shits going down in australia tonight.
Kevin Rudd was a popular but polarizing leader of the austrlaian labour party, taking them to a landslide victory over 11 years of conservative rule.
After 2 years as the PM his aggressive leadership tactics and his "my fucking way" approach to leadership alienated enough of the party to have his rule cut short by his deputy Julia Gillard.
She in turn with clumsy campaigning and being in a position to have to employ Kevin into her cabinet as prime minister due to his charismatic and popular charm blundered through and election campaign plagued by leaks and managed to form a Hung parliment.
This forced her to cut deals with minority party's and independents to form government.
Australia has basically been forced into 4 years of constant campaigning thanks to a hung parliament and in no small part by the conservative party leader Tony Abbot.
This has left australia completely disengaged from any political debate at all and lead to calls for Kevin Rudd to resume control back from Julia Gillard to save the flailing party from collapse in the next election.
He lost the first challenge and resigned from being a minister of foreign affairs but has returned under fire from his own party to reclaim the leadership of the party.
Julia Gillard has already declared that if she lost she'd resign from politics all together.
Crazy shit to have a guy ousted and gutted by his own party come back and control the nation once again.
