Will Labor change leaders at the eleventh hour?
Jun 7th, 2013 at 12:28pm
 
Can anyone else see this? This is just a sneaking suspicion of mine. I just can't se that many MPs so willingly fall off the sinking ship with Gillard at the helm. Labor is stupid, but they can be very cunning, and I get the feeling that it will change leaders, but not until late July or early august, ie a few weeks before the writs are called.

Agreed.  I'm with Amanda Vanstone on this one.

Yep.

I've never believed the 14th September date.

Rudd in August is my tip.

Who cares.
They've had 2 goes and failed miserably each time.
No more chances
they are bereft of talent
they should bugger off into the political abyss.

I care - I don't like Fanta Pants or Speedo boy - anyone but those 2 - PLEASE!

The ALP has lost their way under their current head (she isn't a leader) and while a change might help, they'll probably lose anyway.

Still - the thought of speedo boy as p.m makes me shudder.

nice completely immature comment from someone I'm hoping isn't old enough to vote.

You don't get to choose or vote for the PM their party and their electorates do.

apparently the ALp had lost its way and Gillard was going to fix that...  well as we can all see... she's really fixed it.

And before the same old stalkers and cheersquad have a mindless go at me again. let me just remind you that I liked Gillard and thought she was a great deputy.

To say this Julia and the others since have been a disappointment is a gross understatement.

They would be stupid to copy the Libs under Howard and hang on to a lame duck PM while they are staring at a comprehensive defeat.

Unfortunately I think they are stupid.
Abbott is  the worst possible candidate for PM this country has ever seen, and  Labor are to blame for giving us the women bashing thug. I have no problem with a Liberal government, my problem is with the fvckwit they have as leader that will be our PM. The fact the likes of Grendel don't think Abbott is an extremist says it all.

The Libs were never winning that election, no matter who was leader. The plan was to minimise the damage as much as possible, which was in the end done quite well, still retaining 65 seats, and in position to almost take it in 2010.

He isn't an extremist, and he isn't a women basher. You just make stuff up, and seem to think that all righties are extremists.

Please provide the quote thanks Skippy...  I'm sure everyone here is aware of you being extremist.

I'm pretty sure being; a Rhodes scholar, a lifesaver, a member of the local Bushfire brigade, a sports nut and the founder of pollie pedal makes him some sort of extremist.

Yes. I'd have to agree with that.

I don't particularly mind seeing the Libs get another go, but I object wholeheartedly to having Abbott as our country's Prime Minister.

Still, he isn't there yet ...
