The political landscape as it stands..... The Currently heading up the Libs is Malcolm Turnbull who claims he's different from his predecessor but that's clearly not the case. With the threat of right wing of the party toppling him again he is scared into complying with their demands. Scandal after scandal has hit the party from extorting citizens through Centrelink to taking advantage of their parliamentary perks and further continuing offshore detention. Looming on the horizon is this years budget and other possible reasons for a leadership challenge. The The National Party is lead by a sun-dried tomato and is supposedly the party for people of the countryside. Being part of the Coalition they end up most of the time following Liberal lines when they ought to enriching their constituencies. This nevertheless has got some voters annoyed resulting in attempts to elect independents and other parties. The The main opposition party lead by Bill Shorten who tries to lead despite having not the best charisma. Occasionally appears in the news to deal out Zingers and other policies as well as doing his best impression of a good leader. These days the party hangs around the centre which pisses off people. The The looming threat on the horizon to both major parties. Fielding anyone crazy enough to join their party they hope to get a foothold in the state governments and federal government. Seeks to cast out everything they dislike; halal certification, ugly single mums, brown people, people who believe in global warming, and anyone with ties to the Chinese government (Sam Dastyari). There is some discontent from within about how the party operates but we're yet to see if that will result in them blowing up. The Lead by a bloke who had a photo-shoot in a turtleneck and they seek to be Australia's progressive party. These days they seem to have a mild case of the splits as they face their greatest threat from within from Left Renewal. We dunno who Left Renewal is either. The A bunch of ex-Liberals offended to be called Liberals yet have voted as liberals would vote in the senate. Native to South Australia. The Senate Crossbench A place full of scary and silly people. Parliament resumes on February 7th. Ora Tzo fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Feb 1, 2017 |

Maybe Turnbull should just buy one of those Halal Snack Packs for 1.75 million next election in front of a camera. Would be a better use of his money.
