The problem they’ve got, IMHO, is that there isn’t a set of policies they can come up with that will restore their previous position. The electorate has fractured and split into separate groups.
If you look at the Teals movement over the last couple of elections and who votes for them you start to get the picture. The Teal voters are generally affluent inner and middle urbanites with higher levels of education and professional qualifications, and are more likely to be unaffiliated with religion. These people used to vote Liberal in their droves because there was no other option, and they’d never vote ALP even as a protest vote. These voters tend to be more concerned about climate change, gender equality and corruption. The Teals have given them an option that aligns more closely with their priorities than what the Coalition put forward.
The Coalition is dead IMHO and not worth salvaging. The Liberal party needs to decide if it is going to be chasing the Teal type voter, or chasing the One Nation type voter, and go all in on that target group. I don’t think the Liberal Party can appeal to both of them anymore, without turning both of them off. Gotta be one or the other. Either a centrist Teal type of party, or a hard right party.
But none of these will give them a big enough bloc to form government on their own. They either go down the gurgler entirely, or they become a niche permanent minor party.
just saw this hilarious cut though
politician (A) blames other political party (B) for being inept at being in politics when they (B) played politics and in the process smashed their political opponents (A) into fragments
no worries
One of Australia’s most brilliant political cartoonists, Jon Kudelka – who published more than 10,000 cartoons – has died in Hobart from a brain tumour.
sad.
One of the greats
well he lived to see it
so they were going that by pushing community LABOR to do hate speech laws in a mad rush there would be a mêlée and they could come from behind but because it didn’t work it’s all LABOR’s fault
