Analysing the ALP's vote come September/ Respecting my country is important to me.

It is pretty clear that with Julia Gillard, Wayne Swan, Bill Shorten at the helm, the ALP will be demolished as a political entity in September...for a minimum of 20 years.
With Kevin Rudd and a new team at the helm, the ALP will be demolished for maybe 10 years.
You can see why Bill Shorten is being so ambivalent right now...
His chances for himself as a 'statesman' will increase if both Julia and Kevin fail completely....so he is in a hard place, but a hard place he created for himself and indeed, for us.
The problem with being a Great Manipulator, as Bill Shorten most certainly is, is that he is also a very flawed human being, and this keeps showing through in public.
We are all flawed human beings, but NOT THAT flawed as is young small Bill. It's true.

None of the current ALP ministers show any real abiding strategic political intelligence or ideology at all.
This is what the ALP actually is now...short term profit entrepreneurs using 'the Faithful' for their own purposes to continue to wear nice suits and jackets and get paid for pronouncements that look kind of okay but aren't backed up at all by real human work or real human initiative... or even real political normalcy. The Australian Labor Party is a Party bereft of Human Reason.
It isn't going to work.
They've had the massive opportunities, opportunities no one in Australian politics has ever had before, ever, the opportunities to enshrine and ensure a decent well-off Australia that persists well into the future for many decades, and, at every opportunity they've stuffed up every single one of those opportunities based upon really silly and very conservative and almost antediluvian ideas.
We were already behind the 'eight ball' of the Asian Century at the start, because of John Howard, but we have jumped so far back now into the 1950s of Australia that it is really breathtaking, as a failure to thrive. Australia a Nation that chooses to fail to thrive under Gillard. A nation that chooses the darkness. Chooses the small ambitions of its leaders, full of hate for each other, over what is actually fair and decent and a good future for all Australians.

No. No more of this rubbish.

Because of Julia and Wayne and Bill and Penny and Peter we are now at least 20 years behind 'the Asian Century' for the intrinsically important decisions that had to be made...& that opportunity won't come again...and they did all that in 3 years...
No.
No.
The ALP? No. No Way.
Respecting my country is important to me.
