Now, I'm not a supporter of either of the major parties but it certainly makes me feel sorry for not only Kevin Rudd, but also Australia. It goes to show that democracy is just a show in Australia. It's the people who run the labour party who really run the country. Now they've just put in another stooge to do their bidding. Now I guess we'll just have to find out what happens in the election later in the year. Not that who we vote will Necessary be the prime minister. It will at least give a chance to send a message. The vote in Australia, I now believe is nothing more. It is now worth a lot less.

There is NO democracy in Australia!
Kevin Rudd is no longer Prime Minister after only two and a half years. It was an unexpected turn of events. Kevin Rudd was removed as prime minister by the Labour party. At the moment I'm just watching an interview with Julia Gillard. She says that it was a hard thing to do and how she did it for the country. It just makes me think, what a load of crap. Apparently Kevin Rudd when and spoke to Julia last night where he questioned her loyalty. She seems to have just proved that she doesn't have any loyalty. Her saying that she did it for the country is just false. She saw that she had the support from the people who run the Labour party (and probably also run the government), and took it. She wanted the top job and was able to use the past few months as a good excuse. Kevin Rudd wasn't even given the chance to see if he could win the next election. That is probably the worst thing about it. The people don't get to say who's leading their country, it's the Labour party. We didn't vote for Julia Gillard as PM. The fact that she keeps saying that it was in the national interests to take over in my opinion, makes it sound even more like an excuse. She saw an opportunity and took it, the anti-government adverts of the mining companies may have helped with the bad poles for Kevin Rudd. Does this mean that the mining companies are going to win? It certainly looks like they have benefited. Julia Gillard said that she is opening the doors of the government to the mining industry. Is that literally what she means? They have won? The proposed tax as it stands is no more. So it certainly looks like they aren't sad to see Kevin Rudd go.

Although you know where opinions lie; it was heartbreaking to have seen K Rudd on national TV at breaking point. Seeing all his staffers in tears made me even think that the media's portrayal of Prime Minister as an evil villain was falsely accused.
Julia Gillard assumption and her claim that she did it in the best national interest was I guess verified by the sudden surge of ALP support but she terribly deemed that she spoke for the nation. I am an avid fan of democracy ( Although you may still think I do not solve situations peacefully enough) and despite all the recently publicities I still would have like K Rudd to run against Budgie Smuggler. This is what democracy is and democracy should be about that the people speak not caucus meeting of some bureaucratic party stuck in medieval times.
I say Julia what goes around cometh around and don't cry foul when it is your head that falls
If Kevin Rudd backed down from the mining tax to stop the adverse advertising and actually followed through on what he said would have also had a big difference on the party's popularity. It's just easier to get rid of him even if the policies are very similar. It's the fact that they didn't even give him a chance to see if he could win, they just saw that they were down in the pols and took the easy option.
Better that Kevin was deposed in so quickly a manner than to suffer a political death of a thousand cuts. The only thing that Kevin would really fight for is a good seat in the best restaurant. His reluctance to call an election when he was unable to get his ETS through Parliament, was the beginning of the end for him.
