Latest Newspoll has Labor leading 53 to 47.

If it doesn't improve soon there will be a challenge,


I think we might see the coalition split three ways. A centrist Liberal party, a right wing Conservative party and the Nationals standing alone.

Latest Poll has the Libs beating Labor 53-47 in Victoria, two party preferred:

Could it be that the Greens will unshackle their support unless Andrews is deposed? I see the Greens utopian fantasies driving themselves further into the realm of Political Insanity until they actually believe they are relevant. Labor, the Party that sold-out its base to Globalism and Cultural Marxism will desiccate on the lost cause,Green poisoned, political umbilical cord.

2 more 'Special Election' wins for the Republicans overnight. That makes it 4 - 0 since Trump's win... The left is a cadaver walking in the US and soon it will be here.

Just listened to Karen Handel's (Georgia) acceptance speech - what humility and class. Polar opposite to the 'screaming banshees' on the left.

A coalition split is coming.

A centrist Liberal Party, a right wing Conservative party and the nutcase Nationals.

Federal Labor has extended its lead over the Turnbull government, and the prime minister’s disapproval rating is up four points in a month, according to the latest Guardian Essential poll.
 The new opinion survey of 1,826 voters has Labor ahead of the Coalition on the two-party preferred measure, 54% to 46%.

Interesting times. Might be some substance to this.

For mine a rookie move by Turnbull trying to define for everyone what the party is and isnt. Opens up division in this climate.

Very interesting. IMO the Australian political climate desperately needs a centralist party and push the other two further left and right. That way we could really vote for policies we believe in, give Governments stronger mandates on hard left/right policies etc.

Coalition split is looming



Could marriage showdown bring down Malcolm Turnbull's government?
Mark Kenny

The stakes in the looming same-sex marriage showdown within the governing parties may be higher than you think. Serious enough to raise confidence issues and cataclysmic enough therefore, to see the rebels back off.
And it gets worse. As recriminations fly, hardline conservatives are threatening to quit the Liberal Party and render Malcolm Turnbull a minority Prime Minister if marriage equality somehow comes to a vote.

I don't understand why Turnbull just doesn't walk away.

He understands that he can't abondon us to that backstabbing unionist gnome
