Don't you love politicians?
The NSW Government is floundering trying to find some traction to avoid being voted out of office at the next election in March 2011 and the latest gossip is that Health Minister John Della Bosca will mount a challenge to oust Premier Nathan Rees.
Both are furiously resisting the allegations with a burst of politician speak and they faced the media today to refute the gossip. Through bared teeth they described their relationship as 'friendly and cordial'. Out of the mouths of these politicians those words sounded like death threats.
Ironically, the best chance of the Government retaining office remains the fact that as detested as it is by the constituency, the opposition continues to be even less appealing.
It does often seem to be a choice between bad and worse. Then, like in the US now, you get someone that actually talks intelligently, gets things going and done, and the opposition goes full bore to tear him down and destroy his chances to improve things.
ReplyDeleteI admit, I supported the opposition to GWBush, but so did a vast majority of my countrymen. The current situation is all about a very vocal, yet increasingly shrinking, minority. And they're armed.
The older I get the more and more disgusted I become. I suppose that's to be expected!
Not a flattering photo. They both look like the real old style Labor heavyweights. I will forecast a low voter turnout, a high informal vote and a high Green and Independant vote.
