The Libs only have themselves to blame for giving rise to the possibility of a split in the party led by Cory Bernardi and others. The discontent is illustrative as to what happens when you desert your base and install an out of touch, milk toast, leftie Green, Republican patrician like Malcolm Turnbull as Prime Minister.
It’s one thing for appeals to stick with the program and remain within the broad church but with left wing factional overlords like Michael Photios in NSW overseeing the preselection of like minded left wing factional hacks and another failed attempt to bust open preselections thwarted earlier this year, there’s not much point really.
Best to exorcise the demons and start again.
