Ben, perhaps you are being a tad optimistic, for I doubt Ms Abbott will win much support within the LP, let alone win supporters from outside. As to the working class, I doubt she is even on the agenda of most workers, which just about says it all about her and the leadership poll, I really can see no point in touting her about, if she had a hope in hells chance of winning she would not have been placed on the leadership list in the first place. Believe it or not who pays the piper get to choose the tune. Aha,
