There has been a lot of discussion about the 'teal' independents. In essence they are campaigning on more action on climate change and getting a federal ICAC up and running.
Some people have complained if they are successful then a number of moderate liberals wil lose their seats and Peter Dutton will end up leader.
This is completely wrong.
Firstly IF the teal independents are successful then they will show the Liberal party has to some extent lost their small l liberals supporters. They have already lost Warringah and no-one has learned any lessons from this. Whilst Big C conservatives have a loud voice they lose votes. How a big C conservative can vote against climate change or government governance merely shows us the Big C conservative are not really conservative at all.
Secondly no person in their right mind would elect Peter Dutton leader. He is a distinct electoral liability and his utterances as yet have not helped the government at all.
