this is funny and so true
Dec 25^th, 2015 at 6:09am

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/opinion/why-ill-vote-for-bill-shorten-next...

MORE than a few senior Labor identities have already given up on the idea of winning the 2016 election. Convinced by polls that Bill Shorten doesn’t stand a chance against Malcolm Turnbull, they’re already looking towards 2017 and whoever will lead Labor once Shorten is gone.

This may be a tactical error. Labor’s gap to the Coalition is by no means unbridgeable. The current margin is only four points or so. Throw a decent scare campaign or two into the mix, an increased GST, debt and deficit blowouts, orphan children forced to work in coal mines on weekends, and Labor could be back in the game.

some wild minds out there think like cods.. Grin

Should you want to read the entire article and avoid the "paywall", go to Tim Blair's Blog ....

http://blogs.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/timblair/index.php/dailytelegraph/commen...

I will NEVER vote for Labor (or the Greens) but I will NOT vote for Liberal while Turncoat is the illegal PM. I think many of us "rusted on Liberals" think the same thing. So I have a choice ... Informal with rude words on the ballot or I just don't bother and pay the 20 bucks. I repeat, I will NOT vote for the Coalition while Turnbull is there.

IF Shortarse becomes the next PM ... blame Turncoat. Grin

Turnbull is NOT an illegal PM, and nor was Gillard - that BS needs to stop, now. This is NOT the
USA, and we DO NOT elect our PM like they elect their President.

And you know what a Rightist who won't vote for Turnbull but still supports Abbott is, don't you?

Yep - an EXTREMIST. Or an idiot. Or quite possibly both.

In reality, that is rubbish. Our federal election has become exactly like the US presidental election, based on the leaders popularity. like it or not the reason Labor will not win the next election is because Shorten is unpopular with the electorate. Preferred PM is the only poll which matters. Which is exactly why Abbott was dumped.

Yes - we are quite delusional about choosing our PM when the reality is the party chooses him/her for any number of often silly reasons. Jaysus - we copped Tony and nearly a Joe.. but the perks of being ambassador to the US are better and the work easier than standing up and showing yourself a fool to the voting public... better to be in a quiet place where nobody really notices your endless gaffes......

Silent Bill is not popular..... he needs to do a lot more to get into the public eye and look like he has some balls....

Bring On The Republic!

There is no chance of labor winning the next election. all the polls point to a landslide win for the libs. Turnball is a great communicator and campaigner as evidenced by his continued victories in what was a marginal seat of wentworth. shorten is a dreadful speaker and worse leader. Libs will win by a slightly increased majority.
