Labor fails to convert widespread support for NDIS to ballot box

[idlewhile]

There is nothing that Julia Gillard can do anymore to stop the slide into the political abyss which she & her cohorts have created.

The head spinning fall in her position in the polls see Labor hanging onto 30 seats at the most. No bounce from her bungled handling & spiteful wedging of Abbott on the ndis at all, in fact a drop.

The Greens are languishing around 10% which could see them in a non representative position after the election where they belong.

But hey...you know what?? Julia said on the weekend that they'll win the next election! This is her not listening, again.

Excerpt & Link.

In the three weeks since the Gillard government unveiled the full details of its key re-election policies on education reforms and disability care, Labor's primary vote has continued to languish well behind the Coalition's and the Opposition Leader has maintained a clear lead as preferred prime minister.

"interest rates will always be lower under the coalition' (john howard, peter costello, joe hockey andrew robb tony abbott.have all stated this in the past.)

well today they are the lowest in 50 years...

so now hockey will say 'it shows the state of the economy' or some such gibberish. murdoch's hacks will dutifully report it as a bad thing, and the lemmings will swallow it.

its not a catastrophe, watching abbott fumble around toward His exit in the next cycle (unless rupert gets tired of him sooner) is going to be a lot of fun you murdoch lackey.

Sorry D9275, your 2 term government change assertion is totally wrong.

LL who (what media organisation) do you blame for these figures:-

Since 1917, within federal politics, there have been the following continuous (contiguous) parliamentary terms:

5 term NATS
4 term UAP
9 term Menzies LIB/NP
3 term  LIB/NP
5 term ALP 83-93
4 term Howard
And so far, ALP 2 term

In between the above there have been
1 term ALP
2 term ALP
2 term ALP

Inconvenient history?

 they aren't all that engaged. a headline here.. an article there.. chip away chip away and bingo. the pressure gets to them.. and not wanting to appear fools (even if they are) the path of least resistance is followed without much thought.

I love how nero appears soon after every dulcet pose. It's as if they are communicating telepathically. It's really sweet. 😄
