Title: Abo To Lead Labor
Post by Greens_Win on Sep 7^th, 2013 at 10:04pm

Sources in Labor said Abo is favourite for leadership.

Could be a smart move so to bring Labor back to the Greens.

Plebiseck is my outsider bet. Anyone but Shorten, pleeeeese.

OMG it just gets worse in labor and for Australia. Next we will get the unionist Shorton.

Labor have no hope in the near future

I am tipping Shorten

When Shorten betrayed Gillard - the deal would have been

(1) I'll support you over Gillard
(2) If you lose - you quit and I'll be leader

Wong would be a good choice.

They could do a lot worse.

Wong's in the Senate. The leader has to be a member of the House.

Well, that cruels that idea.

Don't know who else I'd choose.

Not Shorten, and not Plibersek, that's for sure.

Albo would make a good leader.

Doug Cameron - his accent would remind voters of the union roots of Labor.

I don't think they'd try another woman at this stage .... to close to Gillards time

It's much harder for the Leader of the Opposition to ask questions of the Prime Minister in Question Time if the LOTO is in the Senate. The Prime Minister is always a member of the House, to the extent that Senators that become PM must resign from the Senate and be elected to the House in a by-election. Example: Gorton in 1968.

We can nominate good Senators, but it is likely that the LOTO will be a member of the House, so we should look there first.

I don't disagree with that, but the fact remains that if they wanted a senator as leader of the party they can do it.

Newman was leader of the opposition and he wasn't even a member of parliament yet.

skippy.

According to ALP sources Shorten is the most likely,

Shorten is a dumb f... and for that reason he might be a good choice for first term as he will be unlikely to win and the dumbo would be easy to remove.

He lost any chance after that stupid interview he gave.

Credibility can take years to build up but can be destroyed in 20 minutes or less.
