Once again the infighting in the Labour party has hit the news again, and from where I stand it is not a good look.
Who would be the best person to lead the party into the next election??
Well it appears with Julia Gillards popularity dropping and Kevin Rudd's on the increase the answer is clear.
Now Gillard's supporters claim the deal with the independents could collapse if there was a change. Well lets look at that, it didnt collapse with the change to Gillard, and they supported Rudd when he led the party through the last election. Doesn't it stand to reason they would still support Rudd??
Right now the Labour party is in crisis and unless they do something they will loose the next election. I am not stating here what i would like to see happen but what the majority of people think. One MP likened it to being on the Titanic as it steams towards the iceberg. Another said if a horse cant win after 12 months stop backing it.
With the labour party dropping to 27% of the primary vote, it may be time to put it to a party vote to settle this once and for all. The bad press does no one any good it takes away from the bigger picture. As for the independents how long do you stay aboard a sinking ship?? Only the party can decide who they want to lead them to the next election.
So its time. Let the party decide so we can put this to rest and get on with things, and get the real issues back into the news and not this continual infighting.
