Until about a week ago, I subscribed to the theory that T-dizzle was put up as a "dummy leader" - the libs thought they'd lose, so they sacrificed this idiot, and whoever became leader of the party afterward would look awesome by comparison.

But now it seems like people might seriously be considering him as a potential PM. If that happens, I'm leaving the country.

YouTube - Tony Abbott There are Muslims then there are muslims.
Under Abbott the Liberal Party has been criticised as a policy-free zone... for now.
Refering to this statement and the video, discuss why Tony Abbott should/nt be voted in.

EDIT : It's obvious what my view is - but I'm interested to see yours.

What a ridiculous criticism. Tony Abbott shouldn't be prime minister because he is a right wing, xenophobic, homophobic, climate sceptic free market loving, bible bashing toff from Manly but his performance as leader of the opposition has been fine. Not brilliant, he's done some dumb stuff: All the speedo stuff, talking about his sex life, the whole health argument and the opposition to the CPRS but lets not forget Kevin Rudd's leadership involved scandals about doing dodgy deals with corrupt premiers, being caught out on interest rates and calling the incumbent prime minister a threat to national security.

But the other major parallel between Rudd(and Beazley and Howard) is that all of them campaigned on small target strategies as well. I remember David Marr heckling Rudd's election campaign with "Who needs a right wing when you have a consensus?" It was called the me too campaign, attempts to merely check the governments every move and wait for an unpopular one to deviate from. Even then most of the actual policy came out in the two months before election day not before. Small target campaigning is sensible, it's what delivers changes of government in Australia so if your going to heckle Abbott, make it for something he's doing wrong.

In a lecture the other day, some douchebag behind me said "That's why I love Tony Abbot so much, his maternity leave scheme would cut abortion rates by 90%".
It saddens me that people like this are voting.

If I recall BOS Negro, the equivalent of an Indigenous Aboriginal for the US would be an Indian. What you did was vote in a member of a previously heavily discriminated and, effectively, forced immigrant minority group. The equivalent for us would be an Asian I think.

reasoning like that is common among voters.

you get things like this policy will have a A+B-D = E effect

people only care about E they don't give a shit about the affects that it will have on A,B or D.

the majority of the masses will vote for what sounds good not what works

[Phoenix Fury]

Either of them would be equally as horrible I reckon.
Both should quit or die so perhaps one party can have a half decent leader.
