote.

He’d joked that he knew Key ate dinner at a Lower Hutt steakhouse on Thursdays.

“I said to him I was thinking of going and seeing if he was there and blowing him up. It was not like I was actually going to do it,” he said.

In fact, he would vote for Key. “John Key is doing a pretty good job at the moment, better than Labour.”

Poor Labour. They can’t even get the votes of those trying to kill John Key.
