The now almost daily statements by the Liberals that it is their "job" to bring down the government show that Oakeshott and Windsor made the right decision. The liberals reek of arrogance and seek to destroy instead of trying to be a viable alternative government.

Foxy,

You sound like belly in February.

A little optimistic considering that Labor's primary polling has dropped 4% to 34%.

Dear SM,

I don't know what Belly sounded like in
February. To me and everyone else on the
Forum - Belly has integrity, and he
usually makes a lot of sense. So I take
the comparison, as a great compliment.
Thank You!

I'm too polite however, to tell you what
you sound like.

As for your telling me that Labor has had a
drop in popularity - according to who?
The Libs and their supporters?
well, I guess, the feeling is that if you
repeat something often enough -
it will come true. Yeah, right!

According to the polls the popularity of the
Libs - is well and truly under the radar.
Except for a small and very vocal minority,
who, someone should quietly tell that they lost
the election - and that we do have a newly elected
government.

Foxy,

According to Newspoll, who have got it closer to the mark than any one else so far.

Upon what do you rely?

Belly in February predicted Rudd returned with an increased majority, In June he predicted Gillard returned with an increased majority.

Making assumptions based on personal wishes, rather than the evidence on the ground, is what I was referring to.

Dear SM,

I never make assumptions on "personal wishes,"
as a librarian, I've been trained not to do that.

So, can you give me your Newspoll link please,
because I also use Newspoll as one source, and
my results seem to differ to yours.

Thanks.
