Plus Rudd's leadership style aggravated many in the caucus, because he did not lead like a Labor Party leader should (in their opinion). Any excuse how many weak, was enough for those caucus members aggravated by Rudd to topple him.Make no mistake, it was merely four faction leaders with the support of union heavyweight Paul Howes who rolled Rudd. The factional nature of the ALP is what makes the party so volatile.
Rudd was a dysfunctional prime minister. He's also a thoroughly horrible person.
