"Oh God," said the Prime Minister. She was walking along one of parliament's corridors with Grant Robertson, trying to come up with ideas for the slogan, when she saw Winston Peters walking towards them.
"Let's keep walking," said Robertson.
"Oh I love that!," she said. "It's not quite right. But it's close. 'Let's keep.' Let's keep something."
"Seriously," said Robertson, "let's keep walking. He's stopping to chat."
FRIDAY
"Okay," said the Prime Minister. "This is what we've got so far. 'Let's keep.' We're nearly there. 'Let's keep'what? Suggestions, please!"
"Let's keep the faith."
"Too religious," she said.
"Let's keep things the way they are."
"Too conservative."
"Let's keep it a secret."
"Too insane."
"Let's keep in touch."
"Too meaningless," she said. "But this is good! We're getting somewhere. Come on, people! Let's keep moving."
"I've got it!", shouted Robertson. He pointed at the minister whose name no one could remember. "Is it Stuart Nash?"
