they very rarely do succeed first up. do a healthcheck in 18 months time and i think we'll find that the party will be jostling to replace its leader.

He's an uncharismatic conservative blob who's going to be left for dead in the wake of the ALP's relatively progressive social policies (not that they're all that progressive).
I thought the same about Beazley last time, but the ALP knew what they were doing.

Doubt Nelson will lead the party to the next election, at least not without one or two leadership stoushes along the way.

i did ask if we were close to getting him and he said yes but he could say that anyway just to annoy me or shut me up much like the ken sheldon 1979 out of bounds incident. he didn't look like he was lying, who's to say.

The ALICE chat robot can follow many things, like our discussion about going to look a treat. Try being more or less specific. My brain pattern set does not have a response for that.
