Go, Kevin. Kevin Rudd claims he pulled off a great recovery, but Labor MPs seem strangely ungrateful: Former minister Kate Lundy yesterday joined the growing chorus of senior Labor figures urging Kevin Rudd to quit parliament... Senator Lundy said ... renewal could not happen if the former prime minister stayed on the backbench. Her view is backed by the Julia Gillard loyalists Brendan O'Connor, Laurie Ferguson and Craig Emerson, who argue Mr Rudd should retire to avoid further destabilisation of the party... Another senior Labor minister, who did not want to be named, said he wanted Mr Rudd to leave as soon as possible but would not say it publicly because the former PM would "do the opposite..." No one wants him to stay but the more we say it the more likely it is he will stay.... Last night, Mr Ferguson, the Labor MP for Werriwa in western Sydney, also delivered a stinging rebuke of Mr Rudd, telling him to get out of politics and focus on researching "Qing dynasty porcelain or something like that." Add two more: Two cabinet ministers who chose to leave Parliament altogether after his return, Stephen Smith and Greg Combet, have in recent days called on Rudd to leave the Parliament now that he is leaving the leadership. The Sydney Morning Herald has had enough, too: Rudd should go.
