Julie I'll back whoever wins Bishop is as bad a Cash.

Gives a whole bunch of money to foreign aid (forgetting about our own backyard) because its important to her.
Her words!
Self interest much?

Call a general election now and save us all the media bollocks.

Its the government that is unpopular because their policies are so out of touch with reality.
It wouldn't matter if Simpsons donkey was leading them.

This isn't about leadership its about government ministers/faction coming up with crap unpopular policy.

It really concerns me that these politicians can change their allegiances so dramatically in a couple of days.

In my world that suggests people are making decisions on more than just policy or leadership.

When will politicians get back to making the best decision for us, not their careers.

The system is seriously flawed imo

I guess the writing was on the wall when snake Morrison put his arm around him and gave him his support.
24 hours later complete backflip.

Embarrassing bunch of turncoats that can't be trusted!

Like the prez coming out saying the coach has full support Turnbull is toast.

But the way they are going they will get smashed

With all this gone on, could the next election see the rise of the right winger political parties.

potentially I think thats a good idea - providing the right of the liberal splits off to form their own party, instead of the whole political landscape moving to the right

Bishop presents a problem for Dutton that I'm not sure was anticipated.

Also if Dutton wants his party room meeting he needs to do more than beat his chest. 43 signatures, get it done. Otherwise
call back parliament and get some bloody work done.

Smashed is certainly the word for the next election.

well yep, but the right don't want to divide their power and become more like the lab/greens. understandably really, but if it mean that each party had a stronger sense of purpose I think that could be a good thing. and we could more easily call out the loonies both on left and right and the libs could move closer to the centre without trying to appease the right of their party all the time

Yeah it was on point and I don't like him at all.

I think most people would share his opinion at the moment. As I can't see anyone thinking this is good at the moment.
