Armchair_Politician Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 25824 Gender:	Will Rudd quit? Aug 30^th, 2013 at 8:00am When Rudd gives his concession speech on the night of September 7, will he stay the full term as either Opposition Leader or just a member of the Opposition, or will he quit politics and force a by-election? The people have a right to know!

if he gets a massive swing against him in his electorate he will never ever forgive them.. so yes I think he will go into hiding..lick his wounds until he is offered a high profile position in some labor[state] govt that includes huge travel...

Rudd is the ultimate pariah. Libs would never give him a job and Labor hates his guts even more.

Sure, anything can happen between now and election day.

Meanwhile polling shows Abbott will not repeal the carbon pricing because he will be a lame duck ... unless Labor caves and once again reneges on our generations greatest moral issue.

If Abbott doesn't go to a DD, it will reveal himself as a bigger liar than the previous Labor leader.

Man or rat?

Playing dumb suits you.

Abbott hasn't got the senate on current polling, making his carbon levy removal a lie unless he goes to a DD.

Abbott is setting himself up to being the biggest liar of them all.

current polling suggests that the conservative parties may hold a majority. you dont get to simply pretend that isnt true.
