Is Shorten PM material?

Six years of crap (by two narcissists) and then a shellacking at the elections and now another narcissist endorsed by the faceless men.

Labor has not learned a thing!

Spot on, this will ensure they stay in opposition for a very long time.

Labor need to scrap this method, if you really want to see party chaos then imagine when the majority of the caucus want one leader but the other is appointed because the greater majority of party members want the other.

I don't believe Shorten is PM material, I'm always cautious of anyone who comes from the union movement and it concerns me what he could do to productivity if he were PM. Statistically Labor will be in opposition for at least 6 years so there will be plenty of time to see.

Yes. Here is a guy who has set very low ethical and moral standards for himself, but which are apparently acceptable to the Caucas.

I suppose that after Rudd and Gillard they thought they may as well go the whole hog.The Coalition frontbench will have no trouble baiting King Rat.

Due to the circumstances involving the relationship between Shorten and Ms Byrce (GG), the GG offered her resignation to Tony Abbott today.

Abbott rejected her resignation as she has until March 2014 to compltete her term of office.

A nice gesture on behalf of Abbott

Yes it also reflects the respect in which she is held.

Just saw him on the news, what a worm of a man, why do we have to put up with this rubbish from the ALP. Rudd then Gillard then Rudd now this.

What are you going on about Burns?

It is obvious to all that you would never be happy with any Labor leader, so butt out.

Yes it is true quacka that it would be extremely difficult to find a leader from among such unworthy incompetent and underhand types but Albanese looks like a shining beacon of leadership compared to that cheating turncoat liar and general all round pigs **** that is Bill Shorten.

40% in favour of Bill Shorten from the party membership.

Either Labor's not even listening to its own or Bill's the sacrificial lamb.

Because all the Labour folk with any honour have resigned.... just warlords, thugs and Fabian brownshirts left over.

I can hardly wait for Rudd to mount a challenge....

The most comical line from anyone Labor for decades: (via Twitter)

Shorten says he wants people to vote for Labor because they know "we have good ideas and understand their needs".by zoe.smith 3:06 PM

ROTFLMAO

He'll be lucky to survive the week.
Ha they're stuck with him now for a while but he'll stuff up sooner rather than later......let's face it he's not very smart.

DB008 · 14 October 2013

I put up an argument on Reddit regarding Shorten not the right person the lead the ALP.

This is the reply I got...

His union background is precisely the reason for why we need him. We need someone to fight back against the corporate bastards.
I would have preferred Albo though.

This is how the younger generation is thinking

It wouldn't surprise me if with one hand he voted for Bill and with the other is sharpening the axe.

There's still an old score there to settle.

I wasn't initially a fan, but the GG has been very disciplined.

Bill Shorten - I noticed in the interview afterwards, he was straight into that sing-song scripted and rehearsed patter, so characteristic of Labor leaders. The rank and file wanted Albanese. Labor still gripped by the dead hand of the unions.

Is Shorten PM material?
