If it happens, relieved.

I've wasted far too much of my life discussing this elsewhere, but...
As an unabashed lefty (and the current Labor party has SFA to do with the left), the only love I have for Julia is that she's not Abbott. Regardless of political alliances, I know I'm not alone in thinking this way, seeing as a) Abbott still struggles to get over a 50% approval rating and b) its VERY hard to find anyone with something positive to say about his policies, other than the somewhat worrying "he's not Julia"...

The Gillard-Abbott era will be remembered as very dark days in our political history. Ironically, the only thing that could put some shine on Julia's longer term legacy is if Abbott gets the job and f$%ks everything as hard as I'm sure he will.

We're doomed if we stay in the frying pan, doomed if we jump into the fire.
So at least Rudd might be able to turn down the heat in the frying pan until the Liberals bring the fire under control.

'A pox on both houses' hey Nathan ;) :). - that's my thinking :-[.

It's hard to believe that great political adage attributed to Abe Lincoln; 'The people get the government they deserve'.  We're not that bad a people are we :'(.

Disappointed and more than a bit let down. As a life long Labor voter I feel the party has swayed from the principles that attracted me to the Labor philosophy back in the sixties. If Julia Gillard ans Kevin Rudd are the best the Labor movement can raise and the current rash of poor decisions is the best they can think of, the party's in deep shit. What really riles me is their pandering to the Greens and their crazy ideals to remain in power. I doubt very much if Bob Hawke or Paul Keating would have put up with the back room deals this current mob are involved in.

However, anyone who thinks the current Liberal Party lineup will be the saving grace is in for a big disappointment. If you think Gillards bad, wait until old Tony gets a hold of the steering wheel of this great nation . If Julia's Labor Party is being driven by the Greens and the wimpy right faction of their own party, the Libs whole agenda seems to be written by Alan Jones and other shock jock ultra right conservatives. Both parties are a disgrace to the voters of Australia. The Labor Party had a great opportunity for reform but they blew it with some dumb decisions but somehow I doubt that the Libs will offer up much different.

I'd never criticise any one for their political views, infact I rarely get involved in political debate.
One thing that does confuse me is people become " Rusted On " voters.
It's a sad lot to choose from though and niether party resemble what they've always stood for.

I can't help but think that anyone who supports the direction Gillard and Abbott are taking their respective parties must be "rusted on".

Labor sure seems keen on using industrial quantities of rust remover. As though destroying its long term supporter base is some sort of achievement!?

His preferred ride is a Rein although he would probably had more success if he had occasionally ridden the Gillard ;D ::).

As been proven by this government, liking or not liking a head of a party is ridiculous. Rudd tried doing something by himself and got the boot. It's the party you have to look at and whether you like THEM surely. What gets me is under Liberal the country was in the black where now we owe squillions. GFC? Didn't labour put us in the red last time they were in Government? Labour is always good for a hand out and that's all that matters.....

That's pretty much how I see it Brad.
It goes in cycles, Liberal save it & Labor spend it, & a bit more.
