Julie Bishop, would get my vote over Abboott any time. She is much more pleasing on the eye. (Before you get your knickers in a knot, I am teasing.)

Having listened to her speak, she is a much more effective speaker, than our stilted speaking Prime Minister and maybe a much better choice for Prime minister than any other politician I can think of.

Whilst Malcolm Turnbull is very articulate, he is a former merchant banker, which makes him less trustworthy than .........!

As too the many feminists on this site, to be honest I haven't conducted any real research into their actual numbers, I just made an assumption.

As far as I know there are a multitude of different levels of feminism, I think it was mentioned in "Who Stole Feminism". Daphne Patai may also have mentioned them. Then there is the book, 'Lipstick feminism' and a few others.

The vast majority written by female authors.

Come off it Wolly B, there can be no worse way to chose a Prime minister than by their ability to talk.

Obama is about as good an orator as he is bad president.

Both Hitler & Churchill were great orators, & look at how many they killed between them.

Whitlam was a reasonable orator, as was the idiot Rudd, which should be enough to convince anyone, but if you need any more, I won a number of prizes for public speaking.

Ok Hasbeen, I'lll vote for you too.

Poirot>>Sonofgloin appears to be a "faux feminist" or why else would he label women on OLO as "extemists" for venting their views?<<

Not I Poirot..........these few post came from my darling daughter.

sonofgloin,

"Not I Poirot..........these few post came from my darling daughter."

"....especially considering women didnt have equal rights to begin with. what is so wrong about empowering women to ensure they have the same rights...."

Perhaps you should tell daughterofgloin that she has all the empowerment and equal rights to sign herself onto this forum and post under her own username - progress!

(saves confusion)

Dear Poirot,

Interesting times ahead in the political
arena of this country. Did you happen to
watch "Media Watch," and "Q and A," last night?

I also find it equally interesting that otb instead
of answering my questions posed to him earlier
about Julie Bishop as leader of the Coalition
as "offensive." That came as a surprise and then
he attacks me for what I would have thought was
a rather pertinent question considering that the polls
indicate that Ms Bishop is gaining in popularity
over Mr Abbott:
