Support for PM's partners slumps in Newspoll as Windsor and Oakeshott defy voters



A POPULAR revolt against Julia Gillard's carbon tax has produced a calamitous drop in support for the two key NSW rural independents underpinning her minority government.

An exclusive Newspoll for The Australian shows both Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott would lose their seats if an election were held now and that 70 per cent of voters in their electorates are opposed to Labor's clean-energy bills, which are set to pass the Senate next month.

Time for the Independents to represent their electorates, when it's clear, the fundamental conflict between representing a political party and representing an electorate has proven to be a deliberated betrayal of the pubic trust.

An abuse of power is always a betrayal of the public trust and is seldom tolerated in a mature democracy.

No one ever really supported Australia's First Bozo anyway.
As for the Indies, they are like the GALP, walking-dead pollies.

Bring on the election!
