Key and Guyton to swap roles

Prime Minister John Key and Southland blogger Robert Guyton have signed an agreement to trade jobs for the remainder of the year, including the period covering the election, in an effort to get the country back onto a level keel. Speaking from his Hawaiin beach-house, Mr Key said that he worried that he has lost touch with reality and felt he needed to rediscover 'just who I am'. A regular reader of Mr Guyton's blog, John Key has always enjoyed the gentle ribbings Mr Guyton occasionally provides and recognises the truth behind the bloggers words. "I admire him immensely", Mr Key said, "and would like to live the way he does, if only for the remainder of the year. Mr Guyton has graciously agreed to trade places with me and I have every confidence that he can tidy up the shambles I've created , you know, with the economy and New Zealand's society and that stuff."
Mr Key has ordered suits for his 'replacement' and will instruct Gerry Brownlee, Bill English and the other National Party MPs to do exactly as Mr Guyton tells them.
When interviewed this morning on National Radio, Mr Guyton fell about laughing and promised to dismiss the whole useless lot of them the moment he arrived in Wellington.
"I've left Key a hell of a lot of apples to peel and bottle in Riverton so I don't think we'll be hearing from him for some time. I do hope he can make something of himself while he's in my home and the west wall needs painting too."
Mr Guyton and Mr Key will make a joint announcement to the New Zealand public at noon today. It's expected that there will be ripples of approval running up and down the country at the news.
