Moving forward, trust me : Comments

By Jennifer Wilson, published 22/7/2010

If the ALP wins government, Australians will have endorsed the right of non-elected interests and party factions to decide who will be PM.

The media has spent the last 12 months tearing Rudd down personally and proclaiming that he was a liability to his party.

When his party reacted and did the only smart political thing, the media then made that the new issue.

At least one of the same media owners has been doing the same thing to Obama.

I don't recall the same degree of confected outrage among the Libs when they were canvassing the idea of Howard simply handing over the Prime Ministership to Costello "when the time was right" or even when McMahon toppled Gorton.

(Maybe if Costello took over they would still have been in power).

Bt the way, the Prime Minister can also be removed from office by a simple majority vote of Parliament.

Where does that leave the voting public then?

We live in a plutocracy. Get used to it.

Just a comment or two, 'wobbles'

If Costello had been the leader of the Liberals, we would still be putting up with his show-0ff sense of ridiculous, childish humour as the parliamentary clown.
Like Abbott, just one step worse than Costello, he was a feckless person and recent events have shown that to be true. He has no respect, which I would have thought was a quality of some value particularly in your own party. Not quite the joke that Abbott is, but almost.

As a Liberal voter you have one hope for credibility, good management, respect, professionalism and international acceptance and that is Turnbull. He is the only candidate worth a penny in that motley collection of Pyne's, Hockey's et al, the Catholic mafia in a secuklar country.

There you are. Both parties have hit the bottom for talent, honesty, integrity and as we all know in times like these, it will take a decade for the quality to improve on both sides of the fence.

So when in the near future you see Gillard, (yes, it will be Gillard as no sane person would vote for Abbott)) strutting the international stage with her weird collection of unfashionable attires from the 1930's and you are forced to cringe as she commences one of her 'moving forward' waffles, you will at least know that you didn't waste your vote on her or her pathetic, corrupt party.

At least you will be able to sleep at night.
