It will not be long before Gillard as the Prime Ministership

Comments on Peter van Onselen “Julia needs to act to save the party”, 22/06/2010, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/julia-needs-to-act-to-save-the-party/story-e6frg6zo-1225882500751
While the best thing for ALP is for Gillard to be the leader as early as possible, the best thing for Gillard is for Rudd to step aside voluntarily.

However, Rudd is probably very unlikely to do that just yet.

So it is up for the ALP national machinery and other senior ministers to do some necessary background work to persuade Rudd to take that step. Rudd is very intelligent and may decide to do that when he is convinced that he will not be able to win the next election.

It will hurt personally for Rudd, but he may realise that is the least bad outcome under the current circumstances. It will pave way for a better prospect for his future career.

It is likely that a change in the ALP leadership if the bad pooling continues. Once the leadership changes, the election will follow soon assuming the voters will give Gillard a honeymoon period and enough goodwill for her to win the next election.
