Merged Australian Prime minister steps down.

[Damien Evans]

Yes I know that's strictly correct, but Rudd said "When people elected me as PM" and Gillard said "I'm aware that I have not been elected as PM". It is a presidential style election in almost every way, except technically. Ask someone who they will vote for and 9 out of 10 (at least) will say either Gillard or Abbott.

It's not (or at least shouldn't be) our problem that people are ignorant of the system and politicians pander to that ignorance.

Kevin Rudd finds out the unions and Gillard are about to rat-◊◊◊◊ him.
