Gillard will be a good prime minister

News broke out that the ALP federal caucus are have a spill and vote for the leadership tomorrow morning. Rudd has called a press conference on that. He said that Gillard asked for a leadership spill and he has called one for that.

The federal government under the Rudd prime ministership has been in a very difficulty position over the past months, starting insulation problems but becoming more pronounced from Rudd's ETS backflip. The RSPT has manifested the difficulties further and the polls show the government has lost the public's trust.

Gillard has been extremely loyal to Rudd. I have argued that it is best for the Labor party if Gillard takes the leadership and it is best for Rudd to step aside for that to happen. It seems Rudd is not going to give up his prime ministership voluntarily and is likely to be forced out.

Should Gillard win the leadership ballot, she will be a very good prime minister for Australia, judged from her performance as the deputy prime minister over the past two and half years. She is competent and confident.
