So who wants to take over as leader of a party that can nearly govern

The challenge for the new leader is to at least maintain a very high
bar. I hope the current candidates think carefully about all this.

Of course they will realise they have big shoes to fill, and it would be unrealistic for anyone to expect the same level of popularity that Key had.
But even Key couldn't match the popularity of the party who were polling
around 50%, while the PM was in the high 30s.
That shouldn't change - given the low ratings of Little, and the
Labour/Green party.
