Rudd's days as PM numbered

Comments on Peter van Onselen “PM on verge of becoming a drag on Labor vote”, 17/03/2010, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/pm-on-verge-of-becoming-a-drag-on-labor-vote/story-e6frg6zo-1225841584447

A winning strategy not just for the next election but also for the ALP as a whole is to change horse as early as possible from now.

It will give the government a real chance to change its policy approaches and improve its delivery of policies and do them properly.

Rudd cannot be expected to change overnight and there is not much time left before the election for him to turn around.

Even as he will undoubtedly try very hard, the public have just got too sceptical and cynical about his spins and no actions and will take any changes negatively. Further, there is way too much work left undone and it is virtually impossible to get things in a reasonable order under Rudd to convince the voters.

The recently announced health reform reflects this. It lacks the minimum required home work by the government with the full government machinery including the public services.

If Rudd has the political courage, he should have the decency to transfer the Prime Ministership to his deputy now to halt Abbott's advance and the government's decline.

Failing to do so, it is very likely that he will be forced out soon.
