So, a poll is the truth?

The polls that Labor was going to lose was the reason he swapped sides... it was all poll driven.

So YES... the poll is the truth.

He was also going to lose his seat... he said that the change won't save the party but it would save some MP's... and he hopes to be one of them.

I'd say a poll is part of the truth, but not the whole truth Az.

I see a whole lot of anxiety now that Kevin is at the helm. The polls showed an immediate 5% improvement in Labor's approval and it has gone up again today. It's on a winning path.

to ease stress, here's a tony rabbit bingo game :^O

How do you know the reason?

I will add another scenario.

Julia knew the only hope for the Labor Party to beat Abbott was for her to step aside, and she urged Shorten to give his vote to Rudd.

This is as likely a reason as your hyperthetical.

Wasn't Gillard able to be honest enough to step aside Freak????

Did she need to make it look like a man pushed her aside to help her gender war?

does it matter?

i mean, does it really matter?

i don't understand.

we ALL (at least if you are above the age of 15) know that politicians are notoriously weaseling liars who very often only care about themselves instead of the country.

is there whinging about a politician weaseling to he winning side? ?:|

it's like having a cat and then complain that it started to lick it's anus.

Who are you calling freak?

It's beyond belief that some people accuse Labor members of going into parliament as a get rich quick scheme and for their own personal gain.

It would be easier and pay rewards more quickly to join the corporate sector and trample over others to reach the top and they'd earn more.

But no, they work hard on the ground to earn their endorsement. They volunteer their time to help current members. They wait and learn. They do fight for what they believe in just like those in the greens do or the Nationals do or the Liberals do.

The claim that all Liberals and Nationals are honourable decent people hardworking people, all greens are hippies who hug trees & don't have jobs, or all Labor members are corrupt criminals is insane.

True, freaki, and aligns with other stereotypical attitudes they have.
