A former farmer with degrees in commerce and literature, English has been in parliament since 1990 and was previously leader of the National Party in 2002 when it suffered its worst election defeat.

“You learn more from losing than you do from winning,” said English, who will seek National’s fourth straight election win in late 2017.

He was Key’s preferred successor after returning New Zealand’s budget to surplus and keeping the economy ticking over at about three percent.
