the possible impact of the announced policies of opposition parties
Pretty explicit. Unfortunately not what John-boy wanted to hear, so let's pretend the agency said the opposite instead. Karl Rove would not be amused at the hamfistedness even if he admired the intent.

S&P calls John Key on his b*llsh*t
Says exactly the opposite, indeed.
Mr Key claimed Standard and Poor's had said at a meeting last month that "if there was a change of Government, that downgrade would be much more likely".
...Standard and Poor's sovereign rating analyst Kyran Curry, who attended the meeting in Auckland, said that would not have happened.
..."It is something we just don't do," Mr Curry said. "We don't rate political parties. We rate Governments."
Asked what New Zealand needed to do to have its higher ratings restored, he said it would require a sustained improvement in New Zealand's external position first.
This would come through stronger export performance and an improvement in public savings - "getting back to what New Zealand was actually doing not three years ago," Mr Curry said.
