If he wanted the privacy that the rest of us enjoy, he should not have put his hand up to be responsible for the lives of 4 million people.
However, the fact is that Key has been the Prime Minister of NZ now for over two years, and still so little about his past and present dealings are known. Am i really the only one that is disquieted by this fact? It seems so few others, even on the left, really are. I guess i should just have more faith in a guy who rose to the top of an industry that is built on shafting the small investor for the advantage of a few at the top:
Forex trading programs - Forex refers to the foreign currency exchange market and trading in forex can be very risky. Many scams claim to have found a "fail-safe" way to invest in forex, but that's not true, and in some cases it's just a way for the promoter to take your money to fund his own lavish lifestyle.

Regardless of his past dealings, this is about transparency - and is essential for a modern democracy to operate most efficiently.
A guy who's responsible for the lives of some 4 million people should be accountable to the people, and that means that all his business and political dealings, past and present, should be available for the public to view. That of course should apply to all of our major political representatives - left and right.
Apparently however, this level of openness is too much for the right wing shills of the blogsphere to condone. But, as they must know, it is in the shadows that corruption has and always will fester. Perhaps this is an all to uncomfortable fact for some.
I will leave you with a presidential speech from JFK on secrecy in politics, and what it means for today's world. I only hope this will give cause for some of those who oppose transparency to reflect on their motivations for doing so.
