Looks like the Liberals have shot themselves in the foot on this one dosen't it. They would have had a good shot at forming government in this unlikely scenario had they acted reasonably.

If the independants swap sides the argument of a new election is very remote, in the original discussions Abbott had agreed to run the full term and I am sure this would still be part of any deal.

ARGUABLY they have

ARGUABLY they are shaking in their boots because Gillard has 26% primary support as well Grin

Bill 14% is not the alcohol content of that wine. It's your poll number

particularly that he helped create a Labor government at the end of last year but not only that, he helped create arguably the worst Labor government this country's ever had," Mr Vaile said.

You have to wonder about his objectivity considering he was a member of arguably the worst government the country ever had.

that's a good one dna

arguably

You understand that you rubbishing the term arguably is only serving to undermine the opinion that you originally posted by Mr Vale. (Who ever he is).

You do realise that Abbott was offering more for the independents to go with him originally and that they would only renegotiate and possibly change side with agreement on a good deal for them.

You also neglect to consider that even as opposition leader he was until recently dealing directly with them on an ongoing basis.
