"Hi Paul. I don’t believe that when it comes to the Opposition the leader needs to be overly popular. Abbott was one of the most unpopular politicians in the land but he won the 2013 election big time and that is because of the old adage that govt’s lose elections rather than Oppositions winning them."
True but what happens once they get the top job?
Abbott is a good example.
Personal negative popularity didnt matter in the election , but does once you assume power.
Bill could win, but he is their weakness, damaged union goods.
He put his union and himself in front of the members they were supposed to represent.
He is exactly what Turnbull said, Billionaires lap dog masquerading as the peoples champion.
Hopefully labor spare us the disappointment of another dud PM and turf him now.
