I really can't grasp why the Liberals won't put in probably the only highly intelligent, articulate and statesman in the entire Parliament - Malcolm Turnbull. He oozes class and intelligence. Will someone "please explain"? Abbott is a good attack dog, but he's not Prime Minister material. Of course, I will take him any day over Gillard, though.

Contrary to what I used to think, Hockey is not Prime Minister material, either. He's too much of a ditherer and doesn't have the courage of his convictions.

Yea, I agree. Hockey reminds me of Beasley, a nice bloke but not PM material.

That sums it up exactly, although Kim would have been about 1000 times better than Gillard.

Labor is looking like replacing Gillard with Rudd and reducing the carbon price. Would that change your position?

By shifting support from Abbott, Libs would be more inclined to promote Turnbull.

As skippy points out, are they really? We've been hearing that for about a year, and nothing's happened.

Are they really? they've been talking about that for months, I think Rudd missed the boat.
I'd like Turnbull to replace phony Tony though. I disagree with john, phony Tony would be MUCH worse than Gillard.

I am in absolute agreement with you about Turnbull, skip, but don't see how ANYONE could be worse than Gillard.

I am still to have it explained rationally what exactly Gillard has done wrong except have appalling dress sense and abismal media skills. It would seem we are all desperate to have the mad monk lead us into the shadow of the valley of death because he is a media bitch. All the major labor disasters we thanks to Rudd and have taken Gillard time to clean up and the whole argument over the ETS is crap and all the loops know it they just can not get off the band wagon. Thompson and Slipper are a result of the hung Parliament and just as much an Abbott creation as Gillard's.

So do you. Nairbe was asking for a question to be answered, not for personal advice.
