Howard is an arrogant person who thinks he can do as he will. It is "my way" or no way, sums up his attitude. This attitude has also cost his Party any chance to win the elections. Hopefully the dotard will lose his seat and disappear into the world of mediocrity from which he crawled.
He has successfully set Australia back with his '50's style government.
Worse though is the fact that Labour are sadly lacking leadership that shows little understanding of the needs of the people. Just a pair of egotists who had to go into politics because they couldn't make it in the real world.
