Liberal Burblings

One of the Independents giving Julia Gillard power by just two votes is Tony Windsor. How’s this for an extraordinary explanation for backing Gillard from Windsor?:

…one of the reasons Mr Windsor gave for backing Labor is that Ms Gillard, reluctant to hold another quick election in case she lost, would be more desperate to try to make her fragile minority government work.

Mr Windsor believes that if there had been another election, voters would have elected Mr Abbott as prime minster – but his vote has denied them that opportunity

That really gives the whole Gillard enterprise enormous democratic credibility doesn’t it?
