The fall and fall of Queensland Labor

[pink]

7. If I was Anna Bligh

I would do the same thing. She has worked very hard for Queensland and if she had stayed on, it would have taken the focus of the new Opposition Leader. It gives the party a minute chance to renew itself. She's tired and they need someone like Andrew Fraser or someone else with the potential to drag the party out of the doldrums.

Its a gamble to have a bi-election almost immediately, but I think the seat will be won for Labor with a better margin. When the people of Qld see what they have done (re the election result) I think more thought will be put into their next vote. But there again we're talking about Queenslanders, aren't we.

If Labor only has 7 seats now, whats one seat less.

Politics will be very interesting now. We thought Labor was the big loser, but its not. Its the people of Queensland.
