Negligent posted:How can a Prime Minister be judged to have governed competently when his or her Party colleagues thought he or she should be replaced, and actually did replace him or her? Probably because they governed competently while their party colleagues thought they should be replaced.

Tommofork posted:Can you explain this? Did you miss when Crean spectacularly pulled the pin on his own career by coming out and publicly calling for a spill with Rudd as PM, himself as deputy? Problem was he didn't check that Rudd was actually prepared to run first, so Gillard promptly sacked Crean and won unopposed.

I'm kind of hoping Turnbull can scare Labor into shifting Shorten.

Why on earth would you concede so much to the Nats? They do not have a single chip to bargain with. They're nothing without the Liberals.

thatfatkid posted:I'm not sure why so many in this thread are hoping for a change of leadership in the ALP. The leader is just a figurehead of the ALP, nothing more than a mere puppet to their right-wing faction. The policies of the ALP won't change over night just because Albanese or Plibersek is in charge (unless of course they're more right-wing/racist i.e. Julia Gillard scrapping the Mining Super-Profits Tax and bringing in the Malaysia Solution). Seeing as the Greens are not going to win the next election, it's not unreasonable to want the ALP to be in government over the LNP.

thatfatkid posted:Politics is all about perception. If members of the public perceive that the Greens will never win an election, they won't. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Clinging onto the ALP because they're the only shot at beating the LNP is just giving up and letting neo-liberalism win. As long as the ALP continue to chase right-wing swing voters and only throw a few bones to environmentalist and left-wing causes they should be held with the same contempt that we hold the LNP. I just don't buy that we need to be subjected to a thousand year LNP reich while The Greens work on increasing their vote.
