Here he is, summing-up John Key's future:
"As I said long times ago – Key will fail at the pinnacle. It is written in his being.
And now we see it beginning, the long slow fall. You could see it yesterday on his face when he admitted that the asset sales will falter.
It is written in the ground he walks on, the air he breathes… He got his plan not quite right, not quite perfect, he relaxed at the last, or rather, didn’t think as carefully when penning his last chapter.
it’s over"
You've gotta love that!

"Fail at the pinnacle". Not being blessed with Vto's kind of fine political mind I'm at a loss as to how one would ever know if failure had occurred before or after things got as good as they were ever gonna get.
Perhaps he might have said, 'fall at the last hurdle', or 'fall at the point of maximum hubris', I don't know.
Your point is a good one though, Joe. Failure could, of course, be a staged thing, rather than one cataclysmic event and could be occurring all of the time. In politics, it's when a critical mass of people recognise the failure that it can be deemed to have occurred, a little like the tree that falls in a person-less forest - who knew? More to the point, why did it fall. It's most unusual.
did a tree fall over, blardy global warming, now its making trees fall over
Which just makes things worser, faster, eh!
