The Wentworth federal by-election

[Showbags]

Well she's also something of a hypocrite on that score given her apparent love of expense perks.

Wrong, clearly no hypocrisy from Bronnie. They are actually called "earned benefits" if a conservative politician is using them.

Is that you chris ?...

I can’t stand the campaigner!

It is stating the obvious that the Libs shouldn’t have sunk Turdbull. However, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realise that Turdbull was leading the Libs down the same failed path as Labor when he knifed Abbott.

And Abbott would have led them back into opposition in 2016 if Turnbull didn't step in to clean up the mess. Abbott was and is despised by the electorate. Get that through your head Lebs.

 

[Maggie5]

Good place to start...

 

[Lebbo73]

17.5% swing away from the ALP versus an approximately 23% swing away from the LNP.

And Labor are counting this as a win!

It’s going to be interesting watching Labor win the next election with a primary vote of 36% across the nation.

 

[NSWCROW]

I know. We should go for higher taxes and increased welfare. That would ensure that the country goes belly up within the next decade!

I understand you're angry , it's just misdirected in this instance.

The delcons could've ****ed off with bernardi but noooooo , they wanted the cot AND the toys didn't they ?!
Malcolm told 'em...he *en TOLD 'em he'd do it , and what'd they do ??

He'd started to turn the polling and they shat their dacks.

He fell over the line after having a 10% point lead 7 months before the election.

I think you misread my post.

I was comparing the swing against the ALP in the 1975 by-election in Bass to the swing against the LNP in the 2018 by-election in Wentworth.

 

[Mningasimisonda]

You’re taking the side of the rich? It’s rich people in Wentworth who wants to see your everyday expenses skyrocket!

Pay me 10000 more a year and give me opportunities to thrive and I'll happily pay a bit more for my power bill. Simples.

I said they shouldn’t have knifed Turdbull. You don’t sack PM’s. That is our job. Once Turdbull knifed Abbott, we all knew what was going too happen.

Abbott was polling at 45-55 TPP.

The polls immediately turned around once Turnbull knifed Abort.

You'd have to be pretty dense or at least delusional if you can't put 2 and 2 together.

 

[Hawk Dork]

Speers reckons we'll all be voting sooner rather than later.

I dont think its convenient
Vic election coming up
The earliest would be to try and go before the NSW state election but it would need to be called late Jan.
Dont know if that would be to the Libs advantage state or fed.
They need to try and hang on and look normal which is going to get harder and harder.
The worse it looks the worse its going to get.
Just wait for the leaks to start from the pissed off moderates
Then a bit of chaos when the Mad Hatter takes a day off

With the redistributions they are already about half a dozen seats down

And he would have lost the 2016 election if he waited any longer to call it.

 

[its free real estate]

he nearly lost it last time Malcolm saved him with some more money and a robocall in the final weeks

he would be gone real easy this time

Nah. From the article:

• Labor was on track to potentially take 57 per cent of two-party preferred vote

Not in a billion years.

Back in your box troll.

Exponential population growth doesn't cause environmental problems?

Shifting someone from one place on the earth to another isnt growth

Lol. You do realise climate change is a global issue and migration means people moving rather than an increase in the world's population?

So Scott Morrison now has to lead a minority government. If it wasn’t so serious it would be hilarious.

Julia Gillard’s minority government passed over 160 pieces of legislation. Just sayin.

 

[Showbags]

Maybe, but he didn't and won.

Abbott would have lost ANYTIME he called it.

 

[DaRick]

Yeah he should have called a snap election after winning the leadership spill in order to capitalise fully on his personal popularity.

It will be as painful as ever.

Despite the Liberals losing one of their safest seats to a climate change activist, they'll still be advocating for a Trumpian lurch further to the right while blaming leftists "mobs" and Turnbull for Wentworth.

If the Liberals had any balls (or brains) they'd be calling out & ignoring these fools who as much as anyone are responsible for this loss.

Keep it up I say. The more conservatives morph into regressives, the more the Australian electorate will reject them.

I know you will not believe this, but if Malcolm was allowed to run his preferred policy position - moderate action on climate change, support SSM without the ideological war, generally just take a right of centre position on everything then the Libs would be in charge for a very long time.

But it was not enough for the right. They always want more. And they are completely blind to the fact Australians as a whole do not want more.

Turnbull was the only chance the libs had and they killed him.

This will all be proven at the next general election if it wasn’t today.

And if Shortan plays his cards right he will shift he labor party a little to the right and Libs will continue to be a bunch of unelectable nut jobs for ever more.
