He has a genuine reason for doing that though, being that he's going to lose his seat to the Greens at the next election if the Libs preference the Greens over the ALP.

Anidav posted:I used to really like Albo but recently he's been coming out swinging against The Greens by saying they're cavemen who hate airports. Now I'm kinda neutral; on one hand he fights Tories, on the other hand he fights for the ALP Platform. He fights Tories, until it's politically expedient to stitch up deals between them and the Marrickville and Leichhardt Labor Councillors. He's nothing but bluster and sweat, gently caress him.

Things have changed, and the ALP haven't changed with them.

So is this ballot like choosing a new pope? They hotbox the party room and when someone opens a window and the smoke pours out we know a new leader is chosen?

If he were leader I'd of probably have been in the ALP for a few more months but I don't think any policy difference would happen between Shorten or Albo, it's just a face realistically. It would have given me short term hope but reading Albo's panic blogs on News Ltd. makes me think far less of him than what he sounded like in 2013/Ballot era.

Even symbolic victories can make a difference. He's just starting to sound like the rest of the ALP Left at this point, terrified as poo poo - which may not have happened if he'd taken over leader.

I don't think it was possible though because Bill already had a deal locked up in the Caucus using Tanya Plibersek as left bait.

I mean even the ALP have FNQ bug eyed libertarians who crawl down to a party room every so often to talk about Ron Paul, in fact one of the former Young Labor leaders; Mitchell Watt specifically flew to America in the previous election to sign hold for Ron Paul.

I live in regional QLD and with the exception of one literal filthy hippie, every Greens supporter I have met up here is pretty much a sensible normal person.
