– There would be no talk of a leadership spill before it happened.
– The entire spill and speculation would happen via email.
– There would be no face to face discussion about it. Ever.
– The Australian people wouldn’t know what happened until Julia and Kevin refuse to attend the same event.
– Someone will be left standing on their soapbox screeching about “the good of the community” and how “they’re TEARING US APART”.
– Support will be silently given and received.
– Any information made public will have an overtone of “we know what’s best for everyone, so follow along and don’t worry about a thing”.
– The second-in-command will let the power go to their head, and end up trying to micro-manage the ensuing conversation.
– Everyone else will be entirely confused about what is happening, but they will all agree that it was a terrible terrible thing and please can’t we just move on.
AND
– At the end of the day, you will be left with split factions, who seem to think that they control some sort of power.

ROFL ain’t that the truth.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Best thing I’ve read all day!
Thanks for the laugh!! Xx
I am totally confused about what is happening on all counts…
I am not sure that this is so dissimilar to the way the ALP is behaving, to be completely honest … Barring the media spotlight part, naturally 🙂
Maybe there is a lesson here about group behaviour generally, and interest or power based groups more specifically. Something like Sod’s Law of Cliques: If it is possible for a conflict to occur, it WILL occur, and with maximum collateral damage. Accompanied by the ever-reliable Law of Timeframes: Any conflict that is going to arise will do so at the least salubrious time available, thus causing the most possible angst to the greatest number of people.
Haha! Yes!
Haha! I imagine there would be some unfollow-and-block-ing too 😉
Now I’m wondering if I’ve missed something… DM me! 😉 *ducks*
Nope, you’ve not missed anything, except messy Aussie politics 🙂
Love it. Bloggers do seem to hold a lot of elections in a year don’t you think? Vote for me! Vote for me!
I laughed, although I don’t have much to do with mummy-blogging, because I recently read through the history of some fandom wank that went down 2002/2003 in the harry potter fanfiction world (yeah, you read that right, I’m THAT cool) and it’s pretty much the same thing. I think all internet wankery is much the same, no matter what flag you’re flying under.
*pained expression* Can’t we *all* *just* *get* *along*?!
