I dont buy popular. take a good look at what we have got..and what we have had for the past 6 years.... and that so called popular for you.

And how many times was Howard leader before becoming PM? And
wasn't that usually because no-one else wanted the job or was
capable of doing it effectively?

Or didn't that actually happen?

You can't condemn either Rudd or Turnbull for doing, or wanting
to do, something that Howard almost made a career of.

Turnbull had his chance against Rudd the last time he was opposition leader, and was found wanting which was why he was removed.
Very few get a second bite at the cherry.

You're forgetting Lazarus with a triple bypass.

Not that wanting, I recall it was a single vote the difference which is pretty frigging even in my books. Prepared to be corrected.

Or to put it another way, aspirants will challenge so long as they think they can get it up. And if they don't think they can get it up, they remain in the background white anting and leaking.

In the latest opinion polls Malcolm Turnbull rated a massive 61% approval rating dwarfing both Rudd and Abbott by over 20 percentage points.

It shows you what the Country thinks of our Nation's leaders.

He sure is popular. The big question is: Can he phuking govern or is he just good at popularity polls?

I wasn't meaning the one vote.
I meant wanting as in he was up against the worst PM in our history at the time and failed to make one scrap of difference in the polls.
Turnbull was destined to be opposition leader for a very long time the way he was performing.
Abbott changed it around for the Coalition.

it shows what they THINK. that does not in any way impute that they are correct. They currently love Rudd too and there would hardly be a worse leader for labor (other than Gillard) in the last 30 years.

Abbott was elected opposition leader UNOPPOSED. If you are referring to the first time around nearly 4 years ago, I'd ask why you think that is even remotely relevent in 2013

I'm with you cods. It's best the Libs keep Abbott and lose the election, they don't deserve to win by reinstating Turnbull. Cheesy

a spill in the Libs is what you are dying for so you can claim they are just as split and hate each other as the left..

I thin k Abbott will surprise you all I really do...he sure as hell wont make a mess of things as rudd/gillard have...

do you really trust psycho??? come on? even the people in London can see through him

I was and it isn't. You must have missed the bit where I said prepared to be corrected.

Thanks for the correction.

fair dinkum... some of you people are as thick as two short planks...

as I just said in another thread... they got rid of Turnbull for good reason... he was too much like a weak Labor Leader...

THE Coalition and Malcolm Turnbull have received a devastating blow from the OzCar affair, with 53 per cent of voters saying they have a less favourable impression of the Opposition Leader as a result of it.

Mr Turnbull's approval rating has plunged a massive 11 points while disapproval soared by 13 points in the Age/Nielsen poll taken on Thursday to Saturday. The Coalition's two-party vote has slumped five points since May in the wake of Mr Turnbull's call for Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's resignation, which backfired spectacularly.

The ALP now leads the Coalition 58 per cent to 42 per cent on a two-party basis, wiping out the Opposition's recent gains.

Mr Turnbull's disapproval rating is now at 60 per cent

the trouble with you facebook type people is that you think everything is a Popularity contest... "oh look at me, I got 1000000 likes.. vote for me" Shocked

grow up you nincompoops..
