...and in the washup, the Liberals somehow, unbelievably, manage to elect MHS as the new deputy leader, the former leader beating another former leader 10-8, while the new blood was eliminated in the first round.
It's like they want to fail.

Yep, less than a week after conceding defeat, the infighting continues, and Major Bungle is deputy leader again.
Chapman's probably still out the back counting the numbers

Yes indeed she is:
"Ms Chapman in partnership with federal moderate heavyweight Christopher Pyne engineered Mr Hamilton-Smith's promotion to thwart the ambitions of factional rival Mr Evans."
As for Isabel:
.'I don't want him, but he'll do'
OPPOSITION leader Isobel Redmond has admitted she voted against today's shock move to make Martin Hamilton-Smith her deputy.
Does that bolded part give us an insight into the real Isabel?
Wait until her honeymoon is over....

Mitch Williams is hardly the sort of character that will unite the party though.

interesting choice

Pretty rich for you to be referring to anyone else as a fanboy.
Might be time to change your 'Redmond is ready' panties, and come to grips with the fact you lost.
Nope I have the ability to acknowledge flaws and faults within the Liberal party the Deputy Leader is the example of one.
Those on here blindly defending the Family First scandal for the sheer fact that the ALP orchestrated it are showing absolute partisan blindness similar to what they show for the Crows.
Politics isn't footy and I don't cheer for a side.

. But I've well and truly come to grips with the election result and have taken heart from certain resignations and the general backtreading vibe i'm getting from the issues I actually care about such as the Law and Order agenda and Adelaide Oval.

And yet, ive listed a number of ALP members i dont like more than once. Failed attempt at distinction.
Defending, or dont care?
I also dont care when Liberal parties from various states have done it to the Greens. People who blindly follow what a card tells them to do arent exercising the due care and dilligence that i feel entails the responsibility side of the voting right.
Except, your continual 'Go Liberals' posting from the last 3 months disagrees with you.
Look mate, once youve admitted a bias for or against a party, you cant go back to claiming to be independent.
If you're inferring that I lost as a resident of South Australia I'd heartily agree
Oh but wait, you're not cheering for a football side.
Thats right, pretend you won.
If Rann was satan, as you previously implied, there wouldnt be a version able to be softened to your liking. Either you were over the top then, or youve been crushed horribly now. Take your pick and let me know so i can gloat.

That was clearly hyperbole so we'll have to lock in over the top.

Ok, i can work with that.
Ooooh, Jo's an over the top hysterical screaming baby who acts in fits of upset emotion.

They surely have to find a compromise candidate.
What about someone like Lensink? In the Upper House and therefore no danger. Doesn't have to have Treasury, that can surely safely go to Lucas?

I cant help but think after what has happened the last week or so that South Australia picked the right way on election day.
The latest Liberal idea from Mitch Williams, the Steven Bradbury of SA politics is to possibly scrap water rescrictions after 1, yes one decent rainfall. Isnt this short minded thinking what got us into this problem in the first place?
How will this look when, next summer, when the river turns to a trickle and we ask for more water? I wouldnt blame them for laughing in our face.

With all due respect I see that and raise you an Adelaide Oval retraction.
Having said that. Hypothetical for you if Atko promises not to be A-G before instead of after the election what swing does the ALP get towards them?

Hard to say - could be seen as a hooray moment, giving maybe 2 or 3% back to Labor, or it could be a sign of weakness and everyone goes in for the kill, with another 2 or 3% towards Liberal. Depends how the media men set it up in the advertisements really.

Good for Hanna
Will be a good chance for the state government to display it's bully boy litigant tactics.
