Why everybody hates Albo

Everybody hates Albo:

Labor’s primary vote has dropped to 33 per cent ahead of Saturday’s critical Dunkley by-election, with Anthony Albanese’s approval ratings remaining in negative territory despite the government retaining its lead over the Coalition on preferences.

An exclusive Newspoll conducted for The Australian shows a one-point fall in support for Labor since the previous poll amid the government’s campaign to boost its political stocks through its revamped tax cuts.

The Coalition’s primary vote remains unchanged at 36 per cent. Labor has maintained its 52-48 per cent lead on a two-party preferred basis.

In short, this sad sack of a PM can hardly get a personal lead over Peter Dutton, a brainless bollard scraped from the very bottom of the LNP barrel.

Why? After the shock of COVID and ScoMo, all Albo could think to do was to be an LNP mini-me.

Craving power, not leadership, he has ceaselessly crawled to corporations while ignoring the needs of households, delivering massive monopoly profits while slaughtering living standards. Then lying about it all day.

Albo hate is righteous.
