My personal belief is that Kevin won't challenge Julia for the leadership prior to the election, as even he would know the writing is well and truly on the wall for federal labor.

After all, who would want the job of heading the party that may well cop the flogging of a life time.

My tip is he will win his seat, then take up the leadership after Julia does an Anna Bligh style it's all too hard, and run.

What do ya recon!

I reckon Rudd won't lead the party again , because he still has too many enemies.
He was apparently a bit of a dictator and I doubt he has changed.

Julia will surely lose the leadership if (when?) they lose the election.
I can't for the life of me imagine who they would elect instead of her though.

The only thing that keeps Creeping into my mind is how the hell will this country go under the 'leadership' of Abbott... : (

I don't think he will want to lead it is a fast sinking ship.

But I think he will sabotage it and try for a diplomatic post from liberals. He has already started by attacking the mining tax deal.

I have a different view.
So too has more Australians than the supporters of Gillard or Abbott.
I think he is going to try to regain his old spot.
Or leave Federal politics.
A truth is ignored, at our peril,in not seeing the full picture we let politicians pull the wool over our eyes.
Labor voters never saw his anger, never knew a problem existed.
And the given reason, from within the same faction of Labor that ignored the, well in fact owned the NSW FILTH was not the one they dumped him for.
In fact he never got to the lows in the polls, the reason given, Gillard did, or the one she lives in still.
I see, even taste the TRIUMPH in Rechtub , and the usual from Philip s.
Both understand only one side and little of that.
Suseonline has a view shared, fear of that strutting little man Tony trust me Abbott.
Few contemplate my view we may yet see two new leaders before the election, time will judge us all.
This country will be better for the departure one day oF both Gillard and Abbott.
My heart is broken to say it but my party has yet to end the power brokers reign, it will, and to openly confront the insulting war on democracy Rudd,s removal was and is and too, to link the departed NSW Senator will his stewardship of the NSW FILTH.
He has been rewarded! now working for Packer he Marshalled the Gift from NSW tax payers, by a LIBERAL government, to packer in the form of his new Casino.
A story yet to be told but worth waiting for.

The best thing Kevin Rudd could do if he had any integrity at all is to get out of our lives. He's already cost us socially & financially so much that we simply can no longer afford his stupid, ego-driven interferences. He always sprouts about his ability to speak Mandarin. I suggest he go & live in Hong Kong & exploit his expertise there rather than keep maggotting off us blue collar workers. We have enough expenses already to battle through.

What are you trying to do to me Rehctub?

If I were to put my honest opinion of that greasy, slimy piece of garbage on here, I’d be banned for months.
