What surprises me was that Abbott wasn't sacked after the 2010 election. Still, Mr. Abbott seems to be on his way to be the next PM. He might win in 2013 by the fact he is not Gillard (or at least Labor).
The right in America has regained much of its power because they weren't Obama or the Democrats. I suspect that is what's happening here.
Why would he be sacked? He took them from a double-digit deficit to a tie. Whitlam and Howard didn't win their first rodeos either.
Yeah, it's easy to forget that Abbott did a huge amount better than anyone expected him to.
Perhaps your right. I was probably thinking of the several leaders the British Tories had during the Blair-Brown era.
