Assuming there is a bi election and Abbott gets in...then he will be only 1 bi election away from defeat..with a hostile senate to deal with.
Yep..thats a recipe for good stable govt Grin

I think the cheer squad are ignoring the political reality while stuck in fairy tale land Wink

and if the 'hostile senate' rejects legislation twice Abbott woudl ahve a DD trigger. and we all know how well that will work out for labor and the GReens in the senate. there is even an outside chance of a liberal majority in the senate. Abbott is not a coward like Dudd and would use the trigger as soon as possible.

YOU TALK BIG! Grin

Do you fellas also realise that when an election is called Abbott is actually going to have to come up with real policies and not just popularist one liners?
Oppositions always look good when any govt has to do the hard yards because they dont have to do anything but critisize..easy peasy and anyone can do it Grin

If Abbott is popular in 2 yrs time and gets voted in..then he deserves to be PM whether I like it or not..but for now, he is in opposition and has no policies or solutions to anything he is currently whinging about so his popularity in polls is really irrelavant. In short, popularism is easy in opposition, until an election..just look at history

DON'T FORGET THE NUMBERS... SURELY CHRIST ULLMAN IS GOING TO GRILL HIM OVER HIS FACTS AND FIGURES REPUTATION! Cheesy

Well now it is official. Abbott has it over Gillard and labor in EVERY measure.

But the real question is will the knives come out qgain and stab Gillard in the back and replace her with Rudd?

In the vernacular of Bill Lawry, Gillard is GAWWWNNN, on ya bike.

Doubtful if the ALP would go for Rudd again, maybe Bill Shorten is front runner.
Forget Wendy, he can't even tie his own shoelaces as he hasn't realised he's wearing loafers, and how appropriate is that!

In short, popularism is easy in opposition, until an election..just look at history

until the 2007 election labor had only one policy - anti-workchoices.

If Abbott is clever and listens to Howard (and he is doing that!) he will not release policies until the election campaign. He has everything to lose and nothing to gain by giving gillard something to attack. Just as in NSW, all they had to do was attack labor and it worked spectacularly.

ANTI- WHAT?

OH, SLAVES-HAVE NO CHOICES... THAT'S RIGHT Roll Eyes

WASN'T THAT UNANNOUNCED?!!?

YEH, TRIP ON ABOUT THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS WHY DON'T YOU! Grin

ABBOTT HAS ONLY GOT THE SMALL TARGET STRATEGY: HE CAN'T BOX IS BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!!! Grin

HEY, WASN'T YOU WHO JUST A MERE FEW POSTS BACK TALKED ABOUT ABBOTT NOT BEING GUN-SHY!??!

YOU'RE A FULL ON JOKE DOOD! Cheesy

JUST LIKE ABBOTT: FUNNY THAT AY!?????????! Shocked

Well no, because that wouldn't be what would happen.

If they had sense about them whatsoever, they would win the by-election, call a dissolution and an election and with Labor so deeply unpopular and the Greens shackled to this carbon tax madness, Abbott would be delivered a reasonably sized majority with which to govern.

There is no way they'd win a by-election and attempt to govern.

The independents would definitely lose their seats (Wilkie might win his).
