The Liberal party needs to just split already. I'm serious.

Conservatives will accept no compromises in a post-trump world, and folks to their social left like Pyne, Turnbull, Bishop are going to start getting pushed out.

Of course the electorate will hammer the conservatives at the polls for focusing on their bullshit culture war and doing nothing to fix structural inequality, but that's democracy.
It won't happen, it's best to think of the moderates and conservatives as being a really old, bitter married couple who won't ever divorce, but can't stand each other.

I think the conservative faction thinks some sort of Trump like upset will happen if Dutton is PM. Aka spilling a fascist into power in order to own the Lefties

That's definitely what they think but I also think Trump is a pretty unique candidate in that no one is as shameless as him.

4 Nats have said they will sit on the crossbench if President Trumball is overturned.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Shorten is going to O'Farrell his way into leadership by just running dead against a disaster. Abbott may as well be Eddie Obeid at this point and Dutton Kristine Kenneally.

Remember a few years back when Turnbull pulled Morrison off the immigration portfolio, with the aim of setting him up as a new deputy/right hand man/successor, and then no matter how much the media tried, they couldn't overcome the fact that he's about as likeable as a wet Coles bag?

I remember something in Women's Weekly/New Idea/One of those that was a complete puff piece on Morrison and his family, buffing him up as a lovely, Christian man.

Guess who I saw on the front cover of Women's Weekly at the shops? J Bish

October Election is basically confirmed. I don't think Turnbull is the person to hopelessly wander the halls of parliament house waiting to be executed. I think he'll call an early election and try to put the leather jacket back on then ultimately fail.

I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.
Can the Liberals even afford to call an election? Didn’t Turnbull put in over $1M of his own money last time?

I'm talking about this on a discord, and I honestly think that


these guys think they've won, that they're taking back control of the liberal party from the "moderates" and they don't see that that they're utterly loving destroying their party for a generation.

They won't get any more donors, turnbull's been pulling them along on his own money, and if they kick him to the kerb he's not gonna hang about to help them.

This is not a bad thing for people watching along at home / eating popcorn - this has been the best day for me in quite some time for entertainment, but I'm still sitting here thinking "they cannot be this stupid, can they?"

It goddamn is happening.

If Team Dutton wins, the Federal coalition will fracture .

It will be back before the next election, but it will disintegrate for long enough to nuke the 45th Parliament and give labor a huge win.

If this is their gillard -> rudd moment, does that mean after this an empty suit will come out of the background, consolidate the party, change the regs to prevent the conservatives from knifing each other all the time, and then slow-and-steady his way to a 3 term desolation?

Oh wait, this happened before didn't it.
