...If the Labor Party do change leaders now, the independants stated last year they would not support Labor if there was a change of leadership.
Bring on an early election asap...
Agree.I would think an early election is the last thing the indies would want.
Provided a new leader pork barrells with taxpayer funds as generously as Gillard, I can't see them rocking the boat simply due to leadership change. They might make noises, but when push comes to shove, I would expect them to hang on to maximise their day in the sun.
Btw who saw that bit of flim flam on "60 Minutes" last Sunday, where Julia giggled like a schoolgirl, and most nauseatingly, stood outside The Shed with a coy remark to the effect that she had been told to stay out.
I'd say she did herself much more harm than good with that little effort.

Agree.
Noco, you keep on about a leadership change. Who do you suggest they change to and why?
I don't think they'll do it anyway because (1) they'd be more of a joke than they are now, (2) there isn't anyone who would likely do any better than Ms Gillard, and (3)
their problems are as much about policy, more even, than they are just about the leader.

And this poll is in the SMH, a newspaper with a left-wing readership.

The only Labor minister showing any smarts at the moment is Ferguson, the mining industry like him. The unions trust him and he seems to know when to shut up, which seems pretty unique in the Labor ranks.
However I tend to agree with our Julia, they won't dare get rid of Julia Gillard. More likely that the independents will be the catalyst for a spill.
I can't see the indies creating a catalyst for a spill as they are enjoying themselves too much with their new found fame. And they don't seem to care much for the wishes of the majority of their electorates, so can't seem them being concerned at going against the opinion polls with Gillard's carbon tax nonsense.
Gillard is a "what ever it takes" power girl. I would think there is a reasonable possibility that she would resign if anyone dared to take her out. That way, she possibly has the proverbial gun to labor's head.
