Title: Polling in independant seats

Interesting to note the polls taken show over 60% of those polled in those seats want the independants to support the coalition.

Now my question is this.

Labor sacked Rudd on the base of polls correct?? so they listened to the pollsters.

Now these same pollsters give us 60% support to the coalition will the same labor party machine acknowledge this poll and allow the independants to support the coalition??

after all that would be the honest thing to do wouldn't it???? But we are talking about the labor party here???

That would be the moral and right thing to do. However -

1) Labor in Tasmania completely backtracked on their word in regard to resigning and formed a Government.

2) Bill Shorten is a Labor powerbroker. The same man who dumped his wife for a newer model.

3) Arbib uses leadership as a 'revolving door in a poisonous atmosphere'**

PS - Did anyone see Shorten on election night speaking from his constituency?

He spoke very well and clearly is a leader in the making.

But bugger me, I can see how he gets elected. The state of the people behind him who make up that electorate!!

LOL - a load of bloody shoe-shiners!
