it’s never been as simplistic as that. and frankly, i don’t think it’s good for democracy for one party to be in power too long.
i’ve said many times in this and other threads i think pesutto is the libs best option. a centre-right leader is much more palatable to the moderates than the extremist right option pickles like the failed chief of staff and wannabe churnalist (credlin) and error-ridden so-called opinion writer (blot) espouse in the murdoch ratbaggery
as for jacinta, in many respects, she’s been left with a poison chalice. but the libs have a lot of ground to make up and the likes of deeming and her supporters are going to cause them a lot of electoral damage. a hung parliament is my tip so far out.
It is a long way out, but a hung parliament for the next election with currently no independents in the Legislative Assembly further leads one to the following conclusion: the only way the parliament will be hung is if the Greens Party has the balance of power. Which will only lead to a Labor minority government with the support of the Greens.
