She had more than enough signatures to cause a spill. From the moment Rudd knew that he had no chance of winning in a caucus vote for the leadership in 2010, he decided not to run. He knew it would be a landslide against him. As soon as he decided not to run, that's when her position was legitimised. Why did so many members of the cuacus turn on him? The only mistake that was made during all that drama was not making it public at the time, the reason for the revolt. In a sad sort of way, they wanted to protect his reputation with the electorate.
We have the SMH delivered everyday and by mistake The Australian was delivered today instead. Rudd's brother wrote an article rather scathing of Kevin. He cant even get along with his own family.
Kevin Rudd has proven that he could not handle the position of Prime Minister and just because the public seem to like him, is not good enough. If popularity is all one needs, how about we ask Hugh Jackman to run. He might not be a good politician but hey, he's good eye candy and very, very talented.
Unfortunately, I dont think we've seen the last of Rudd. When someone says that they're sorry for being a bit of a "Mr Grumpy", they just dont get it.
I think the time has finally come where teaching our political system should be compulsary in our schools.
