It took the Conservatives (Tories) in the UK ten years after they were routed in 1997 - and three lost national elections with three different leaders - to realise that just putting up the next most senior party member as the new leader wasn't going to win. The electorate wasn't rejecting the leader - they were rejecting the party. And then after 13 years once the Labour party had drunk to many magnums of hubris the same thing happened to them in 2010.I hope Dutton is the opposition leader. Libs will be routed like they were in WA. It will be interesting that with talk of introspection if they put Dutton up as their solution.
The biggest challenge to the ALP having at least three terms in power will be themselves and not shitting the bed (replacing their leader) as soon as an opinion poll says Albo isn't as popular as he was last month.
Bizarrely, Sky News seems to be blaming the loss on ScoMo being to centrist and are calling for the LNP to embrace more of its conservative ideals...good luck with that.
