Its pretty clear the likes or Sussan Ley, Andrew Hastie or earlier Malcolm Turnbull and Tony Abbott have genuinely nothing in common ideologically. Their relation was tentable when they held power, but is now completely fractured, and the liberal national ideological divide is even greater than that.
The liberals are polling at their lowest point ever, have no chance of regaining power in the foreseeable future, and the national party are being a genuine cancer on them in their (pathetic) attempts to reconnect with mainstream Australia. They dont have a leader like Howard or Morrison at the beginning of his leadership who could force the Nationals to get on-board, I think if they want to have any chance of regaining relevance they need to dump the coalition and try and reclaim those inner city teal seats which theyve neglected for the past 15 years, because the current method of appeasing the nationals and liberal right is clearly not working in those seats.

I have no love for either the liberals or the nationals but they need to get their shit together and provide a viable alternative to Labor for voters. Without the coalition in that position, we’re left with One Nation and amplifying their voice just drags the whole country to the far right and fosters division.
Let’s learn from what’s happening across the Pacific.

They just love the drrrrrrrama don’t they. It’s one way of keeping them in the news cycle.

The Nats pair themselves up with One Nation surely? Probably a lot of common (rotten) ground

Who would’ve thought you could do worse than ScoMo.
But then we have Dutton whiff on the election (why he didn’t actually just focus on immigration escapes me) and now we have the numerologist Ley who seems completely clueless.

So when is the media going to stop calling them the Opposition?

Sacking three from the Opposition front bench is not a good look, particularly for opposing what is widely recognised as a poorly written and rushed Labor legislation. It gets worse when reading that several Liberals failed to even turn up and vote at all.
Shambles. Both One Nation and Labor are laughing there heads off. As housing, immigration, cost of living, and energy all impact more and more voters, the fear is that this opens up an opportunity for a far right to emerge. Note to Lefties – One Nation are soft pussies compared to real hard right, they are as rabid as the hard left which we do have.

And on the day they were hoping to wedge Labor. The LNP wedges themselves.
