The New Prime Minister

There's quite a bit of blogging buzz about Australia's new prime minister.

OK, OK. I get it, she's a chick. Whoo-hoo.

Problem is, she wasn't elected by me. Did you vote for her?

I'm not convinced that Rudd was doing a great job. However, that should have been sorted out at the next election.
I feel that my democratic rights have been impinged.
A few elite politicians shouldnt be able to make massive decisions about our country's leadership.
That's what is so worrying about this.

Does anyone else feel this isn't democratic?

Does anyone else feel that it's not really fair for the Labor Caucus to suddenly try to replace our prime minister?

It's basically an impeachment.
Has he done anything wrong? Illegal?

How can a few people decide for the entire country, without a vote?

Can't they just wait until the election, to change the party's leader?

Julia Gillard wasn't voted for by me nor anyone else.

I protest.

It's an incredibly bad time for the nation to have leadership changes. The last thing Australia needs is political instability to add to economic instability.

If caucus votes Kevin Rudd out, can an election be forced by the opposition?
