It would be VERY interesting if Turnbull was leading now to see the polls.
Remember when he was leader Labor still had everyone fooled thinking they were actually going to do something with Climate change, and has been pointed to many times it was when that was shelved that voters turned their back.
Turnbull would win in a landslide, only the rusted Labor supporters would vote against him just as only the rusted on Liberals will vote for Abbott, and the Greens would be back to their normal 6% or less support as well.

Given that Turball was polling at a 16% margin you can have your say if Abbott does WORSE. other that that my point remains valid, but I am sure you dont undestand that argument at all.

And if you read the PROFESSIONAL political analysts they are all saying that libs and labor are virtually identical in policy. in fact, can you even differentiate between the two on any genuine policy of substance?

That is one of the worst political analyses I've ever read. IN fact it is close to 100% rubbish. It avoids an political history, any polls and anything else even close to a fact.

Pure drivel.

It is notable that not a single professional analyst has ever made that ludicrous statement that Turnball would fare better. The polls massively declare otherwise. I am constantly amazed at the political naivete of some labor supporters!

I vote GREENS I will preference Labor because as economic managers they have done well.
Interest rates are lower than they ever were under Howard.
Labor at least believe in climate change, Abbott does not.
Abbott will re introduce work choices,I trust him less than I did Howard.
Abbott would be a total joke on the world stage.
The list goes on, there are many reasons, but, and this is where you haven't read my posts in total, if the Libs got a moderate leader, not controlled by the loonie christian right, I might consider preferencing them.
There are many voters like me, if the Libs want our preferences, give us someone worth voting for.

********************

The above mentioned reasons are why YOU are considered a JOKE on here Skippy.

Do YOU understand WHY interest rates are lower?

Do YOU approve of BILLIONS wasted on poorly managed and poorly executed programs?

Do YOU honestly think the bogan Gillard or the poof Brown would be better representatives of this country?

YOU Green supporters are absolute JOKES.

It took the worst global recession since WW2 to drive interest rates low when a labor govt was in power. the rest of the time - when domestic issues drive rates - labor has a very poor record.

Now this is when some chronically uneducated bogan comes on and talks about Howards 22% interest rates - despite never having happened. It is unbeleiveable the things labor supporters say. it is as if the notions of integrity and truth have never found root in their feeble minds.
