Joe, cheers I bevliee Rudd ultimately proved to be not suitable for PM because he made the wrong call about something very important to the future of the nation. That is, there is an actual demonstrated case of Rudd's unsuitability, based on fact, based on his observed behaviours, in office (much as I wish it weren't so) and, from the horse's mouth, Rudd himself admits as much.Whereas .but he seems somehow brittle and unstable. Sorry? Do you get that from his consistently calm demeanour under questioning, or his articulate and forthright admissions of failure, or his cheery bonhomie on every darn public appearance??Srsly, if we have to write political obituaries for Kevin Rudd, would it be too much to ask that they are based on things that actually happened, rather that what seems ? David Marr has a lot to answer for!But back directly OT I think voters do get browned off by leadership spills in office. The fact that PM is not a directly-elected position is irrelevant modern campaigning is relentlessly Presidential and voters want the leader they voted for Keating won exactly one election after nicking the leadership from Hawke, and golly he was lucky to get away with that. Whereas Gillard hasn't even managed to win one, and she is no Paul Keating
