Derivatives

pollee

noun
sense 1 of the verb.

Origin:

Middle English (in the sense 'head'): perhaps of Low German origin. The original sense was 'head', and hence 'an individual person among a number', from which developed the sense 'number of people ascertained by counting of heads' and then 'counting of heads or of votes' (17th century)

It's a pity Nicola Roxon hadn't spoken her mind so honestly, just over three years ago.
It's a pity that there wasn't a spill and Rudd obliged to face a caucus deciding vote, even if that further compounded his then fragile emotional state?
I mean, no matter how you cut it, all of Labor's current problems and or polling, have their genesis in Rudd and the Rudd REVELATIONS?
Moreover, those same Machiavellian mechanizations, handed the last election on a plate to a still less than trusted coalition.
A problem not helped by a kow towing PM in damage control and the changes to climate change, highlighted by the fire storm disasters now wrecking havoc to Sydney's west?
Shorten came across as an extremely effective public performer, with a devastating and razor sharp wit!
I think he will do well as an excellent foil for Abbott, who is likely to be made to look a fool by that sharp wit?
And the sheer number of females on Shortens side of the aisle, will more than anything else, differentiate the two parties.
I also believe Labor was badly hurt in its heartland by the disastrous alliance with the dictatorial greens!?
An experiment never ever to be repeated.
Nor should they do any preference swaps with the greens, if they wish to not just win back that heartland, but get small business and Rural Australia onside.
Simply put, Labor must massively improve their primary vote!
They've made a good start with the democratization of the party, which must be seen only as a work in progress if they wish to improve their support base, to the point where they once again become electorally competitive/viable!
Rhrosty.

Barring the unforeseen disaster that is always lurking in politics, we now have two teams set to go head to head for the next three years. This may provide some much desired stability in Canberra.
Interesting times.
Will Abbott continue to grow in government as he did in opposition?
Will Shorten prove trustworthy given his part in the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd melodrama?
How will the two Deputy Leaders shadowing each other in Foreign Affairs go?
Also to watch are The Treasurer and his Shadow, Turnbull, and will that prat Conroy do to Defence what he did to NBN?

But Labor hasn't democratised the party at all when you can have the factions still pulling the Caucus into line to get the leadership result they want contrary to the wishes of the membership. What weird sort of democracy is that? And did Tony Abbott 'grow' in opposition? He was certainly disciplined with his endlessly repeated three-word slogans, but it seems to have numbed his brain as much as ours. He can hardly string together a coherent sentence and all those who can have been gagged. He is leaving a huge vacuum in the political discourse which will result in more airtime being given to other issues and parties. Clive Palmer is having a dream rum because he is available and happy to talk.

Don't forget that the Greens don't like Tony either, witness Bandt's go at him for the NSW bushfires.

Paying back expense rort money actually misappropriated, albeit not appropriated honestly, is not good enough for a Prime Minister.

Mr Abbott dismantling the carbon tax, oops, carbon pricing, and to then put an ETS in place likely in cahoots with Mr Shorten, is not good enough either.
