despite abbott being unpopular (or so it is claimed), despite holden and spc labors primary vote continued to fall. in 2010, and 2013, krudds primary vote dropped about 10% (ok - watso cannot recall the exact figures) - this is labor territory - and labor would be disappointed that voters continued to move away from them.

abbott and the libs would not be remotely concerned about the election loss - shorten and the labs will be worried
