Relax, folks ! Only another 187 days !

The best measure of Gillards uselessness is she is running second to Abbott.

Hi there ONTHEBEACH & BELLY...

Interesting Topic there ONTHEBEACH, though I've heard the same old 'talking heads' of federal Labour, declare that WA was fought purely on State issues, nevertheless it still can't augur all that well for Labour in September eh ?

BELLY ol' mate, I can't say I particularly enjoy seeing your beloved Labour Party consigned to perdition in the upcoming Federal Election, in September.

As you well know, I've no specific knowledge of who's who within Labour. But, it's these 'faceless' backroom power brokers, the faction leaders behind the scenes that (in my humble opinion) need to be purged (unequivocally and absolutely) from the ranks of Labour !

But you and I have discussed this on several occasions eh BELLY. Isn't it up to you, by you I mean the rank and file of your party, to finally rid yourselves forever this corrupt group ?

Failure to do so, will reverberate the beginning of the end of this, the oldest political party in Australia, and that would be an enormously sad milestone in our political history, of this once great Country !

It is Julia Gillard's political judgement where she failed dismally.
She need not have agreed to the green's demand that she bring in the
carbon tax.
The Greens were NEVER going to support the opposition.
She could have had their support for nothing and the Labour MPs now realise that.

Simple fact is the Liberals are at the moment the first choice of two evils.

In reality they are both useless, but at least Abbott will not bankrupt us he will fix the Labor mess by taking away everything Juliar and co gave us.

187 days is a long time in politics.

So what are the odds on a spill in the next couple of weeks, say around March 28th, - 3 to 1 ?

then a 'confessional' budget, i.e. one in which the sins of Gillard and Swan are exposed, Khrushchev-style, - 3 to 1 ?

and an election soon after, maybe by the end of June - 2 to 1 ?

Abbott will sweep in, of course, 85 Coalition -20 Labor -2 Indpendents (Katter and Wilkie), - 4 to 1 ?

and gain an outright majority in the Senate - 2 to 1 ?

For all that to come to pass would mathematically be odds of 144 to 1. In practice, the odds look a lot shorter than that.

We'll see.

Wouldn't be dead for quids !
