When a party faces the big fall of electoral grace from holding the treasury benches to the desolation and wilderness of opposition its hardly surprising that old lags who don’t have the stomach for another bid will resign before the fateful poll that they know will end the careers of so many of their fellows. We saw a whole slew of Queensland Labor members announce that they would not be re-contesting before Labor suffered the Blight of Anna. Which leads me to the point of this post which is to wonder how many Labor Lags will follow Martin’s lead and step aside before the poll? To be frank it is a horrible task to campaign when the voters are so disgusted with Labor. So I also wonder if Labor will even be able to get candidates for every seat this time…
The ship is sinking and the rats are putting on their life jackets…

Overkill, Iain. Careful what you wish for.
