You have a very good point there, if he were to slip in the polls then maybe.

In last evenings so-called debate Rudd said he would introduce a gay marriage or 'marriage equality' bill into the house after the election (should he win) in all the bickering over 'winners' this was the only standout promise. will the other bloke promise the same thing ?
Kevin Rudd was very much against marraige equality but has changed his mind WHY ? because he hopes it will win him votes, no other reason. At least Tony Abbott believes in what he has always stated and must be admired for his unchanging stance on the matter. He did admit that if it was introduced in parliament again as a concience vote he would abide by party decision.
Kevin Rudd has over the past few months completely done a 360 on almost everything he said in the past (Kevin 07 days) and is adopting many of the NLP policies as a desperate attempt to win. He is a total lip smacking joke and I love the reference to Mr Sheen by another poster
That's a good thing newstart, to admit mistakes and grow/change with the times. I used to believe lots of things that I no longer believe, believe it or not I wanted to become a nun once upon a time

I doubt very much whether the people most concerned give a flying fig why he has promised it.

if he indeed would vote for it if it were a 'conscience vote' that's great. the thing is as leader.. he has to bring on that vote by allowing his colleagues a conscience vote. he hasn't done that, so it is him standing in the way.. its his decision.
