Is it a bit premature to think the Liberal party may disintegrate as the 'right wing' and the 'centre' cannot seem to agree on anything.
Mainstream parties are broad churches and if one side is not accommodated a split occurs.
It happened in the mid 50s to the ALP however Evatt was quite clearly not the full quid. However this kept the ALP out of power for over a decade and Australia did not need that.
At present the Liberal party seems to be on that course. What I find mystifying is why climate change has become part of the culture wars. Perhaps some believe what happens in the USA should occur here as well. however as we saw yesterday renewables is the way to the future as solar now has the same cost as EXISTING coal stations.
It seems to me only two sorts of people would be spruiking coal. Idiots like Craig Kelly for example or those on the coal payroll.
With both the loss of Wenworth and now Julia Banks the government has given up on any thought of a legislative program.
No-one appears to know where to go in the government. They are desperate that Dutton is not referresd to the Court of Disputed Returns because they can only feel He will lose.
MP's who may lose pre-selection are threatening to go to the cross-bench.
It is a complete mess.
Australia cannot afford a split in the Liberal party just as it could not in the ALP. We also need a federal election as soon as possible.
