NZ PM John Key Resigning

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I read that he said "I have nothing left in the tank." New Zealand is one of those countries that I only vaguely follow at election time and otherwise ignore, but I'd assume (unless there is a reason that I'm completely ignorant of) that he probably got offered a really plushy private sector job as an international lobbyist and professional corporate board member.

"family reasons", huh? Judging from the American experience, that tends to mean a horrific scandal is coming, so I wonder why he's really resigning.

Family reasons usually involve big money coming into the picture. His wife is probably tired of the public role and wants him to get a nice job in the corporate world so they can rest on their laurels for the next 30 years of their life.
