After failing with Family First and the resurrected DLP the nutters decided that it was easier and a lot cheaper to take over the Liberal Party.I think that indemnification would work if you had somebody like Pesutto as leader. But what if you had Deeming? Indemnifying Deeming for saying silly things sounds like something which would send you broke.
From an electoral point of view, I don't think it really matters who's leading the party as long as it is so clearly divided between reasonable and unreasonable.
Or, the reasonable will consider that they can never win unless the party is united and that the unreasonable will never use such reason. So the only way to win is if the reasonable people cede to the unreasonable who take over and hope they can hide their stupidity long enough to get elected.
