This mornings polls ask that question.
The yo yo like 1 or 2 point change is now normal,first one then the other gain a preferred leader status but both fight a never ending fact,more dislike than like them.
Lets concentrate on Gillard.
Todays poll says more Labor voters prefer Rudd.
In fact look closely at the poll.
It seems universal Gillard cannot win.
I am forced to ask why is the ALP committed to defeat?
On the day Kevin Rudd was knifed was some promise made to Gillard?
I must continue to look for a reason this Government is willing to fall rather than change.

maybe its the same reason Labour backs Turnbull as Liberal leader. Just look at last 3 picks. Poor Kim Beasley must feel sick in the stomach.

Belly, you have admitted yourself that labor are in for the flogging of their lives, Gilkard or no Gillard, as John Huston couldn't even loose this upcoming election.

So my I'll informed opinion is that nobody other than Gillard actually wants the job.

My prediction is that once they are trashed and reduced to a hand full of seats, Rudd will come in, unopposed, pick up the scraps and start about the process of rebuilding what's left of the former labor party, in hope that one day he can be PM again, that's provided time is on his side.

That's step one.

Step two will be to find a trigger for a DD election, won't be hard cause we will still have the greens with a say, then throw the entire senate out and start afresh, and hopefully the greens will become a failed experiment as well.

So in essense, I dont think it's as much a case of labor supporting Gillard, as it is of a lack of interest in others to face the music, because let's face it, about the only record labor have left to break, is that of the shortest primisterial term in history.

Now, if the libs can make even the slightest bit of headway towards rebuilding our economy, stopping the boats and regaining the nations trust, a huge task I might add, then chances are Rudd will run out of time, unless of cause he chooses to set another record for the oldest PM in history.

Dear Belly,

When I first joined OLO The Forum I wrote that Kevin Rudd had been stabbed in the back by Gillard Laborus, Brutus Laborus, Cassius Laborus, et al.

You responded by telling me that that was crap, that I did not know what I was talking about, and therefore must have the brain of a 10 year old.

Now you are going around telling everyone that he was stabbed in the back!

I'm glad to see that you are now agreeing with me.

Two comments one, fails to attempt any answer, runner in his usual spite and nothing like any Christian I ever knew.
Rechtub too fails the test.
Just why, why is Labor contemplating its near death.
NSW is much more than harmful, in truth my party has not yet begun to face this.
If it was not an ALP issue picket lines would scream for justice, cash collections to support action against those who STOLE from the people of NSW would be massive.
Much to gain, if the ALP CONFRONTS ITS RIGHT WING.
Who promised Gillard immortality if she knifed Rudd.
Surely only such a promise can be keeping her in power.
LANDSLIDE, than is the headlines month after month.
Such an out come puts power in the hands of Liberals for 2/3/ even more elections.
Why.
Why are the factions, far too powerful, ignoring Kevin Rudd,s popularity?
Why are both party,s putting up leaders who often have more not trusting them than those who do, as the polls show.

Kevin Rudd would be mad to take hold of the reigns on the eve of a disastrous election for Labor.

All the King's horses and all the King's men cannot put Labor back again ................... before September!

Keep Gillard and let her shoulder the blame.
