As you'll realise, the Libs would have more to gain by replacing Abbott than Labor would by axing Rudd! If they did Gillard would be handed the same poison chalice Abbott accepted when no one else wanted it (apart from Turnbull). None in their wildest dreams would've imagined Labor subsequently coming unstuck in such a spectacular fashion, very little of which is down to Abbott (apart from voting down the ETS). >> Is there any precedent for replacing an Australian PM part term for >> other than health reasons? >> >Rudd popularity isn't looking all that healthy at the moment so maybe >you are onto something:-) I doubt they could get that lucky (even with a push). :) Actually I can't think of any instance where the governing party ever gained any votes from a change in leadership (for whatever reason). OTOH when the opposition does it they almost always gain (if only in the short term). :) -- John H

Any German who had read Mein Kampf with an unbiased eye could've predicted it. Hitler stated many of his aims there.

He did indeed, but no one listened. Abbott has been much the same with some of his comments. -- Regards, Noddy. |
