Know when to fold ’em

A string of high-profile stuff-ups. You were too smug and incompetent to deal with them.
A disappointment to your boss. Key put a lot of faith in you.
He defended you at first before cutting you loose to protect his brand.
A devastating public humiliation. After which it is clear you have no political future.
Now person non grata. Key has washed his hands of you.
Destined to be one of the has-beens on the backbench.
Your presence a drag on your party. Fodder for your party’s enemies.

Worth showed he knew when it was time to slink off, do you?

Melissa, what good will staying do?
