Who Will Be Our PM After Monday?

[time]

Just read some of the posts, politics and religion, what a mix.............

Reminds me of the old saying

"Do you believe in the separation of Church and State?"    "Ummmm ahhhh  Yes"   
"Would you swear to that on a stack of Bibles in a court of law?"

.............doesn't matter who you support etc, whenever you vote you ALWAYS get a politician !

Now lets have a good old fashioned discussion about sex......

[paceman]

just wanted to apologise for my ranting last night.

things are not great in the pace household at the moment, and i let it get the better of me.

to dazzler and others, i'm sorry.

[Crimso]

Which Monday are we talking about?

Monday, Monday, you know, the day that can't be trusted & is often disliked.

[bentnose]

good apology Paceman (I accept).
Group hugs

It's a democracy, 51% is all you need.

And it means 2/5 of his fellow libs don't want him there. Not forgetting his cabinet were duty bound to support him under the Westminster system. (of course they'd have been out of jobs if he'd gone too)

For me the main thing is it unfortunately means he'll now focus on keeping the back benchers happy,  and himself in a job, and not focusing on good policy decisions for the country. How many backflips in the run up to yesterday just to appease his fellow libs? Just makes him look like more a of a joke.

They're all as bad as each other, on both sides. The Rudd/Gillard merry go round made me sick too. They all focus on short term gains to keep themselves in power. No doubt we will get the usual handouts just before the next election (if we make it that far) and the voting sheep will all forget once they get their vote for me cash handout.

Hope all works out for you Paceman.
No need to apologise, you aren't Robinson Crusoe.  Sometimes I could be called 'Friday'.

Luke Hodge is most likely going to call it quits with HFC at the end of this year. What a proven leader he is I can see him being a successful PM for this country. In 2016 he has my vote.

Gotta love a political thread...... where the weak are killed and eaten.

But not necessarily in that order ...

Sorry, who is he and what is HFC?  Union leader and the HFC is a union?    Kevin

i am assuming he means luke hodge from the hawthorn football club (HFC)...

C'mon KrisandKev, HFC (Hawthorn Football Club) are the reigning AFL (Australian Football League) premiers.  In fact, they've won the last two premierships, and are probably favourites to win a third on the trot.

But you knew all that. Didn't you!

well said - you must be a true afl follower and in your comment you did not disagree about the leadership of the great man

[krisandkev]

Sorry, must be a southern thing.     And I know it is hard to believe but I am not an AFL follower.  But I am always amazed with southerners, have some friends who moved up here years ago but they still know their teams song (and sing it) and the names of every player.  Amazing.  And when former Victorian's get together all their conversations are about AFL.  I just sit there and have no idea what they are talking about.    Why can't they talk about cricket or rugby or politics....   OK point taken.....   

I have been put right off former sports people becoming politicians after being disappointed with Glenn Lazarus. (Use to play in the real football sport  , now leader of the PUP Party in the Senate.) Sorry to PUP party supporters, but what a bunch they are.      Kevin

surely they can not be as bad as former singers from rock bands.

Former "vocalist" would be more appropriate...

How about "former yeller-outerer"...

I agree, Athol Guy did virtually nothing in all his years in the Vic parliament.
I actually think Lazarus says some intelligent things when I have heard him interviewed.
The smartest of the lot of that mob, I reckon he will out last Clive.

Very good point.  Maybe if he could move away from Clive and think for himself he would be better.  He comes across as a nice guy and does not have a political nastiness about him, yet!   Kevin
