He has what it takes to get unceremoniously booted out as a one term arrogant power drunk Premier. Never forget that he went into that January 2015 election as Premier of a Government with a massive, massive majority in Parliament where the Labour Opposition had less than ten seats. That is a political thrashing, one well due.

That was the nail on the coffin.

The leftard media sold Annastasia to shallow people, some voters foolishly voted for her instead of a man. We need real men as leaders.
