If Daniel Finkelstein (Running a country is not like running a
corporation (February 18)were a Kiwi he wouldn’t have needed to look
overseas for a politician who behaves like a CEO.
We have our own home-grown John Key to demonstrate how ‘the attraction of a
tycoon is strong when politics is weak’, as it is here in New Zealand.
Of course, he doesn’t rank with Trump or Berlosconi. They’re much too OTT
for us Kiwis. Key is a modest version, a good bloke, and he succeeds where many
businessmen in politics fail because, in Finkelstein’s words, he knows we can’t
be ordered about.
