Will they do it? If so who will be the next PM? I'm not so sure it will be Rudd, he'll run but I reckon the Rudd haters will support a third candidate. The question is who?
Carr Crean Smith Combet Shorton These are the only real contenders. And Shorton and Combet probably dont want to cruel their futures, so its a night watchmen, Crean Carr or Smith.The rest are very long odds, like Peter Garret is 250 to 1 . |

help help someone has hacked skippys acc and posted a logical balanced post, gthank god for small miracles.
But no Gillard will not be dumped. Rudd is hated and noone else wants to be the captain of the ship when it goes down at election time. More career opportunities after the election when most of the competition has been voted out?? |
Title: Re: Will Gillard be dumped? Post by progressiveslol on Feb 19th, 2013 at 7:02pm
I am hoping they keep gillard. Oh the gratification of watching her get booted from here to sunday.
But if they dont keep her, then I dont care who they pick, because it will be a short term option. |

Gillard will go after the election and Rudd won't replace her, both are proven failures.
Labor has plenty to choose from, unlike the Liberals. Who would replace Abbott? Not Turnbull, most Libs hate him. Joe Hockey? Surely not. |

They have to keep gillard to tell the truth. Surely we cant have the first Australian woman PM not to be elected as PM but to have stabbed a man in the back and sold the people out.
I say let her be elected as PM on her own back or please apologise for the failed experiment for a first woman PM. |

Look at them, Roxons going but she is as popular as an ant nest at a picnic, Wong is a man hater, and those nodding noddies are not leadership material, Lundy is a A Grade moron.
The only woman in parliament that is PM material is Julie Bishop, she go real well me thinks, even better than Abbott. |

I wouldn't do Wong the disservice of throwing her in as a token mention. I'd love to live in a society where Wong would be seriously considered as a leader. I'm pushing for Rudd to reclaim the leadership for political reasons, but I'd much rather Combet or Wong. Skippy wasnt nominating his preferred leaders, he was nominating the most likely suspects. |

Title: Re: Will Gillard be dumped? Post by TheGreenLight on Feb 19th, 2013 at 9:02pm
I think that a new leader is Labor's only possible chance. Sad that Australians would vote for Tony Abbott, and sad to see them fall for the media's propaganda and misrepresentation of Labor as a bad government, when they haven't been. I think that when it comes down to it, people couldn't accept a female Prime Minister. To answer the question, I think that Carr or Shorten should take it. Both are natural leaders and would win a lot of votes.

Lets face it Labor are gone.
I like to think I'm pretty fair if a little to the left, whether with Rudd or Gillard there is nothing they can do but influence the size of the outcome. The 1 last hope is that Tony trips and his so tightly wrapped up he'll suffocate first. |

If Gillard goes all that Labor can do is roll in an old war horse like Crean, the upside for him is he can augment his pension, he'll have no misconception he'll ever be PM and just ride out the storm until the Union thugs can come up with another leader/PM hopeful in 10 years time.

Labor will be dumped, not Gillard or Swan, Rudd, Short, Carr, Crean, Garrett, Combet, Thommo. They are the symptoms of why Labor will lose the next election.
And if Abbott stuffs up, he will be dumped after on term. The long reign of Howard will not be repeated for some time. |

Carr's part of the NSW disease, and he's a Senator, so rule him out.
Shorten is the natural leader, but I would think it highly probable that he doesn't want to take the poisoned chalice. Combet is no leader. Rudd is too damaged to come back. Out of the list, Crean seems the most likely to me. |
