A Senior Labor MP speaks the truth.
Other reasons were also cited. One senior MP said the deluge of votes away from Labor to the Greens reflected a lack of fortitude on policy, especially climate change.
He said Ms Gillard has proved to be just as weak and focus-poll driven as Kevin Rudd on the subject, exacerbating the negative perception of Labor.
”We were running against a bloke who believes climate change is crap and people who believe in climate change weren’t voting for us because they thought we were the same.”
He’s right, climate change is crap and the people who believe in climate change think Labor is crap too.
