This is a sad state of affairs when a nations leader can be accurately portrayed this way and does not resign.
Here is a wild suggestion to deal with the "corrupt" (as the Nats are referring to it) politics we are currently seeing. The opposition parties should public announce that when they come into office they will instruct the apppropriate government departments to re-open their investigations with a view to prosecuting. What's more they should make it known that government department CEOs that have turned into Labour lap dogs will be dismissed.
This will likely have an extremely distructive effect on the government sector and politics in general because when Labour get back in power it will be payback time. But it will make things initially transparent.
Worth thinking about.

One my mates in a paper on mmp and the public service suggested that way to make the public service more transparent was to make the public service semi-politicised. Thus admitting that positions within the public service have an aspect of political manipulation and acheiving 'transparency' in the system.
This is one of the negative aspects of the state services act of 1988, that we have a state service which is no longer apolitical. It is sad that instead achieving the best aims for the country that the state service is now a lap-dog for the service of the government and covering its arse when it is corrupt.
