The rebound Nelson
Is it just me or does everyone think Brendan Nelson has proved he has no political judgment?
The latest Newspoll has put Brendan Nelson’s public approval at just 7 per cent, a record low apparently.
I’m not sure if that’s because Australia doesn’t like Brendan, specifically, or we just think the Libs are on the nose in general.
The reason I think Brendan Nelson has no political judgment is the fact he ever fought to replace
John Howard in the first place. I’ve always thought the first person in the top job after an election loss is like the re-bound lover - doomed from the start.
You know when a friend comes out of a bad marriage? They always jump into a new romance and everyone just rolls their eyes and starts the clock. Well, it’s like that.
Strangely though, I think the one thing Brendan Nelson’s leadership has got going for it is how terrible his polling is. Right now, at 7 per cent, that leadership chair is all his - not a challenger in sight.
