Who should lead the opposition into the Federal election next year? (1 Viewer)

[Anthonygeorgiou]

Please vote

hmm. i don't know which way to vote honestly. i don't think either will do a good job.

Voted for Kevin Rudd. I met him on a few occasion and he seem to know what his saying and doing. I think he'll present a better image for Labor than Kim Beazley. He also seem to be a very articulate speaker (he speaks chinese as well), and i remeber a few times where he owned Joe Hockey on Sunrise.

 

[Anthonygeorgiou]

LOL have to agree with u on that. I don't see much hope for the Labor Party. It's just not doing enough. The only votes theyll pick up strongly next year, is not from their 'great' policies, but Howard's sometime shonky policies (I.R., environment for example), those who hate Howard, and the Greenies strong support for Labor.

 

[wuddie]

screw that, stop voting like labor is going to win the next election. johnny howard is a smart politician, i dont necessarily agree with his policies (esp the war on iraq), but he knows how to keep himself in power, and more importantly, maintain that position for the past 12 years. beazley and labor wont have a chance this time around, their best bet would be when australia goes into recession or a downswing in the next time, and then they can blame the liberals for it. but yea, tell me if you disagree.

 

[BlackDragon]

yes i do agree. sound economic management is the centerpiece of the liberal's array of policies. if australia went into an economic recession then they would probably lose government.

Ronald McDonald and Grimace.

 

[Anthonygeorgiou]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. And yes, couldn't agree more, a severe economic downturn on WorkChoices......Gosh. Mass sakcings as businesses struggle. Howard n Costello must love this leadership battle n a buoyant economy.

Beazley by a very narrow margin with Rudd paying him out for the next 12 months, so as to create instability and ensure Labor lose the next election.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

I think with the union support for Rudd now, if beazley wins it'll be a big LOL.

 

[lengy]

I'd definately vote, as opposed to not voting at all, if Kevin Rudd is in the running.

 

[Captain Obvious 1]

lol current vote on this poll is:

Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard 28 90.32%
Kim Beazley and Jenny Macklin 3 9.68%

so, if Beazley still wins the poll tomorrow, this will stand as testament to just how out of touch the ALP is with wide spread feelings.

 

[ihavenothing]

Yeh well the MPs better be reading this or other polls so they don't embarass themselves

 

[BlackDragon]

i voted for kim beazely. only because i don't think either combination can win. my bet is that in a couple of months time the popularity of rudd will do exactly what kim's has done in recents months. its the party not the people which is the prob.

maybe they should just stick with the same leader for once and create a good party with great policies?

 

[ihavenothing]

He's ran out of ideas

 

[timlay]

apparently, from reading a paper, beazley has never won a leadership ballot (From saturday herald. cbb re-reading) but yeah..i think rudd would win, except beazley will 'stand down' until the next elections. and then if they lose, beazley to come back. AGAIN. -___- him and his. 30 years of experience. pfft.

more like. 30 years and nothing done. GG.

 

[Kujah]

Rudd. I'm sick of Beazley, and after so many gaffes (Karl Rove LOL), he should go.

 

[katie_tully]

I hear Michael Jackson's monkey Bubbles is looking for a job.

 

[ihavenothing]

Who would you prefer when Howard bows out?

This thread should be renamed "who do you want to lose Labor the election next year"
