If Rudd wins my bet is on another hung parliament

hahahaha youre kidding right? If Rudd wins, Gillard will make Rudd look like the fool and screw him over. Labor are hopeless and the people are sick of them

Everyone loves Rudd though.

Latika Bourke reporting JG has the numbers to win but it's close.

So it rudd looses, reckon he'll resign?

Gillard says the loser must leave parliament, either her or Rudd.

If Rudd wins and the election outcome is not a hung parliament , then you should leave BoS. After all you have to lose something if you make a bet.

Absolutely impossible for there to be another hung parliament. Coalition already picked up two national seats from the independents with retirement of Oakeshott and Windsor. You have no credibility at all.

 

[Rafy]

Gillard suggests the loser should quit parliament. Fight to the death.

dunno about that. The credibility of Labor has been destroyed. Gillard has pulled a clever card and make the ballot at 7pm. Rudd will be put off and wont be ready. Itll be close

 

[Rafy]

"The Daily Telegraph can confirm that Mr Rudd will contest the ballot."

Re: 2013 Federal election

he stated he wasnt gonna run multiple times and now he has despite multiple attempts. Whats to like? Libs will have this all over the TV and people will take it

Re: 2013 Federal election

Rudd wont challenge though cos he's not stupid, he knows he most likely wont win the election.

EDIT: Oh I missed rafy's post, interesting if true...

Darn you Julia Gillard.
7pm ballot means all the commercial networks will have their programming out of whack tonight.

I wanted to watch TV, DARN YOU.

She's trying to ruin the state of origin, the block, mastechef and other "quality" programming D:


DARN YOU.

Dont blame Gillard this is all Rudd. She had no choice

Doesn't matter who wins tonight. The Libs already have plenty of ammunition. Check out this video posted 10 mins ago.

What has probably been even more of a circus is the trial by media that has gone on for pretty much her entire leadership. They would NOT shut up when Rudd constantly stated his support for her. How do you expect her to be able to lead if she has people undermining her from every area? I do recognise that she hasn't done a great job of managing her party or the factions, but she was never given a chance.

Rudd backers were backgrounding journalists all the way through. The media will obviously pick up on this and will be stupid not to.

 

[Rafy]

Gillard needs to win convincingly. If she wins narrowly her position becomes untenable.
