Windsor’s confused

TONY Abbott has declared independents Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott are effectively Labor MPs as they refuse to contemplate supporting a no-confidence motion against the government. The Opposition Leader challenged Mr Windsor and Mr Oakeshott to state publicly whether they still supported Julia Gillard after the Labor Party’s week of leadership turmoil. Windsor replies;

“The question really is would I support a no-confidence motion on the basis of someone aspiring to leadership to a political party – the answer is no,” Mr Windsor said

It has nothing to do with Tony’s leadership. That is well and truly established but it has everything to do with the stability of the government. One of the reasons Windsor backed Gillard was to ensure “stable government” and that is definitely no longer the case – if it ever was. The fact that Windsor ignores the question indicates he is just looking after himself because he knows that if a no-confidence motion gets through he will lose his seat. Greed – the ultimate motivation.
