Next Liberal leader - 2025

[Rotayjay]

It's like that bullshit committee at work that needs a member but no one wants to join.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Why bother with the charade that there is separation between the Liberals and the Nationals? Just become the LNP of Australia and put one of the country party yokels in charge.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

What’s the point of being deputy leader if you don’t automatically assume the leadership if the leader is gone?

Julie Bishop says hold my beer.

 

[krakouers]

No one who wants to be challenging Albo in 3 years will want the job right now.

My money is still on Ley or Taylor for the next 18 months with Hastie replacing either one to get a clear runway at the 2028 election.

• you are a more minor member of the party, and want to grow your brand, the Zak Kirkup effect.. Best (best mind you, not most likely) more people know you, you actually provide a viable alternative and (somehow) keep the RWNJ/extreme elements in check - Least likely to happen though and you are more tainted with a brush.. but hey, your name is out there, see Zak Kirkup
• You are entering your final stretch as a parliamentarian, ending as a "former opposition leader" gives you the ability to ask BHP for an extra 150K and a river/ocean view
• You really want the job, this is your only real time as any challenges are going to happen closer to the next election with better candidates and you can actually spend time reducing their popularity and appeal
• too many lefty loonies F##k them and their F##king horse, wahoo.. lets go boys... yay ****, coke and swimming... vote me im strayan.. dutto was hoisted by ABC, gut and sell that f###ing left wing carnt aka The Minor Party appeal

oh how u hope so. jim will tear him apart piece by piece.

Of the declared Liberal leadership aspirants, Dan Tehan is the only one who is not entirely a work of satirical fiction, but they will go with Angus Taylor because he has the correct gender and the best hair.

ley will suffice though. thick s two planks.

Amy Remeikis (@amyremeikis.bsky.social)

Angus Taylor and Andrew Hastie have apparently cooled on the leadership tilt because no one wants to be the leader of the shitshow. Whoever wins the Liberal leadership will be a place holder - unlikely to lead them to the next election, certainly not PM. Sussan Ley firming

Are you saying Sussan will get into a relationship with a right wing Journo then lose her seat so she can expierence the full Zak Kirkup?

Because it shuts the door on regional Australia and that vacuum will be absorbed by more Independents.

Almost all the remaining Liberals are rural seats anyway, it’s weird to see Nats and Libs both representing completely rural electorates.

But those electorates are a minority of parliament and it’s hilarious to think they will win city electorates with eitherTaylor, Tehan or Ley, 3 rural MPs who all used to be farmers trying to appeal to the young, female, multicultural, educated urban voters.

[Johnny Bananas]

This is terribly disrespectful to the late Simon Crean

Crean seemed like a nice fellow but was not a good opposition leader. That isn't a disrespectful thing to say.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Strangely, if Hastie and Taylor are non-starters, Ley actually appears the most competent option.

Tehan, or even Wilson?! Parliamentary sessions would be cringeworthy. But just for the 3 years of lolz, "do it, do it, do it"!

 

[MCG-Unit]

Hastie

 

[schneebly111]

Crean seemed like a nice fellow but was not a good opposition leader. That isn't a disrespectful thing to say.

He had the guts to stand up to Howard and Bush's warmongering. Wish more pollies were like him

Holy shite after an election where bowing to MAGA and Trumpism annihilated then they are going to promote Miss MAGA Cap herself to the leadership team

You couldn’t make this sh*t up if you tried

 

[Northalives]

The Liberals want to install the crook Angus Taylor and the collaborator Jacinta price as their "dream leadership team" ..... fantastic!

The moron Taylor and the woman who joined the colonist's gravy train as leader and deputy will not stabilise the Liberals, it won't move them to the "centre right"; it will absolutely and utterly kill them off and I could not be happier.

It seems as if someone pointed the bone at Dutton, Bandt, the Greens and the Liberal Party.

Go Taylor/Price!

Gee, what a way to stereotype.

I’ve got quite a few farmer mates.

Every single one of them are university educated and a few of them are female also. With all of them having attended schools in urban areas…

Farmers aren’t hicks.

Most of them get entrusted with running businesses in the 10’s of millions in their 20’s and 30’s.

 

[Golden_6]

Jacinta Price as deputy?

This has to be some sort of satirical joke at this point. Taylor literally keeps falling upwards due to his own incompetence.

You couldn't find two people with deeper snouts in the trough if you tried.

Right in the centre between One nation and Trumpet of Patriots.

Tehan out.
