Not taking over the leadership, I am talking if a candidate changes from Labor to Liberal, or Liberal to Independent. They were voted in as a Party candidate, then defected and people hate that. Like Rob Oakeshot - where is he now? Wilkie?Electoral death.
So when Paul Keating took over from Hawke, did he lose the next election?
I now forget exactly who it was defected from Liberal to be one of the independents???
She did NOT win that election, she simply managed to shore up the votes of the independents enough to secure government. That is not an election win.When Gillard took over from Rudd, did she lose the next election?
Absolutely, I said it in here that Donald Duck would have won that election over Rudd.Frankly, Anyone could have beaten Rudd after that debacle
