Can anyone tell me why people now hate Kevin Rudd?

Yes, he reminds me of Tim Brooke-Taylor (google if you don't know who I'm talking about).
Yes the "fair shake of the sauce bottle" thing was incredibly try-hard.
But, wasn't he the head of a whole entire party? Didn't they & even the opposition have to reach some sort of accord to enact legislation? Didn't Australia manage to miss the worst of the Global Financial Crisis? Did he personally screw up the insulation? I'm pretty sure that one was a group effort.
I just don't get why people think changing the person at the top of the pile will change the entire party's policies or the whole country somehow.

Unfortunately people don't vote for political parties, just the visible manifestation; the figurehead. It's completely subjective - If they are perceived as looking strange or talking differently ie hair or dress our strong human instinct is always to dismiss them. For mine, using this as a reference, I can't vote for any of them. How could you vote for Johnny Appleseed, Norelle Hayseed or Bob Browneye (Boris Karloff reincarnate)?
