I'm not going to expand much on this, though this is a very naive view of 
both the electorate
and the Labor Party. Pete has much to learn about the real workings of the 
party and I really
don't believe the leader gig is even on his mind seriously. Anyway Latham 
will prove why he
should be PM over the next three years and the Australians will come to 
realise what has really happened to their social and economic welfare in 
this term also.
