Big lesson here -- not unlike with Brexit -- is that you can't expect to keep taking the electorate for granted for ever.<br /><br />They're not stupid. They know when they're being told massive porkies to maintain the status quo. And they won't hesitate to punish pollies who keep doing that.

I would much rather see a few years of stalemate in Canberra than either Labor or Liberal implement their programs.<br />Turnbull should go. Had he demonstrated some leadership after taking Abbott down, he might have won back some of the Delcon demographic. But he proven himself utterly useless. He got the top job and had not a single clue about what to do with it.<br />Shorten, in the event he becomes PM, will not last a full term. Not on recent Labor form, anyhow. The man who helped bring down two leaders can hardly make a claim that the troops be loyal to him. As it stands though Labor is unlikely to win. If there was any real likelihood of that, the ABC would already be crowning Bill as our new national leader.Gregoryno6http://gregoryno6.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
