FFS, we've had two years of fluro's and school bully boy theatrics. Enough is enough. I also suspect, if he is still LOTO come polling day, most people who have half a brain aren't going to vote for him, unless of course the LNP has something pretty special up it sleeve in policy.

Will he get the famous "tap on the shoulder" and if so who would do it? It is usually done by someone from the right but can they kill one of their own?<br /><br />The press coverage I can't wait to see is the day the doors of the party room open after the challenge and TA has to front the biggest media throng seen in politics for a long time.

Ten points for that alone.<br /><br />Chris Kenny and all those testosterone-fuelled catholic misogynists at News Ltd and Sky News are total political dinosaurs. They just don't know how out of time and place they are. Sheridan really belled the cat last week. What a huge laugh that was, the poor thing.<br /><br />Like you, I have held firm in my belief that Gillard will win the 2013 election, ever since she formed minority govt in 2010, but geeze louise, its been hard work against the daily tide of narrative mediocrity and simple denseness in the MSM.<br /><br />We can only be grateful that in the end its the voters who count.<br /><br />BTW, I mostly cannot read the robot test, and I don't have much idea what all the comment choices mean.

As such, he has to make the narrative fit his fixed position. Like so many of his colleagues, there's a good chance he'll be left marooned on an island of ridicule.<br /><br />Swing Requirednoreply@blogger.com
