>Abbott was the only nominee for the presidency after the other contender – former foreign minister Alexander Downer – chose to instead run for one of the vice-president’s positions.
Sums up the state of the party at the moment – no one want’s to take the blame for the sinking ship

Let’s recap: Abbott didn’t last two years as PM. He was so unpopular that he lost the leadership to Malcolm Turnbull (a moderate and former leader) and then lost his safe parliamentary seat to an independent. But for whatever godforsaken reason, the Libs think this is the man to lead the party out of the political doldrums?
They’re screwed.

Very hard to see how the Libs find their way out of the wilderness now.

This is the political equivalent of an ill dog returning to its own poisonous vomit.
RIP Federal Liberal party, with most of the state parties already one for in the grave.
