Napoleon Bonaparte once observed, ‘never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake’.

Politics can be defined as war conducted by other means.  Bonaparte’s dictum applies to politics too.

After two years in the poll position, Labor’s Bill Shorten is making mistakes aplenty.  Ever since he declared there’s nothing to see here in regard to Labor MP’s citizenship, Shorten’s looked less like a PM in waiting and more like a bumbling Mr Bean.
