I dont think it is unfair to say that whatever the outcome, it was going to be bad for Labor. the mere fact of the leadership squabble made it a vote lser. the fact that there were NO CREDIBLE CANDIDATES at all is even worse.

I wonder if the Liberals would have done the same?

KRudd said he'd take the PM's job again...only if asked to by the Party [MPs].

When push came to shove, they couldn't convince him to put himself forward for the vote...so the ballot was a big fizzer.

Another Labor joke.

With Macca it could be a story about duck food and he would spin it into a negative Labor story, then you would support his view.

Yes a big fizzer.

Why would Rudd want to lead a party where more than half of them
stabbed him in the back?

Six months will pass in the blink of an eye for the electorate, but it will seem like years for her. The real question is, how low can she go in the polls until then.

Going well this Labor Government isn't it Buzz??

Grin

Almost as "well" as that Baillieu Naphthalene LibNat Government in Victoria

( ... OFFICIALLY, Australia's MOST unpopular government - and definite "one termer")

NOT surprisingly, Victoria has been the FIRST to learn a costly lesson
The Federal ALP vote in Victoria is WAY ahead of the LibNats'

Today's result confirmed there WAS no "leadership squabble" since Rudd's ONE and ONLY challenge, which he LOST

Rudd NEVER had the numbers
Which is WHY he has never challenged since

No, it was worse. It was part of labors party who were so disappointed in the misandrist gillard PM, that they went it alone in hope to force Rudd to challenge. Rudd has had enough of this disfunctional party, he doesnt even want to lead it any more.

Yep, its much worse than just Rudd challenging.
