Fruit Cakes and Nutters

While I am on about the mad monk - he must be into the funny fruit cake - the one the nutters are into if he thinks that his persistent and negative BS will win him brownie points at the next election. It can't and it won't.

There was a time - not that long ago when it could have - or at least that was what the political class thought but there is some recent analysis that shows that the Australian voting population are a little bit smarter than the average coalition politician expects or thinks. Not that they do much of either.

Personally, I think that the monk's approach will backfire - big time. He will lose seats at the next election. And then he is kaput. But it's fun to watch.

The only people that his approach appeals to are the very small subset of the Coalition base that are already rusted on - they will never move - so why is he trying to make them even more rusted on? Stupid.

The Liberal thinkers - and there aren't all that many of them - want a reasoned, logical and thought out policy position - they don't want a numbnut circus. They will now be waverers.

The big issue though is that our government needs a credible opposition to perform properly.

An opposition driving carefully down the middle of the road with alternative ideas, concepts and policies with which to challenge. Not this ridiculous right wing rabble of one and a half nitwits.

The Libs lost the only chance that had to appeal to a broader church when they kicked Malcolm off the perch. He was the only one with the brains, the ideas and the ability to re-define the party in a way that appealed to a majority of Australians.

Perhaps they are having second thoughts!
