Not that I take much notice of polls, but the NewsPoll just released shows Labor's 2-party preferred up, yes up, 2 points to 47% ... WTF.
Sort of sums up how rooted we are. Labor are imploding and Abbott and his clowns are no better.
Kind of justifies my discussions and statements earlier on the page. We have two leaders, that nobody really wants and we are stuck with them.
Need alternatives such as Smith for the Labor Party and if i were the Liberals, would bring back Costello - who was a brilliant politician, whilst never the PM. He would chew Abbott up for breakfast and eat him for lunch.
Hey we could all vote for the Bobbsy twins - Bob Katter or Bob Brown, which would be just great or maybe even Joe Hockey - we are in a terrible political mess and it really does not get much better at State level.
Really, for Tony Abbott to not have an unassailable lead in the polls at the moment, is a disgrace and shows something of the faith that the Australian people have in the Liberal Party and Abbott himself. Abbott, should be miles and miles in front, with Gillard and the Labor Party not even in their or his rear vision mirror.
Based on that , could see another attempted overthrow of Abbot in the months ahead? - if he can't be a long way in front now then his colleagues would have serious questions, you would think on his leadership qualities. Labor in an absolute shambles and gaining percentage points, really is not what Abbott would want to see tomorrow morning, while Labor go through their leadership fiasco vote.
