RUDD’S PLUNGING POLL NUMBERS: IS HE THE NEW LATHAM?

2 minutes read

Labour opposition leader Kevin Rudd is quickly losing his gloss with the people of Australia the latest poll figures show. After a weekend where Rudd again kowtowed to his Union masters there was a clear rise in support for John Howard and corresponding decline for the dud Rudd.


These figures are now starting to reflect what was seen with another inexperienced ALP leader; Mark Latham.

 

Like Kruddy, there was an initial honeymoon period for Latham when the leftist media gushed over him and the Aussie public were willing to give him a chance. But once they realised how crazy Latham was, and how much better off they had become with the strong leadership of PM Howard, they flocked back to the Prime Minister.


This same story seems to be playing out for Kevin Rudd. He has had an initial burst of support once again from the anti-Howard media. But the longer he has been opposition leader the more his inexperience and inability to stand up to the union bullies that run the ALP have become obvious. Like Latham, he too has resorted to petulant name calling and the politics of envy. It seems that the Australian public is waking up again to the fact that their prosperity and livelihoods cannot be placed into the hands of Rudd and his union mates.


So, choke on that latte-sippers! I can state for a fact now: PM Howard will win the next election. And once again Australia will be in the secure hands of someone who governs for the silent majority; not the loud mouthed chattering classes.

    Digger, it is "LABOR" not "LABOUR". There is no LABOUR Party.
    Without mentioning Howard's dementia, how will they hold non-core John's rotting body together long enough to get over the line? Superglue?

    Superglue or GST? Or maybe massive household debt. Foreclosures? Evictions perhaps? Maybe they can stick him together with a bit of Iraq carnage. How about foreign debt? Inflation perhaps? WorkChoices is pretty sticky...

    Polls have changed only because those who thought they might vote for the nice man Rudd have realised that he is also a right wing maniac and should never have been allowed to join the Labor Party.

    Its true there is no Labor or Labour Party any more.

    There is only greed, lust for power, corporate opportunity and corruption.

    Try and name one honest MP involved in the Labor Party at federal or State level. Its impossible. It is because the Labor Party is beholden to the branch stackers - no deal - no ticket.

    The ones that you are looking at have all had to make very dodgy deals to progress.

    An how cashed up are these branch stackers!

    The main practise at the moment getting in with the property developers.

    The whole 2030/VCAT set up is a massive rubber stamp for the cash to flow and handshakes to be made all round, ay bracksy. (Note: Bracksy's new Parliamentary secretary previously appointed Tony Mokbel's business advisor to become head of a liquor industry assistance fund)

    They are crook as a dogs guts.

    Having ALP ruling the country at state and federal level will be a disaster for communities - property developers and gangstas will run the country (not only Victoria)


    Unless they can do something about the branch stacking...but they can't.

    so,the silent majority,want looow productivity gains,in place of that keep profit margins by lowering wages,keep people dumb ,and bring them back to conditions,which are prevalent on that movie oliver,all economy and no society,the thing that irks me the most are ignorant, brainwashed Howard supporters who actually think they are intelligent and informed,because they listen to 2gb and like pavlovs dog get rewarded for their compliance,as a reward get told how smart they are,while the hosts use emotional anchoring techniques to sucker their audience and gain influence over them to the point,where opinion polls move less than the margin of erorr and they think it means something,obviously by the time the election comes it will be 50-50, ipick a rudd win,to end the enslavement of the australian public to big business, i for one will not be a pleb to the great beast.

    The plunging polls are back to what they were in early march, hardly plunging. Looks like the figures now are real, the honeymoon is over and Howard is stuffed.
