He is not a huge fan of Tony either, but we agreed he is effectively in tune with the voters right now.

That is quite true, and he is doing it well.Quichey wrote:As I read in an article yesterday: "As Tony Abbott has spent months demonstrating, convincing voters of something that reinforces their views is far easier than convincing them of something that doesn’t."Psyber wrote:I had dinner with a Liberal MP from NSW last night who is staying with mutual friends here.

That is what election campaigns are designed for.

If thats the case, why is that all he can talk about is giving the people their say and "when i win the election" and "lets have an election right now". You would think if he was fair dinkum about these things he might actually have a vague idea what his policies might be.

The very relevant part about breaking election promises:
TONY ABBOTT: Well, Laurie, when I made that statement, in the election campaign, I had not the slightest inkling that there would ever be any intention to change this. But obviously when circumstances change, governments do change their opinions, and that is actually the responsible course of action.
Far be it for me to say he lied, but given the current hysteria,
he lied

And one of the methods commonly employed by oppositions of both persuasions over time is to dismantle the government and the PM and whatever it is they are on about at any one time. The fact that lefties don't like Abbott is a major plus because it means he is really getting up your collective socialist noses. Go Tony (..or Malcolm or Joe - doesnt matter really)
