pms reasoning for elect. ann, hard to believe

So the reason given for making a election announcement 8 months out was to ensure "certainty" for business, individuals etc.

Since the government had to call a poll by the end of September, and that most business people or those individuals that cared and had the brains to know would have had already anticipated and planned for an election around that time, the reasoning given today seems dubious.

Does Labor believe that people would swallow this not very well thoughtout explanation? Surely more certainty would be gained by an election next month not in 8 months time.

Julia and the crew know something that they are not prepared to reveal to the public at this time. We are part of their twisted little power games and tactics and must wait until they decide when we are worthy to be treated as adults.

Here's an idea Labor, try telling the truth. I realise that this is a huge ask for any politician, but if you manage it a few times each year you might not continually alienate the average person and may get a few more votes.
