Mass clean up at Liberals HQ. Good because they really need some new blood to rejuvenate.
Everyone sing along with meā¦
Will be a great bloodbath to see liberals go and labor get back in power .
I think like labor , liberal party suffers from faction splits in the main party with both hard conservatives and moderate conservatives. Thereās not much unity and I can honestly say if they loose this may then they will have a lot of soul searching to do if they expect to be taken seriously again.
Iām waiting for Dutton to piss off his comments about refugees are just inflammatory. His views only represent a small majority of Aussies (thank god) having to explain to the young refugees I work with about those comments really saddens me because itās not they would have chosen for themselves .
The fact that labor has stuck with the same leader (Shorten) says to me they have learned their hard lessons from the Rudd- Gillard - rudd debucle. But I only question Shortens like ability and whether that can carry him through and his policies in May.
I personally still think the Labor Party wouldāve become even more popular than they are now if they strategically changed their leader to someone like Albanese or Plibersek when the Liberal Party was doing better in the polls (think Late 2015/Early 2016 when Turnbull had just taken over) but at this point in the game, itās probably best to stick with Bill Shorten even though Iām not sure if heās likeable enough amongst the broader Australian public.
I agree I think one of those two would have been better to lead the labor party But if they changed leaders now it would be a bad and they loose all credit
Scomo can beat Shorten.
He just needs to lead a populist-style campaignā¦ āScomo and the Coalition teamā¦ a safe pair of handsāā¦
All political messaging needs to come from Scomo himselfā¦
(The belligerent, aggressive, petulant performance that Angus Fraser put on with Barrie this morning is a perfect example of why Scomo needs to be front and centre).
He barely has a message to identify with voters only scare mongering, about how Australia is in trouble with all these refugees .
Liberal party will pay at this election, even if they win, I can see them loosing more seats and knowing having a majority (maybe a hung parliament)
Itās a hung parliament currently isnāt it?
Only has 73 of 150 seats and 31 of 76 in the Senate.
Yes you are correct. We could be looking at that again. If Liberal wins and gets a majority, Iād be very surprised. They would have a good chance with Julie Bishop if the Libs werenāt so backward in their treatment of women in general in politics. Scomo, in my belief has no chance.
The one thing I will say is that these polls that are coming out, I donāt trust them, only because they seem to only present a number of people surveyed, and not the whole of Australia. So no one can really know which way federal election will turn out.
With the way the polls have been recently + some of the less hated Liberals such as Bishop & Pyne calling it quits, surely the Coalition is more likely to lose seats than gain new ones come Election time?
Oh I think itāll be a landslide unless Shorten manages to do a Hewson or Latham. My point was was that itās technically a hung parlicement currently.
No.
The Liberals canāt survive as a liberal party.
They lost 17 seats at the last election with a liberal as their leader.
The fewer liberals in the party the better.
John Howard showed that being conservative is the way to goā¦ and Scomo realises that and embraces it.
Hot takes donāt come hotter. Or dumber. Or incorrect-er.
In fact I think this is probably MediaSpyās hottest take ever.
Yeah Jon Howard is the way to goā¦by losing his own seat!
IMO you are in for a very big disappointment come May.
Countdown to the impending doom of the Liberal Party thread anyone?
Scomo can beat Shorten.
He just needs to lead a populist-style campaignā¦ āScomo and the Coalition teamā¦ a safe pair of handsāā¦
All political messaging needs to come from Scomo himselfā¦
(The belligerent, aggressive, petulant performance that Angus Fraser put on with Barrie this morning is a perfect example of why Scomo needs to be front and centre).
No and no. That slogan ā¦ god no.
People see āScomoā for what he is - a Hillsongesque Trump wannabe.
It just aināt gonna happen my friend.
A good chance with Julie Bishop?? Sheās retired from politics now. And good riddance.
Just itās a pity they are some of the betters ones that are quitting leaving the ones that really should quit.
