Prime Minister John Key is walking the walk but not quite talking the talk as he munches his way through a giant sandwich in Winton.

Mr Key, along with Clutha Southland MP Bill English is on a southern campaign tour has he takes in Queenstown, rural Southland and Invercargill today.

In Winton he spoke with students, visited businesses and bought primary school pupils a lottery ticket.

With the storm-in-a-teapot still raging, he faced questions on the future of the Act Party and the publicity-seeking Winston Peters.

When asked what he would do if Act failed to get into Parliament and New Zealand First did, he was frank in his opinion of Mr Peters.

"We want to provide strong and stable Government ... in my view it would not include Winston Peters .... He has a history of breaking up Governments and costing a lot of money."
