Unlike the US, we Australians have to wait for the PM, usually, to go to the Governor General to close Parliament and call a Federal Election. So we are now expecting an election whilst John Howard MP, PM , conducts discussions about hanging on to power which he apparently wishes to continue, yet the Government members are seeking a definitive decision on the election soon rather than later, and the opinion polls point to continuing disenchantment with the Government to the extent a Labour win if an election was held now would be a landslide, with them occupying the opposition benches a shadow of their former glory.
This could have been predicted and we will be hearing the succession and when arguments until it happens. I can’t see any change in the opinion polls soon in favour of the Government, but you never know.
