The electorate is fucked. Not just here, but everywhere - US included. Everybody and their pet hamster seem to think that they vote for the leader of the country directly. Too much fucking weed for my liking. Rudd told the ALP caucas (who actually run the Party) that he was due to go into hospital and would be unavailable. Gillard was put up by the same caucas as the next leader. Their was no challenge, except in the (so-called) mind of the media. Nobody knifed anyone. AND the fucking Liberals do exactly the same fucking thing too, so those hypocrites can't talk.
Anyway, Abbott is a festering sore and has as much chance of getting in as Obama has of passing for white. Or, even Israel has of calling off their pissant feud with Palestine. The only thing that could fuck Gillard is the stupid electorate failing to distinguish between state and federal issues. But that is also the fault of the media spin. Keep 'em stupid and their yours forever. The church showed us that.
Oh, and I voted already.
