The Coalition of the Unwilling has a new member

Australia's contribution to fighting the Iraq War was small, but now likely that it'll be a lot smaller.
Its newly elected prime minister, Kevin Rudd of the Labor Party, had campaigne on the promise that an elected Labor government would bring all Australian troops in Iraq home next year. The Land Down Under would thus becomes the latest member of the Coalition of the Unwilling.
The man he defeated, John Howard, is unlikely to retain his seat and will become the first Australian leader to be voted out of parliament since 1929. You think the Iraq War had anything to do with this?
Rudd campaigned on a fairly liberal platform, also promising to address climate change, restore workers' bargaining power, in addition to withdrawing Australian troops from Iraq.
It may not be easy. According to Bloomberg, Rudd, 50, takes control of an Australian economy that has grown for 16 years. He managed, however, to keep his spending pledges to less than Howard to convince voters he was better-equipped to keep down borrowing costs at a time when the country was facing inflation.
Rudd has said one of his first moves will be to ratify the Kyoto Protocol to counter climate change with mandatory greenhouse-gas reductions, which Howard wouldn't do.
It seems as though the Coalition of the Unwilling's newest member is willing to make commitments his predecessor wouldn't.
He's ready, willing and able, you might say.
