Myself and my partner are currently considering having children. At best this will make us delay our decision for a few years to see what happens. At worst we will either not have kids or move overseas.

Either way, I feel more strongly about this bill than anything else that is affecting our country. I am deeply disappointed that National has backed down on this. If we couldn't trust your support on this fundamental issue I don't believe there is any point of giving National my (until now) guaranteed vote next election.

Put simply, you have lost my vote.

Regards,

Yes it does show the duplicity of Key. He has longed campaigned against Bradford's bill but now that he has realised that he is unable to stop it's passage into law he now comes out in support. There's a word for this.....Janus.............being two faced.
